We've made sure all themes released in the future follow this convention consistently, which should allow you to embed the audio right on an item show page.</p> <p>At this time we don't have any kind of flash-based media player to handle media output, although that would be a welcome addition in the future -- possibly as a plugin. </p> http://omeka.org/forums/topic/audio-files#post-141 Thu, 14 Feb 2008 01:50:20 +0000 mtebeau 141@http://omeka.org/forums/ <p>This really is probably a continuation of the movie files query, but I will ask anyway.</p> <p>Is there a way to play sound in the exhibit space or on the display pages of an item? We can download an audio file (from the archive) and it plays. But, it does not display in an audio player embedded in the page. The parallel is that the images open and are visible right away. I would like to do this with sound. The movie question appears to be similar.</p> <p>Our goal would be to create exhibits with sound/images/film using Omeka that look something like (though somewhat less elaborately designed) one of our dynamic pages:<br /> <a href="http://www.culturalgardens.org/" rel="nofollow">http://www.culturalgardens.org/</a><br /> and/or<br /> <a href="http://academic.csuohio.edu/euclidcorridor/" rel="nofollow">http://academic.csuohio.edu/euclidcorridor/</a></p> <p>My guess about the appropriate answer: I build a plug-in that will display the sound/movie in the exhibits. This seems obvious, but I want to confirm that there is not a straightforward answer within Omeka itself....</p> <p>We have lots of excited community partners!!! </p> http://omeka.org/forums/topic/clicking-batch-add-in-the-archive-screen-returns-the-user-to-the-dashboard#post-140 Tue, 12 Feb 2008 15:49:28 +0000 JeremyBoggs 140@http://omeka.org/forums/ <p>Hi Matt,</p> <p>I had accidently installed a newer version of the dropbox plugin, that apparently doesn't work with RC4.

(I have already FTP'd the files to the chnm/curiosity/plugins/Dropbox/files directory) but i see no options through the web application.</p> <p>A potential separate but possibly related issue:</p> <p>As I was further testing the issue today, I encountered the following on Vista while using IE 7, when I select to add an item (from the main dashboard page), I see the list of items I uploaded through FTP with the check boxes. I also see the list of files in Firefox (also running on Vista). When I look in Firefox on OS X, I do not see the uploaded items.</p> <p>However, if I check any of the boxes and finish add process, The images are then associated with one item. </p> <p>This seems to be a separate issue. I have screen-shots if you would like them.</p> <p>Thanks,</p> <p>Matt </p> http://omeka.org/forums/topic/clicking-batch-add-in-the-archive-screen-returns-the-user-to-the-dashboard#post-137 Mon, 11 Feb 2008 05:00:13 +0000 DaveLester 137@http://omeka.org/forums/ <p>Let me clarify something: When you click the 'batch add' secondary tab you're brought back to the dashboard? Or that once you select files on that page, and try uploading them that you're sent to the dashboard?</p> <p>Neither should occur, but it may give me a better idea of what's going on. Make sure the files directory is writable, because the plugin actually moves files within the file system and will remove them from the /files/ folder upon success. </p> http://omeka.org/forums/topic/clicking-batch-add-in-the-archive-screen-returns-the-user-to-the-dashboard#post-136 Mon, 11 Feb 2008 03:05:16 +0000 mmesseng 136@http://omeka.org/forums/ <p>I am attempting to use the Batch Add feature under the Archive and seem to be encountering a problem.

So, if you wanted to edit the about page in the "default" theme, you'd edit the file at this location:</p> <p><code>/path/to/omeka/themes/default/about.php</code></p> <p>...where "path/to/omeka" is the location on your server where you've uploaded Omeka.</p> <p>Hope this helps! </p> http://omeka.org/forums/topic/viewing-moving-images#post-134 Sun, 10 Feb 2008 21:59:08 +0000 JeremyBoggs 134@http://omeka.org/forums/ <p>Hi Patrick,</p> <p>There's a function in Omeka called display_files() that should play the movie file associated with an item. In your template, wherever <code>$item</code> is used, you can add this:</p> <p><code>&lt;?php display_files($item-&gt;Files); ?&gt;</code></p> <p>The <code>display_files()</code> function will create a download link if the file is anything except an image, movie, or audio file. If you'd prefer to make a download file for each file associated with your item, you can loop through your item's files and provide a download link using this code:</p> <p><code>&lt;?php foreach ($item-&gt;Files as $file) {</code><br /> <code>echo &#39;&lt;a href=&quot;&#39;. file_download_uri($file). &#39;&quot; class=&quot;download-file&quot;&gt;&#39;. $file-&gt;original_filename. &#39;&lt;/a&gt;&#39;;</code><br /> <code>} ?&gt;</code></p> <p>Hope this helps! </p> http://omeka.org/forums/topic/zoomify#post-133 Sun, 10 Feb 2008 21:50:15 +0000 JeremyBoggs 133@http://omeka.org/forums/ <blockquote><p>We've developed some images that viewers can zoom into and explore for our project.

Each time, the server was not accessible to <a href="http://ftp." rel="nofollow">ftp.</a> With Bluehost, there was a phone number to call and very good telephone support. With Dreamhost, there is no support telephone number and you are left to leave a message online which they reply to at their leisure. They send an email back. There is no dialog to diagnose the problem. It looked like there was online chat support but that wasn't available. Because we set up a meeting each time, this has put us back about a month. Bluehost had far better support and a better interface. I'm sure we will be able to work out the problem. </p> <p>Margie </p> http://omeka.org/forums/topic/editing-about-page#post-131 Sun, 10 Feb 2008 14:20:59 +0000 gharp 131@http://omeka.org/forums/ <p>I hope this is just a simple oversight on my part, but I'm having difficulty finding out how to edit the 'about' section for the site ("This is an example of an about page.

