I get the dialog box for contributing an item, fill it out, select the file to add, and agree to the consent form. Then, I get a message that says "oops sorry, this page does not exist. Check your url or send us a note." I receive an email as the administrator indicating that a contribution was made, with a url. When I select the url, I get a 403 error. Any tips on what to troubleshoot?

It has worked for us in the past, but it seems like installation of the plugin is generally broken now. I've taken it down from the downloads page until further notice. Unfortunately, we don't have any plans to fix the plugin for the 0.9.x release branch of Omeka, but we're looking into solutions for multiple language metadata for the upcoming 0.10 release. Hope that helps.

In the meantime, Tom's right in mentioning that colleagues from another university have been developing a flash player plugin for that works with the 0.9 release. It's on the way. If you're interested in developing other plugins, particularly simple ones that control the display of files, I'd be more than happy to discuss development possibilities on the Google Group (http://groups.google.com/group/omeka-dev/) or by setting up a phone conversation.

The FLV file on the other hand will require a plugin that isn't currently on our docket. I guess the short answer would be to convert the videos to MOV files for now, especially in the case of your FLV files. jan on "omeka and Video playback" http://omeka.org/forums/topic/omeka-and-video-playback#post-659 Tue, 30 Sep 2008 15:32:34 +0000 jan 659@http://omeka.org/forums/ Hi, i'am using omeka 0,92 mpg1 and flv files don't play back. sorensen 3 qt mov works fine. it would be great to have flash function in further versions. maybe something like this plugin <a href="http://alexrabe.boelinger.com/wordpress-plugins/wordtube/" rel="nofollow">http://alexrabe.boelinger.com/wordpress-plugins/wordtube/</a> grüße jan kalbers on "omeka and Video playback" http://omeka.org/forums/topic/omeka-and-video-playback#post-658 Tue, 30 Sep 2008 14:38:35 +0000 kalbers 658@http://omeka.org/forums/ OK-two questions: 1) Which version of Omeka are you using? 2) What file types are you trying to view?

Before this can be written we need to finalize the new Omeka data model and plugin API. Expect a public release (v0.10) in a month or two. Though, for the moment, our priority is migration into Omeka, so I would expect a data harvester before a data provider is available.

Try commenting out lines 75-81 in your plugin.php file in the plugin, which should be the install() function. Then re-install the plugin and let me know if that works.

Then when you have log.errors = true that should work. Also, the easiest way to see the text of the errors is to make sure you have display_errors set to 1 in your .htaccess file, and debug.errors = true in your config.ini file. That should cause the errors to print directly to the screen. When you get an error message from that, let us know and we'll see if we can figure out what's going on. Thanks. waqasmalik on "Installing Bilingual Plugin" http://omeka.org/forums/topic/installing-bilingual-plugin#post-619 Tue, 09 Sep 2008 19:50:27 +0000 waqasmalik 619@http://omeka.org/forums/ I have a problem installing the Bilingual plugin so I decided to enable my error log file for better understanding of the problem. I searched the omeka help and found out how to enable error log file and I did follow it correctly but it still shows me this message: "Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'Exception' with message 'Error log file cannot be written to. Please give this file read/write permissions for the web server.' in /var/www/omeka-0.9.2/application/libraries/Omeka/Logger.php:36 Stack trace: #0 /var/www/omeka-0.9.2/application/libraries/Omeka/Core.php(224): Omeka_Logger->setErrorLog('/var/www/omeka-...') #1 /var/www/omeka-0.9.2/application/libraries/Omeka/Core.php(65): Omeka_Core->initializeDefaultLogger() #2 /var/www/omeka-0.9.2/index.php(12): Omeka_Core->initialize() #3 {main} thrown in /var/www/omeka-0.9.2/application/libraries/Omeka/Logger.php on line 36" I checked both the files logger and core to make sure that the error logging value is set to true and it is. Then I realized the the error log filename is coded incorrectly in the "config.ini". Below is what I got from config.ini file Log SQL statements log.sql = false Log errors (to be implemented) log.errors = true where as in the /application/logs folder I have these files: -rwxrwxrwx 1 wriaz wriaz 0 2007-03-29 16:00 errors.log.empty -rw-rw-rw- 1 wriaz wriaz 0 2007-03-29 16:00 sql.log.empty so if you simply replace this line "log.errors = true" with "errors.log = true" it will work fine. Now coming back to my original problem I tried to install Bilingual plugin again and it errors out again as I am expecting but It still didn't write anything in my error log file. The error log file still empty. Can somebody help me out with this. Thanks KrisKelly on "create PDF thumbnails using ImageMagick?

