Integrate Kentico with a digital media platform
I should integrate in Kentico an external platform where "big" media contents (.pdf, .mov ...) would be stored instead than on our web server (a kind of site acceleration).
This platform (specifically 4ME New Vision) has its own apis and exposes methods (webservices) to publish and retrieve media contents. I'm trying to understand if it is possible, while selecting some media content in cmsdesk, to automatically publish it on the external platform and also automatically retrieve it from that place in html pages.
Otherwise I need to "manually" store predefined contents and "manually" customize specific web pages to retrieve those contents, that is not the desired thing for us.
I'd like to find some examples if possible of a similar integration.
NB: If my explanation is not enough clear please tell me and I'll try to give you other details about what we should do.
Thank you very very much, Kind Regards. Andrea

Hi,

One of my colleagues might be able to give you a more specific answer as I have never tried using this platform, but the following documentation should give you an idea of how to get started:

Integration bus module

Integrating existing applications

Since this product was developed by a third party we may not have any relevant examples but one of our partners may, since they usually deal with similar projects.

Regards,
Sandro

Hello,

Integration bus is available since v6. So you will need to use the second approach and basically develop everything on your own. Or, you can upgrade to a newer version too.

Best regards,
