Media integration – brix:anura

Integrate assets managed in CELUM directly into any website – seamless media integration made easy

As a company, you are interested in making your digital media available to your website visitors at all times. In doing so, you always want to display the most current media that have been approved for this purpose and, depending on this, only authorized persons should be able to download them. For this to work perfectly, a seamless connection to the CELUM ContentHub is essential.

With brix:anura you can integrate your CELUM assets, e.g. as image and video galleries or document downloads, into existing websites or brand portals – easily and flexibly. This way, they remain up-to-date at all times and manual maintenance in the content management system (CMS) is no longer necessary.

brix:anura consists of a CELUM extension for the backend and a collection of components (modular jQuery plugins) for the frontend.

The ever-growing number of components for brix:anura developed by us allows easy integration of CELUM ContentHub assets into almost all web-based platforms – completely in your corporate design.

Access to brix:anura can be defined according to your needs. For example, define a user authentication for existing CELUM users. Without a CELUM user, user verification can also be performed using an OpenID server.

Besides the seamless integration of multimedia data into a website, brix:anura can also be used as an asset picker with an independent system. Likewise, only the brix:anura API can also be used on its own.

Depending on your needs, additional settings and CSS adjustments can be made at any time. brix:anura can also be used as an API and offers a variety of protection options.

Individual combination

The brix:anura frontend plugins are independent components that you can freely combine and use to customize your CMS integration. Additional integrations with third-party systems can be realized without much effort through events and callbacks.

Scalable

Top search engine

Automatic reduction of the search criteria, respectively the values by the so-called faceted search, so that the filter search always leads to a result, including display of the number of remaining assets if that filter is applied.

Powerful API

Our API allows you to use brix:anura as an AssetPicker. If the frontend plugins can't or won't be used, the integration can also be done via API.