Currently we have no plans to add that as a feature in Omeka, but we also didn't know that was possible, so thanks for the heads up. There are at least 2 ways that I can think of to make a plugin that would interact with PDFs uploaded through Omeka. You could either hook in to the file upload process to create a thumbnail or image (the 'after_file_upload' hook), or you could write a template helper that would use a 3rd-party web app to display the PDF in your Omeka theme. Feel free to let us know if you decide to embark on one or another of these plugins. We recommend that you post to the dev list for help with development, as these forums are more geared towards support for existing software.

We are rethinking how that works, but unfortunately that is the default for now. The order you add files to an item is the order in which they are displayed. So, if you want page 1 to appear first you add it first, and so on. Another option to ensure that the PDF's appear in order is to merge them into one file and then add the iPaper plugin. At the item level, it allows your visitors to flip through the pages of the PDF like a book. It has zoom capability and is generally handy for viewing documents. If you haven't already, check out the information we have posted in the "How To" section: <a href="http://omeka.org/codex/IPaper_plugin." rel="nofollow">http://omeka.org/codex/IPaper_plugin.</a> Sheila katharinebeutner on "Change file order for uploaded files?" http://omeka.org/forums/topic/change-file-order-for-uploaded-files#post-572 Wed, 06 Aug 2008 02:38:08 +0000 katharinebeutner 572@http://omeka.org/forums/ We're hoping to use Omeka for online exhibitions that will include items featuring multi-page PDF scans of manuscripts. I've figured out how to use the Dropbox to associate multiple files with items easily, but the files seem to be assigned identifiers randomly (rather than, say, in order according to filename) and they therefore display out of numerical order, too. We would really like to be able to display ms. pages in order, so they can be read easily. Is there a way to change the identifiers or sort by filename? Thank you! DaveLester on "Sitenotes" http://omeka.org/forums/topic/sitenotes#post-569 Tue, 05 Aug 2008 16:28:03 +0000 DaveLester 569@http://omeka.org/forums/ There's currently no setting to control what user roles can edit Sitenotes -- you're right that by default this is super users, and that's hardcoded into the plugin. If you dig into the code of the sitenotes plugin, edit the index.php file locating within /admin/sitenotes/. On line six, edit the current code <code><?php if(has_permission('super')): ?></code> to grant permission for admin users, replacing it with <code><?php if(has_permission('super') || has_permission('admin')): ?></code>. This is just a fix for how it currently works, but you should be all set. A future version of the plugin should actually use the ACL to control user permissions, but this first release was meant to be a simple solution. Let me know if this works out for you. barbc on "Sitenotes" http://omeka.org/forums/topic/sitenotes#post-567 Mon, 04 Aug 2008 20:03:41 +0000 barbc 567@http://omeka.org/forums/ How does one get Sitenotes to be editable amongst Admins?

Do you know how to use SVN? If so, could you check out the latest version of the plugin (on the command line, you would do: <code>svn co <a href="https://omeka.org/svn/plugins/Geolocation/trunk" rel="nofollow">https://omeka.org/svn/plugins/Geolocation/trunk</a> Geolocation</code> inside of your plugins/ directory) and see if it's still broken on your installation? I seem to recall that we fixed a bunch of stuff in subversion a while ago, but it must not have made it into the zipped release. I'll probably just put up a zipped file of the latest code, but I'd like to figure out whether yours is a new bug if possible before that. Let me know if that helps or is too much to handle. Thanks!