Omeka requires PHP 5.2.x in order to run properly. The error that you see comes from an obscure bug for a section of code that works completely in PHP versions &gt; 5.2 but fails in lower versions. I would advise upgrading to PHP 5.2 (I think the newest version is 5.2.4 or 5.2.5) because we won't be able to support older versions. </p> <p>My hunch is that the error you were having with adding images is also related to this.</p> <p>-Kris </p> http://omeka.org/forums/topic/search-leads-to-403-error#post-120 Mon, 28 Jan 2008 19:29:14 +0000 DaveLester 120@http://omeka.org/forums/ <p>Thanks, Trevor. </p> http://omeka.org/forums/topic/fatal-error-thrown-when-trying-to-add-image#post-119 Mon, 28 Jan 2008 16:34:12 +0000 trevorjames 119@http://omeka.org/forums/ <p>MySQL version: 5.0.37</p> <p>PHP: 5.1.6</p> <p>-Trevor </p> http://omeka.org/forums/topic/tags-error#post-118 Mon, 28 Jan 2008 16:33:04 +0000 trevorjames 118@http://omeka.org/forums/ <p>MySQL version: 5.0.37-standard-log</p> <p>PHP version: 5.1.6</p> <p>-Trevor </p> http://omeka.org/forums/topic/tags-error#post-117 Mon, 28 Jan 2008 16:32:04 +0000 trevorjames 117@http://omeka.org/forums/ <p>Here you go, let me know if you need more ... the error runs long on the page:</p> <p>An error occurred within the following SQL statement: Object id #188 Stack Trace: #0 /home/variantc/public_html/omeka/application/libraries/Zend/Db/Statement.php(109): Zend_Db_Statement_Mysqli-&gt;_prepare('Object id #188') #1 /home/variantc/public_html/omeka/application/libraries/Zend/Db/Adapter/Mysqli.php(284): Zend_Db_Statement-&gt;__construct(Object(Zend_Db_Adapter_Mysqli), 'Object id #188') #2 /home/variantc/public_html/omeka/application/libraries/Zend/Db/Adapter/Abstract.php(261): Zend_Db_Adapter_Mysqli-&gt;prepare('Object id #188') #3 /home/variantc/public_html/omeka/application/libraries/Omeka/Db.php(251): Zend_Db_Adapter_Abstract-&gt;query('Object id #188', Array) #4 /home/variantc/public_html/omeka/application/libraries/Omeka/Db.php(271): Omeka_Db-&gt;query('Object id #188', Array) #5 /home/variantc/public_html/omeka/application/models/TagTable.php(135): Omeka_Db-&gt;fetchOne('Object id #188') #6 /home/variantc/public_html/omeka/application/controllers/TagsController.php(125): TagTable-&gt;findBy(Array, 'Item', true) #7 /home/variantc/public_html/omeka/application/helpers/Functions.php(939): TagsController-&gt;browseAction() #8 /home/variantc/public_html/omeka/application/helpers/Functions.php(875): _make_omeka_request('Tags', 'browse', Array, 'tags') #9 /home/variantc/public_html/omeka/application/helpers/Functions.php(793): _get_recordset(Array, 'tags') #10 /home/variantc/public_html/omeka/application/helpers/Functions.php(759): tags(Array) #11 /home/variantc/public_html/omeka/themes/minimalist/index.php(47): recent_tags() #12 /home/variantc/public_html/omeka/application/libraries/Omeka/View.php(109): include('/home/variantc/...') #13 /home/variantc/public_html/omeka/application/libraries/Zend/View/Abstract.php(768): Omeka_View-&gt;_run() #14 /home/variantc/public_html/omeka/application/libraries/Omeka/View/Format/Xhtml.php(66): Zend_View_Abstract-&gt;render('/home/variantc/...') #15 /home/variantc/public_html/omeka/application/libraries/Omeka/View/Format/Abstract.php(155): Omeka_View_Format_Xhtml-&gt;_render('index.php') #16 /home/variantc/public_html/omeka/application/libraries/Omeka/View.php(140): Omeka_View_Format_Abstract-&gt;render() #17 /home/variantc/public_html/omeka/application/libraries/Omeka/Controller/Action.php(552): Omeka_View-&gt;renderFormat() #18 /home/variantc/public_html/omeka/application/controllers/IndexController.php(42): Omeka_Controller_Action-&gt;render('xhtml', 'index.php') #19 /home/variantc/public_html/omeka/application/libraries/Zend/Controller/Action.php(497): IndexController-&gt;homeAction('index.php') #20 /home/variantc/public_html/omeka/application/libraries/Zend/Controller/Dispatcher/Standard.php(237): Zend_Controller_Action-&gt;dispatch() #21 /home/variantc/public_html/omeka/application/libraries/Zend/Controller/Front.php(911): Zend_Controller_Dispatcher_Standard-&gt;dispatch('homeAction') #22 /home/variantc/public_html/omeka/application/core/dispatch.php(2): </p> http://omeka.org/forums/topic/search-leads-to-403-error#post-116 Mon, 28 Jan 2008 16:27:15 +0000 trevorjames 116@http://omeka.org/forums/ <p>Let me just tweak my previous post - </p> <p>just add back the &lt;div id="searchwrap"&gt;&lt;/div&gt; to surround the PHP code and the search box should stay in the top right corner.</p> <p>-Trevor </p> http://omeka.org/forums/topic/search-leads-to-403-error#post-115 Mon, 28 Jan 2008 16:25:23 +0000 trevorjames 115@http://omeka.org/forums/ <p>Excellent!

Back when we initially designed the themes, the search mechanism wasn't working properly, so we were putting boilerplate code in where the search bar should be.
