picture attribute not behaving like a media container

Niranjan_Kosaraju

The Image on Product (picture attribute) is setup as openTextMediaReferenceSelector.

After an asset is assigned to picture, customer is expecting that the Media Container of the picture is set. Their frontend (e-commerce site) code is looking to display a certain format of a Media Container.

Since the asset assignment is not setting a media container, no image is coming up on the frontend site. (see screenshot below).

I asked them to set the picture as openTextMediaReferenceCollectionSelector. I think even with that, we are not seeing the media container populated.

 

We looked at the picture assignment for a product that they assigned using OOTB Hybris Image editor before. That does show the Media Container with different formats.

How do we set to populate the Media Container of picture?

Hi,

 

Adding media containers implicitly from assigning to picture is a standard feature; it just needs configuration. For any attribute which when assigned also should create an assignment to gallery attribute and media container you need a local.properties configuration like this:

 

otmm.otmmAssetSync.mapTo.picture=thumbnail,others,galleryImages

Which would declare that if you assign something to picture, then also the galleryImages attribute should be assigned. The rendition configuration created for galleryImages will be looked up as well to decide what formats will be part of the media container, so you also need declaration of the galleryImages renditions for example like this:

otmm.renderings.BITMAP.galleryImages=1,2,3,4,5,6

(where in turn rendition configuration needs to exist for the enlisted rendition numbers)

The principle is described in the DAMLink hybris documentation3.1.2 – Configure assignment of implicit attributes
