Omeka: Documentation for Upgrades & Maintenance

When upgrading to new versions of Omeka, we need to edit one PHP file manually afterwards so that images display correctly on item record pages.

Omeka has a PHP file that controls where the image (or video player, etc.) appears on an item record. By default, the image will display towards the bottom of the item record underneath the metadata fields, making it "below the fold" when users click on an item record. We want the image to appear at the top of the page so that users see it right away. Here is an example of an item record page.

Go to

/srv/websites/exhibits.lib.pacificu.edu/application/views/scripts/items/show.php

Move

<?php echo all_element_texts('item'); ?>

Below

<!-- The following returns all of the files associated with an item. -->

<?php if (metadata('item', 'has files')): ?>

<div id="itemfiles" class="element">

<h3><?php echo __('Files'); ?></h3>

<div class="element-text"><?php echo files_for_item(); ?></div>

</div>

<?php endif; ?>
