Upgrade to Omeka Semantic

This repository contains the sources to build the pages that list the plugins, modules and themes of Omeka Classic and Omeka S.

To get the plugin that allows to upgrade automatically an Omeka Classic installation into Omeka Semantic, go to this page.

Update of the list of plugins, modules and themes

The lists are automatically generated from public sources on github and gitlab. Nevertheless, the new addons should be well referenced (via a readme or via a topic). To be sure it will be included, add the topic omeka, omeka-s, omeka-plugin, omeka-s-module, omeka-theme or omeka-s-theme to it on the main page of the addon, or use "Omeka" in the main readme of the addon repository.

To add bad referenced addons, simply fill its main url in the matching csv file in the directory _data/ and run the php script:

php -f _scripts/update_data.php

You may need to add a file with a token from your github account in _data/token_github.txt to be allowed to fetch more than 50 results.

Installation and development for Jekyll with theme Minima

For more info on local testing, see documentation on github pages. Github pages use currently these versions of Jekyll and Ruby.

For Debian 12:

sudo apt install ruby-full build-essential
# Exports should be added in .bashrc to avoid to export them each time.
export GEM_HOME="$HOME/gems"
export PATH="$HOME/gems/bin:$PATH"

# May or may not be sudo according to your installation.
sudo gem install rubygems-update
sudo update_rubygems
sudo gem update

# May be not installed by default.
gem install eventmachine http_parser.rb sass-embedded

# The main process to run the site locally.
# Important: It should be done every time the file _config.yml is updated.
cd UpgradeToOmekaS
bundle install
bundle exec jekyll serve

The site uses the theme minima. It is installed in the home directory (set above: ~/gems). To override a default file of the theme under ~/gems/gems/minima-2.5.2/, for example _includes/header.html, just copy it under the same hierarchy in the current directory.
