IntelligenceBank.OptimizelyCMS12 2.0.1

IntelligenceBank Connector for Optimizely CMS 12

Browse, search and insert approved IntelligenceBank digital assets — as Public CDN links or local copies — directly inside Optimizely CMS 12.

This package is a Razor Class Library: add the package reference and it wires itself up. No source files are copied into your project, and no manual Startup.cs changes are required.

1. Install

dotnet add package IntelligenceBank.OptimizelyCMS12

The package auto-registers its editors, block and client resources (served from /_content/IntelligenceBank.OptimizelyCMS12/…). Do not add <ExcludeAssets>all</ExcludeAssets> — the assets are meant to load.

2. Configure appsettings.json

Add an IntelligenceBank section. Only PlatformURL is typically required; everything else has a sensible default.

{
  "IntelligenceBank": {
    "PlatformURL": "mycompany",
    "InsertionMode": "publicLinks",
    "EnableCustomURL": false,
    "EnableBrowserLogin": false,
    "EnableRichTextPlugin": true,
    "IFrameEndpoint": "https://ucprod.intelligencebank.com/app/",
    "AllowedDownloadHosts": "intelligencebank.com"
  }
}

3. Use one (or more) of the three patterns

The package surfaces three DAM integration patterns; use whichever fit your site.

a) Assets Block — in the editor, add an "IntelligenceBank Assets" block to any content area, then pick an asset.

b) Property asset-picker — annotate any string property to get an inline picker in the edit form:

using IntelligenceBank.OptimizelyCMS12.Business;

[IntelligenceBankAsset]
public virtual string HeroImage { get; set; }

The property stores the selected asset as JSON (url, name, type, id …); parse it in your view/template as needed.

c) Rich-text insertion — set "EnableRichTextPlugin": true. An IntelligenceBank button appears on the TinyMCE toolbar and inserts the selected asset (image / video / audio / link) at the cursor.

4. (Optional) Brand the block icon in the CMS shell

The block shows the IntelligenceBank sun icon only if the CMS shell loads the package's stylesheet. The CMS shell loads editor CSS through the module system (which scans the app content root, not a class library), so add two small files to your site:

1. A module.config in your project root:

   <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
   <module>
     <clientResources>
       <add name="epi-cms.widgets.base" path="Styles/ib-shell-icons.css" resourceType="Style" />
     </clientResources>
   </module>
   

2. wwwroot/ClientResources/Styles/ib-shell-icons.css with one line:

   @import url('/_content/IntelligenceBank.OptimizelyCMS12/js/custom/css/intelligencebank-icons.css');
   

All the icon rules and images ship inside this package; the two files above just point the shell at them.

Requirements

• Optimizely CMS 12 (EPiServer.CMS 12.x) on .NET 8.
• Editors reach the IntelligenceBank web app over HTTPS (the embedded app relies on third-party session cookies).
