The steps that recreate the error: 1. Click Add Exhibit 2. Complete form leaving the default Exhibit is featured: to No. 3. Click either Save Changes or Add Section. The exhibit can only be added if Exhibit is Featured is set to Yes. Tested editing the Exhibit and the error continues to happen when ever I try to flip the feature to no.

You can add as many as you like during an initial add or during an edit session using admin/items/edit. However when you open up an item for re-editing using the edit mechanism any tags that you've entered beyond ten disappear when you save your changes, even if they are unrelated to the tags you've given an item. Also the public interface won't display any more than ten tags for an item when you look at a record in the individual item view.

We're not sure why you have to do this, though. In any case, we'll probably add this or a similar helper to a future version of the Exhibit Builder plugin.

Are you talking about the tags panel in the admin/items/edit page for an item, or the admin/items/show page, with the tags panel in the sidebar? And, are you using the latest stable 0.10 release of Omeka, or 0.10 beta?

I could add more than ten in admin/items/edit page for an item, but not the panel for tags on the admin/items/show page for an item, which is really odd. We'll have to add a ticket for this bug, and will update this forum topic when we resolve it.

I just tried this with 0.10, with the ExhibitBuilder plugin activated, and it works for me. I didn't try it with 0.9, but I can do that and get back to you. And now that I think about it, if you are using 0.9, you can't use a custom.php file in your public theme...I forgot about that! You'd either have to make a new plugin with just that function, or put the function directly in your theme/items/show.php file. santheo on "Linking to Exhibit from item page" http://omeka.org/forums/topic/linking-to-exhibit-from-item-page#post-815 Tue, 30 Dec 2008 14:30:27 +0000 santheo 815@http://omeka.org/forums/ I was able to turn error reporting on.

It's close, but it's not quite working. Unfortunately, I'm not sure how to nail down exactly what the problem is, as my Apache error log is quite about it. Basically the page renders up to the point of the function call, then stops. I've commented out stuff to hone in on the offending code, and it appears to be the "->getTable("Exhibit")" command. If I take that out, the page renders, though still not properly -- it doesn't show any results. But at least it renders. When I put that phrase back it, it borks again. Not sure what to do at this point other than appeal to you for more assistance. Any ideas?

The public theme in v.10 only will display 10 tags for an item even if more than 10 are assigned. It also appears that the "edit" mechanism in admin will only accommodate up 10 tag association. Any associations beyond that number are deleted whenever you make any kind of edit to an item. Is there somewhere that this behavior can be changed to allow more tags per item?

Deleting an existing single tag while using the "tag" screen of the item creation/editing interface results in the deletion of all tags associated with an object instead of just the one selected.

If you're using 0.9, you would need to use: <code><?php echo link_to_related_exhibits($item->id); ?></code> This could be modified to link to the actual page in the exhibit where the item is used.

Here's a look at the code for inserting items that's being used in the soon-to-be-released upgrade of the dropbox plugin: <pre><code>/** * This function will be deprecated in the upcoming 1.0 release * in favor of an insert_item function added to the core **/ function insert_item($itemMetadata = array(), $elementTexts = array()) { // Insert a new Item $item = new Item; // Item Metadata $item->public = $itemMetadata['public']; $item->featured = $itemMetadata['featured']; $item->collection_id = $itemMetadata['collection_id']; foreach ($elementTexts as $elementSetName => $elements) { foreach ($elements as $elementName => $elementTexts) { $element = $item->getElementByNameAndSetName($elementName, $elementSetName); foreach ($elementTexts as $elementText) { $item->addTextForElement($element, $elementText['text'], $elementText['html']); } } } // Save Item and all of its metadata $item->save(); // Save Element Texts $item->saveElementTexts(); return $item; }</code></pre> And in a plugin's controller, you would use something similar to the following code to pass metadata to the helper function: <pre><code>$itemMetadata = array( 'public' => $_POST['public'], 'featured' => $_POST['featured'], 'collection_id' => $_POST['collection_id']); $elementTexts = array('Dublin Core' => array('Title' => array(array('text' => $originalName, 'html' => false)))); $item = dropbox_insert_item($itemMetadata, $elementTexts);</code></pre> Does that help?
