Honor Thy Librarians

Description

Creates public page to give credit to people who have added or edited Items.

The page will list all librarians, with count of Items contributed and last contribution date. The page can be customized with messages before and after the table.

Starting from version 1.1 a shortcode is available to embed the table in any page (f.i., one created with Simple Pages plugin). The syntax to use is [librarians_table arg1='value'], where value is the sort order, and can be "name", "count" or "date"; "name" will be used if no value is passed.

Installation

Uncompress files and rename plugin folder "HonorThyLibrarians".

Then install it like any other Omeka plugin.

Warning

Use it at your own risk.

It’s always recommended to backup your files and your databases and to check your archives regularly so you can roll back if needed.

Troubleshooting
