Custom Content Metadata layout

In this tutorial, we are going to implement the following features:

• MetadataLayout oriented config

Metadata Layout oriented config

Update your-app.extensions.json file, and insert a new entry to the features.content-metadata-presets.customsection:

{
  "features": {
    "content-metadata-presets": [
      {
        "custom": [
          ......
        ]
      }
    ]
  }
}

If you need to configure the groups and properties in a more detailed way. With this type of configuration any property of any aspect/type can be "cherry picked" and grouped into an accordion drawer, along with a translatable title defined in the preset configuration.

In the example below we are going to display in a new group all the properties of the cm:versionable aspect

{
  "features": {
    "content-metadata-presets": [
      {
        "custom": [
          {
            "id": "custom.features",
            "title": "MY_CUSTOM_TITLE",
            "items": [
              {
                "id": "cm:versionable",
                "aspect": "cm:versionable",
                "properties": "*"
              }
            ]
          }
        ]
      }
    ]
  }
}

In the example below we are going to display in a new group some of the cm:dublincore aspect:

{
  "features": {
    "content-metadata-presets": [
      {
        "custom": [
          {
            "id": "custom.features.two",
            "title": "MY_CUSTOM_TITLE_TWO",
            "items": [
              {
                "id": "cm:dublincore",
                "aspect": "cm:dublincore",
                "properties": [
                  "cm:rights",
                  "cm:title"
                ]
              }
            ]
          }
        ]
      }
    ]
  }
}

In the example below we are going to display in the same group a mix of cm:dublincore and cm:versionable aspect:

{
  "features": {
    "content-metadata-presets": [
      {
        "custom": [
          {
            "id": "custom.features.two",
            "title": "MY_CUSTOM_TITLE_TWO",
            "items": [
              {
                "id": "cm:dublincore",
                "aspect": "cm:dublincore",
                "properties": [
                  "cm:rights",
                  "cm:title"
                ]
              },
              {
                "id": "cm:versionable",
                "aspect": "cm:versionable",
                "properties": "*"
              }
            ]
          }
        ]
      }
    ]
  }
}

Note: empty aspect or aspect not associated to the node will not be displayed

Exclude aspects or properties

You can also exclude specific aspects by adding the exclude property. It can be either a string if it's only one aspect or an array if you want to exclude multiple aspects at once:

{
  "features": {
    "content-metadata-presets": [
      {
        "custom": [
          {
            "id": "app.content.metadata.customSetting",
            "includeAll": true,
            "exclude": ["exif:exif", "owner:parameters"]
          }
        ]
      }
    ]
  }
}

When using this configuration you can still whitelist aspects and properties as you desire. The example below shows this with an aspect-oriented config:

{
  "features": {
    "content-metadata-presets": [
      {
        "custom": [
          {
            "id": "app.content.metadata.customSetting",
            "includeAll": true,
            "exclude": ["cm:dublincore", "owner:parameters"]
          },
          {
            "id": "custom.features.two",
            "title": "MY_CUSTOM_TITLE_TWO",
            "items": [
              {
                "id": "cm:dublincore",
                "aspect": "cm:dublincore",
                "properties": [
                  "cm:rights",
                  "cm:title"
                ]
              },
              {
                "id": "cm:versionable",
                "aspect": "cm:versionable",
                "properties": "*"
              }
            ]
          }
        ]
      }
    ]
  }
}
