New versions of this module and support for Omeka S version 3.0 and above are available on GitLab, which seems to respect users and privacy better than the previous repository.
Contribute is a module for Omeka S that allows visitors to add, edit, complete or translate metadata of the resources without access to the admin board.
Access to the contribute and to the edit page may be controlled by a token, that you can send to your users, or to users only (in particular guest users), or to anybody.
The two main differences with module Collecting is the fact that this module uses standard resource templates, so you don't need to create specific forms, and the possibility to complete or to revise an existing document.
See general end user documentation for installing a module.
The module Common must be installed first.
The module uses the module Advanced Resource Template in order to manage the forms and the properties that the users can edit or fill, so it should be installed first.
If you want to open contribution only to authenticated users, it is recommended to install the module Guest and Blocks Disposition (unless you edit theme).
Download the last release Contribute.zip from the list of releases (the
master does not contain the dependency), and uncompress it in the modules
directory.
If the module was installed from the source, rename the name of the folder of
the module to Contribute.
The upgrade from the module Correction was removed in version 3.4.24. If needed, install version 3.4.23 then upgrade the module.
To be contributed or completed, a resource must have a template and be allowed in the main settings.
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.
See online issues on the module issues page on GitLab.
