Overriding default configurations

The Brightcove portlet stores some default values, such as the Brightcove REST read and upload token or the default view to render. We can override the read REST token, the upload REST token, and the view configuration settings with the content template.

When we override the default configuration settings, we can make specific content templates for playlists. Or we can create content templates for a new account.

1. In the Brightcove portlet preferences, configure the content template elements BC_OVERRIDE_READ_TOKEN, BC_OVERRIDE_UPLOAD_TOKEN, and BC_OVERRIDE_VIEW. For example, set BC_OVERRIDE_READ_TOKEN to read, BC_OVERRIDE_UPLOAD_TOKEN to upload and BC_OVERRIDE_VIEW to view.

2. Define the corresponding elements in then default content. The elements must be of type text or OptionSelection. The values defined in the content template and default content are active. The elements can be hidden from the content authors creating content items based on the these templates.
