embedded in drupal

I really wanted to implement omeka as a resource within the durpal-based Leonardo Education Forum site in order to keep our somewhat skittish users in one place and so that discussion forums could concentrate on the exhibits without having to go elsewhere.

Luckily I found a hack until there's an api :) that allows seamless integration.

Basically you start by creating a page that you want to embed your omeka pages into and name it something like 'exhibits'.

Then you can create a block with the code to embed.

I used an iframe:

‛<iframe
src="http://semeiotic.com/omeka"
height="350"
width="350"
frameborder=0>
</iframe>‛

You can also use some php code:

‛<?php
ob_start();
include_once "http://www.semeiotic.com/omeka";
$output = ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();
return $output;
?>‛

...but it overrides drupal's style sheet so the effect is not-so-good.

Once the block is saved, configure it to show only on the page you made as 'content'.

Voila! That should be it.

see here: http://artsci.ucla.edu/LEF/exhibits

You could embed the code directly into the first page you made, but it sent me away from the site to the link. I'm aiming to mask the omeka host with the drupal site.

**note this is only tested in firefox on macOSX

I would like to know if Omeka will work inside of drupal as well. I am in the initial phase of designing a museum website in drupal and this would be a great add-on for exhibitions and collections.

Hi Bryan,

I'm interested in your thoughts regarding this potential integration between Omeka and Drupal. What exactly are you looking for?

Omeka is an entire web publishing system, so it can't ever become a drupal module, however it's possible that we could explore ways of interfacing with Drupal to make it easier for both systems to co-exist on one server, and more importantly -- create a seamless experience experience to the user.

In your potential drupal installation, are items & associated files solely in Omeka, and the website run by drupal? I can imagine this being a much easier implementation than trying to handle items in both.

Best,
Dave
