PPI CX Fusion (fka Tohoop)

purple hub summary ppi / cx fusion / starlink is a plugin for purple hub that allows to sync articles from the purple hub with the ppi "cx fusion" print system using the integration, publishers are able to use articles from their digital cms purple hub for their printed newspaper ppi cx fusion offers a bidirectional synchronisation and a print layout preview in the purple hub preconditions have an active ppi licence have the 'administrator' role in purple hub how to the correct settings for the integration need to be coordinated with ppi directly and are done in the setup phase of each project the following documentation focuses on the part done by purple project staff or clients themselves there are two things that need to be done on the side of purple activation of the plugins generation of api keys activation of the plugins in order to setup the configuration correctly, the ppi plugins need to be activated 1\ in purple hub > plugins, activate the plugins "ppi starlink" and "ppi block tools" 2\ contact the ppi project manager for the correct configuration of the ppi settings 3\ if you are using ppi in combination with purple variants, then you need to add the print variant to the allowed post types this should be written as 'pv print' other custom post types can also be added here if necessary settings for ppi starlink generate api keys for the connection between ppi cx fusion / starlink and purple hub is done on a per user basis there are two ways how this can be setup authentication using standard purple hub credentials authentication using a user based "application password" since using the standard purple hub credentials means, that some ppi calls to the purple hub have to go through the purple sso authentication system, there is a performance impact using the "application password" offers better performance purple strongly recommends using the application password for the ppi integration how do you create an application password? for the integration of ppi using the application password, a purple hub administrator needs to generate an application password for every purple hub user that wants to use ppi to create an application password for a purple hub user, take the following steps in purple hub, go to "users" > "all users" and select the user for whom you want to generate the application password from the list and click on it on the user profile, scroll down to the "application passwords" section 3\ enter the name for the password ideally showing what the password is for in the case of the ppi integration the name "ppi" is recommended 4\ once you click on "add new application password" a box is shown with the new application password for that user please note this is the only time the password is shown make sure to copy the password after the page is reloaded, there is no way to view the password again 5\ once the password is generated it is possible to revoke the password for the user 6\ once all the passwords are generated, please provide them to your contact at ppi to finish the setup use encrypted communication when sending passwords to partners, always make sure to use an encrypted way of communication email is not encrypted and not secure extra points of attention currently ppi starlink is not supporting print file handling, this should be disabled for customers who have ppi / starlink see also print images docid\ lfwf bbbygycztmy81wpm as a result, when the print file handling is disabled, print images like psd/tiff become the mime type image, instead of file this is done on request of ppi to have it better function with their system the hub standard is to only allow images of a resolution 2560px by 2560px images uploaded above that threshold will be downscaled for print sometimes higher resolution images are requested therefore superadmins (purple users) can set a different resolution in settings > media > general customer should be aware that larger resolution images can be published in articles and therefore cause performance problems because of longer loading times, as well increased costs can only be used when custom s3 bucket is enabled to track the extra possible costs ppi has their own dropdown in the purple hub interface 'print / online' this can be used instead of our own purple variants when needed but can also be disabled in the ppi starlink settings
