Compatible with Omeka's Image Annotation plugin? #6

Closed mackenziekbrooks closed 6 years ago

mackenziekbrooks commented 6 years ago

I'm working with a class that would like to use the image annotation plugin within Curatescape. While I know that traditional Omeka exhibits aren't really part of the Curatescape architecture, I am able to use the plugin in the dashboard. However, in the public view, the annotations don't show up. It seems like the image annotation css/js aren't getting added to the page, though the html does contain the annotations. Example. Is there a way to get Curatescape to stop ignoring this plugin? Thanks!

Hi @mackenziekbrooks,

The Curatescape theme is designed for a specific use case and is not compatible with some types of Omeka plugins by design.

By the way, it appears you're using an old version of the theme. Updating to the most recent version is recommended. It won't fix your specific issue but it does address a lot of old bugs, etc.

Also, you may encounter issues when running Omeka in a subdirectory (i.e mackenziekbrooks.info/curatescapedemo), so I'd also recommend switching to a dedicated domain or subdomain (e.g. curatescapedemo.mackenziekbrooks.info).

Making these two changes may actually help solve your problem (though you might still need to do some debugging to figure out what isn't loading as expected).

Cheers -- Erin

Thanks for the quick reply. I've tried the plugin in a fresh install/subdomain and it doesn't work there either so I'll continue debugging.
