Derivative configuration

Image files

By default we make use of the 'webimage' derivative for image files. This means that instead of the original file the 'webimage' derivative is added to your Wordpress content. It is possible to make use of one of the alternative default derivatives or one of your custom public derivatives. To change the image derivative used, open the plugin package. Go to the folder views and open the file container.php. On line 33 replace the value 'webimage' with the name of the derivative you want to make use of.

var thumbnail = asset.thumbnails['webimage'];

Video files

By default we make use of the 'mp4' video derivative, but you can also make use of the other format 'webm' that we offer. To change the video derivative used, open the plugin package. Go to the folder views and open the file container.php. On line 39 replace the value 'webm' with the name of the derivative you want to make use of.

var videoURL = asset.videoPreviewURLs.filter(function (url) { return url.match(/mp4$/) })[0];
