How to Add a Default Thumbnail For Unknown File Types¶

Quick Overview¶

This cookbook is about a feature only provided in the Enterprise Edition.

In the asset management each file type has a default image. Thus, if you add a new filetype, you might want to add a default one as well. To add a default image for an unknown file type, you have to override a service and a parameter in the dependency injection.

Note

Learn more about Symfony2 Dependency Injection in the documentation: https://symfony.com/doc/2.7/components/dependency_injection.html.

For the sake of the cookbook, we’ll add a default thumbnail for audio type. Currently, if an audio file is added in Akeneo this image is shown:

../../_images/misc_default.png

The goal is to display this one instead:

../../_images/audio_default.png

This cookbook assumes that you already created a new bundle. Let’s assume its namespace is Acme\CustomBundle.

Add the New Default Thumbnail¶

Add the new image in your bundle in Resources/public/img/.

Override the pim_enrich.guesser.file_type service and pim_enrich.provider.default_image.images parameter:

# /src/Acme/Bundle/CustomBundle/Resources/config/services.yml
parameters:
    pim_enrich.provider.default_image.images:
        pim_enrich_file_document: { path: '%kernel.root_dir%/../web/bundles/pimenrich/img/text_default.png', mime_type: image/png, extension: png }
        pim_enrich_file_image:    { path: '%kernel.root_dir%/../web/bundles/pimenrich/img/image_default.png', mime_type: image/png, extension: png }
        pim_enrich_file_video:    { path: '%kernel.root_dir%/../web/bundles/pimenrich/img/video_default.png', mime_type: image/png, extension: png }
        pim_enrich_file_misc:     { path: '%kernel.root_dir%/../web/bundles/pimenrich/img/misc_default.png', mime_type: image/png, extension: png }
        acme_custom_file_audio:   { path: '%kernel.root_dir%/../web/bundles/acmecustom/img/audio_default.png', mime_type: image/png, extension: png }

services:
    pim_enrich.guesser.file_type:
        class: '%pim_enrich.guesser.file_type.class%'
        arguments:
            - acme_custom_file_audio: ['audio/*']

Then remove Symfony cache and reinstall PIM assets: php bin/console cache:clear php bin/console pim:install:assets

Now, you can add a mp3 file in an asset and in the grid you’ll see your new thumbnail.
