Uninstalling

Configuration

The DAM is configured in /modules/dam:

Folders:

• apps: Assets app 1.x configuration.
• config: Media types and content disposition header exclusion configurations.
• dialogs: Dialog definitions used by the Assets app and other apps.
• commands: markAssetFolderAsDeleted command definition.
• fieldTypes: DAM upload field definition.

Media types

The DAM supports the following media types: image, audio, video, document, flash and application. 

Media types are configured in the /dam/config/mediaTypes node. The link between the MimeType and the MediaType is done by configuration and RegexVoters. For more information see Renditions and media types.

Here's an example configuration for the audio media type.

Content disposition

It is possible to configure the handling of Content-Disposition headers for all content in the DAM in the /dam/config/contentDisposition node. By default the DAM is configured to not serve the Content-Disposition header for flash and video files. All other content is served with the Content-Disposition header enabled by default. If you need to disable serving content with Content-Disposition header for other content types, add their MIME types to /dam/config/contentDisposition/contentType/rejected.

To disable serving the Content-Disposition header based on path follow these steps:

1. Create a new node inline under contentDisposition.
2. Under the new content node, create three property nodes:
   
   • class and set the value to info.magnolia.voting.voters.URIStartsWithVoter.
   • pattern and set the value to /dam/inline.
   • not and set the value to true.

This will configure all files in folder inline to be sent without content disposition headers. The new content node should look like this:
