About this plugin
The CanDAM WordPress editor button connector for Fotoware – Base – allows to include images directly from the Fotoweb DAM, into WordPress.
In this base plugin version, only images are supported and they are not imported in the WordPress Library, but stay in the Fotoweb repository at the desired dimensions and are referenced by the permalink of the Embedded export file into the WordPress Editor.
The Pro version of the plugin also supports embedding thumbnails for documents and audio and video files, and allows to optionally import the file previews into the WordPress Library, so that images and other referenced assets are always available in WordPress, even if the link to the Fotoweb site is down.
This feature might be handy if for instance your Fotoweb DAM site is on a secured intranet while your WordPress site is public.
In addition, the Pro version of the plugin allows to include a block of preformatted text which may contain asset metadata. You may define up to 3 metadata text templates, and choose the text position (above, left, right or below the image or asset) right after you hit the Publish Button.
Note: To be able to use the Plugin, you minimally need to have a client access license for the selection widget and the Export module of Fotoweb 8. Additional requirements for licensing may exist both at the server and client level. com or call-us for current requirements.
To enable the FancyBox popup window showing when you click an image to display a larger preview, you need to install the free WordPress plugin Easy FancyBox from RavenH.
