Upgrade to Omeka S

[Daniel Berthereau]

Hi,

I just published a new plugin for Omeka: "Upgrade to Omeka Semantic"
(https://github.com/Daniel-KM/UpgradeToOmekaS). It upgrades metadata,
files, params and themes and some plugins that exists under Omeka S.
This is a simple plugin, so quick to install and try.

The main benefit is that the id of items are kept, so the common urls
publicly used on the web
are not lost. The id of collections and files are lost, because of the
structure of the database of Omeka S. Users are upgraded too, but they
have to ask for a new password on the login page. The simple pages and
exhibits keep their slugs. Furthermore, there is a compatibility layer
that adds a route for old urls `items/show/#id` to the new format
`item/#id` and redirects them to the items of the specified site of
Omeka S.

Themes that are heavily customized may need some manual changes, but
common themes works fine. For plugins that are not yet upgraded to Omeka
S or when there is no processor to upgrade data and files, contact me.

Sincerely,

Hello,

Thank you for your regular updates of very useful plugins for Omeka 2 and now Omeka S. 

I am not sure I have understood well the transfer process from Omeka 2 to Omeka S though: should one install UpgradeToOmekaS plugin in Omeka 2 and then UpgradeFromOmekaClassic module in Omeka S?

Does the compatibility layer in the routes you talk about in the presentation of this plugin enable to keep a neat tree organisation and clear names for files as it was the case for the plugin Archive Repertory?

Thank you in advance!

Hi,

Just try it, you'll understand simpler!

Yes, the names of the files and the structure used by Archive Repertory are kept too, like the id of the items and users the slugs of the simple pages and exhibits. There is a bug when the file contains multiple dots, but it will be fixed in the next release.

Note that there is already a module "Archive Repertory" (see https://daniel-km.github.io/UpgradeToOmekaS/ for the list of all available plugins and modules for Omeka S). It works only partially the same (the name of files are kept, but there is currently no folder created by item). The config is currently not upgraded automatically, so you'll have to install it yourself. I'll add an automatic upgrader for it next week.

The plugin downloads the last release of Omeka S (still beta), install it in the directory you specify, and copy all the files too (there are always "original", "fullsize", "square" and thumbnails", even if the names changed). The records are copied in the database you specify too.

The module "Upgrade From Omeka Classic" is automatically installed, but it is used only for the theme. You can uninstall it if you don't use the upgraded theme, but a new official one. It adds some routes for the items, but this is only some lines in config/module.config.php, so you can copy/adapt them in the main config.

In fact, the internal of Omeka Classic and Omeka S are largely different, but the concepts are very similar: after all, this is always a digital library, with records, files, metadata and pages, but more semantic.

Sincerely,

Daniel Berthereau
