# Setting up the settings for your system

We suggest to put the code into a `config/system/custom.php` file.

First add the following lines to `config/system/additional.php`.

```php
if (is_file(__DIR__ . '/custom.php')) {
    require_once __DIR__ . '/custom.php';
}
```

Then create a file `config/system/custom.php` with following content:

```php
<?php

putenv('ADMIRALCLOUD_ACCESS_SECRET=xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx');
putenv('ADMIRALCLOUD_ACCESS_KEY=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx');
putenv('ADMIRALCLOUD_CLIENT_ID=xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx');
putenv('ADMIRALCLOUD_DISABLE_FILEUPLOAD=0');
putenv('ADMIRALCLOUD_FLAG_CONFIG_ID=0');

putenv('ADMIRALCLOUD_DISABLE_FILEUPLOAD=1');
putenv('ADMIRALCLOUD_IS_PRODUCTION=1');
putenv('ADMIRALCLOUD_IMAGE_CONFIG_ID=238');
putenv('ADMIRALCLOUD_VIDEO_CONFIG_ID=239');
putenv('ADMIRALCLOUD_DOCUMENT_CONFIG_ID=240');
putenv('ADMIRALCLOUD_AUDIO_CONFIG_ID=241');
putenv('ADMIRALCLOUD_FLAG_CONFIG_ID=10');
putenv('ADMIRALCLOUD_IFRAMEURL=https://t3intpoc.admiralcloud.com/');

// Optional override of environment variables
putenv('ADMIRALCLOUD_METADATA_FIELD_OVERRIDE_title=container_name');
putenv('ADMIRALCLOUD_METADATA_FIELD_OVERRIDE_alternative=meta_alttag');
putenv('ADMIRALCLOUD_METADATA_FIELD_OVERRIDE_description=container_description');
putenv('ADMIRALCLOUD_METADATA_FIELD_OVERRIDE_copyright=meta_iptc_copyrightNotice');

$GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['SYS']['caching']['cacheConfigurations']['admiral_cloud_connector'] = [
    'frontend' => \TYPO3\CMS\Core\Cache\Frontend\PhpFrontend::class,
    'backend' => \TYPO3\CMS\Core\Cache\Backend\FileBackend::class,
    'groups' => [
        'all',
        'system',
    ],
    'options' => [
        'defaultLifetime' => 0,
    ],
];
```

You have ro replace the credentials for `ADMIRALCLOUD_ACCESS_SECRET`, `ADMIRALCLOUD_ACCESS_KEY` and
`ADMIRALCLOUD_CLIENT_ID` with your own. These will be send to you by AdmiralCloud via Mails and SMS.

`ADMIRALCLOUD_METADATA_FIELD_OVERRIDE_title`, `ADMIRALCLOUD_METADATA_FIELD_OVERRIDE_alternative`,
`ADMIRALCLOUD_METADATA_FIELD_OVERRIDE_description`, and `ADMIRALCLOUD_METADATA_FIELD_OVERRIDE_copyright`
are optional settings. The part after the last underscore corresponds with the respective field name in TYPO3.
After the equal sign fill in the name of the name of the Admiral Cloud field from which you like to pull the data.
