    • Configuration
    • Configuration of the DAM and it's module are provided through TSconfig. For User and Page TSconfig the same properties are available for configuration. Please keep in mind Page TSconfig will be read from the DAM SysFolder only.
    • Configuration is placed in
    • mod.txdamM1_* ... module configuration
    • tx_dam. ... general DAM configuration
    • Disable submodules
    • Set Media SysFolder invisible
    • Disable Upload in RTE for media links and images
    • Disabling tabs in image element browser
    • If you want to disable tabs in the RTE insert image dialogue, use the following TSconfig:
    • RTE.default.buttons.image.options.removeItems = media_plain,
    • media_magic, media_dragdrop, media_upload
    • //or
    • RTE.default.blindImageOptions = media_plain, media_magic,
    • media_dragdrop, media_upload
    • Setup styles for media links
    • In order to enable users to choose the style of a media link, use the following TSconfig setup for RTE:
    • RTE.classesAnchor {
    • download {
    • class = download
    • type = media
    • titleText = [yourTitleText]
    • target = _blank
    • }
    • }
    • In difference to the classic file module, you need to set type = media (instead of type = file)
    • Enable secure downloads
    • Add the following TS to your template:
    • plugin.tx_dam_tsfemediatag.tag.typolink.jumpurl = 1 plugin.tx_dam_tsfemediatag.tag.typolink.jumpurl.secure = 1
    • If you then create a text element with a link to a media element, the link will be secured (ie will not point directly to the file on the server).
    • Keep in mind, the file will still be accessible. Use web server configuration to lock the directory against direct access.
