Looking at the generated code in the admin panel for adding an item to a collection, I can see that only 10 collections are generated in the drop down list (in the admin page ---&gt; either when you're adding a single item or batch adding many items, the Collection Metadata --&gt; Collection drop down list only returns the first ten collections).</p> <p>I'm guessing the reason is in the PHP that generates the form for the drop down list. After looking through a lot of the PHP code, I'm guessing the file that needs adjusting is in</p> <p>admin/themes/default/items</p> <p>and it's around line 337. I'll add the code below although I'm not sure how it will display when I submit this post:</p> <p><code><br /> </code><code>&lt;fieldset id=&quot;collection-metadata&quot;&gt;</code><br /> <code>&lt;legend&gt;Collection Metadata&lt;/legend&gt;</code><br /> <code>&lt;div class=&quot;field&quot;&gt;</code><br /> <code>&lt;?php select(&#39;collection_id&#39;,</code><br /> <code>collections(),</code><br /> <code>$item-&gt;collection_id,</code><br /> <code>&#39;Collection&#39;,</code><br /> <code>&#39;id&#39;,</code><br /> <code>&#39;name&#39; ); ?&gt;</code></p> <p>In my limited experience, the code above looks good to me. Does anything think otherwise? Could the problem be there or somewhere else?</p> <p>Thanks. </p> http://omeka.org/forums/topic/getting-the-contribution-plugin-to-work#post-510 Tue, 01 Jul 2008 18:59:29 +0000 tmikk 510@http://omeka.org/forums/ <p>Here is a bit more information about the problem.</p> <p>The error #1 appears to have something to do with me serving the site from root url.

The forum message you dug up was 7 months ago during our Private Alpha testing stage, and much of the code has changed since then.

People who are upgrading will move their config files and archive directory from the old omeka to the new one and then run a script through the administrative backend to upgrade their database. That will be the extent of the upgrade for anyone who hasn't modified any of the PHP files in Omeka.</p> <p>When you say "get too far along in something", do you mean changing the core of the application, or do you making extensions like themes or plugins? If you've changed any PHP files in Omeka's code base that aren't either plugins, themes, or configuration files, chances are that your changes won't work in the new version. It'd be best to make a list of all the things you've changed and then it will be easier to upgrade later. </p> <p>Plugins and themes are a different story. I can say with certainty that the API for Omeka's themes and plugins in the next version will be changing considerably from the current 0.9 release branch, though we haven't finalized the changes yet. The changes in the API are necessary because we've made some pretty fundamental changes to Omeka's database, and the old themes won't work with the new database. That said, we'll be upgrading all the themes and plugins that we've released to work with the new system, so we'll most likely have instructions on our codex as well as answering specific questions on the forums. </p> <p>Hope that helps! </p> http://omeka.org/forums/topic/new-install-paircom-cannot-upload-images#post-500 Fri, 27 Jun 2008 20:29:33 +0000 bethnicol 500@http://omeka.org/forums/ <p>Kris:</p> <p>Is this fix in 0.9.2?

I've been back and forth on the boards lately and have another question. This time, I'm curious about upgrading Omeka. I know from version .9 to .91 all that really had to be done was replace a few files. Is this going to be the case in future versions?

If you have the PEAR File module installed, there is a naming conflict between classes in that and Omeka. Specifically the File class is defined twice. </p> <p>To get around that, open up 'paths.php' in the root of your installation and find the line that says <code>set_include_path(get_include_path() . PATH_SEPARATOR . ...);</code>. Remove the part that says <code>get_include_path() . PATH_SEPARATOR .</code> because that will take out the existing include path to the PEAR modules. Omeka doesn't use any of these PEAR modules so it shouldn't be a problem. I'm thinking that this is a bug that should be fixed in the upcoming Omeka release.</p> <p>Hope that helps! </p> http://omeka.org/forums/topic/installation-on-dreamhost-did-not-work#post-490 Tue, 17 Jun 2008 18:39:20 +0000 jstrobel 490@http://omeka.org/forums/ <p>Hi,<br /> after many troubles with my past provider, I wasn't able to install omeka, so I switched to dreamhost (as recommended on omeka's web-site).</p> <p>I switched to php5.2, what seems to be the most issue that people had.</p> <p>I run the installation, which finished smoothly.</p> <p>Then the problem:</p> <p>The whole site is just blank when I call it.
