About
The SharedRepositories module lets educational institutions and enterprises create a shared media library where anyone with access can publish content to other areas in Content Hubs, LMS Extensions and KAF.
Members can browse and publish media from the shared repository to other channels or categories.
Configure
1. Go to your Configuration Management console, locate the SharedRepositories module in the left panel, then select it. You can also navigate directly: https://{your_site_url}/admin/config/tab/SharedRepositories.
The SharedRepositories page displays.
2. Configure the following:
enabled - Set to 'Yes' to enable the module.
amountOfSharedRepositories - Enter the number of shared repositories to show in the user dropdown when adding media to a channel from shared repository.
termsOfUseLink - Enter a link to the Terms of Use page.
nestedFilters - Set to 'Yes' to enable nested filters. To learn how to create nested filters, see Create nested filters.
customDataProfileId - Choose a custom metadata schema for media in the shared repository.
All custom data schemas are created in the Rich Media CMS. To learn more, see Introduction to custom metadata in Rich Media CMS.
The customDataProfileId you select must be different to the profileId selected in the Customdata module.
requiredFields - Choose which custom metadata fields are required before publishing media to a shared repository.
To learn more, see Create a custom data schema.
3. Click Save.
Currently, searching for nested filters is only available through the Shared Repository's Advanced Search. To enable this feature, ensure that CustomDataProfileId and/or nested filters are defined for the Advanced Search form to appear.
