Provider
Cloudinary provider is installed automatically from the first time it’s installed. If you don’t see this, it may not be installed properly, or it may be deleted by accidentally, you can recreate it similar to this structure.
Renderer
This implementation provides its own renderer:
info.magnolia.external.dam.cloudinary.renderer.CloudinaryAssetRendererThis renderer will get the renditions from Cloudinary directly, if the rendition is just a number, it will append 'w_' by default for compatibility with the demo project, other renditions can be get like this:
damfn.getRendition(asset, "w_400,h_400,c_crop,g_face,r_max/w_200")Endpoint
From version 1.1.2/* there is new configuration that adds an endpoint and a rest role added to the anonymous user for Cloudinary access.
The endpoint will receive Cloudinary notifications to refresh the cache when working directly with Cloudinary server, to configure the notification_url, log into Cloudinary Management Console and in Settings/Upload there is the notification_url setting, it should be the domain name and the endpoint path like the following:
http://yourdomain.com/.rest/cloudinary/v1/resetCaches
