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.
Mirador Viewer is a module for Omeka S that integrates Mirador, an advanced online viewer for images (version 2), audio and video (version 3), so it can display books, images, maps, etc. via the IIIF standard. Common plugins are included.
Mirador is an open-source, web based, multi-window image viewing platform with the ability to zoom, display, compare and annotate images from around the world. It's configurable and fully extensible via plugins. The version 2.7 and 3.0 are available.
It uses the resources of any IIIF compliant server. The full specification of the "International Image Interoperability Framework" standard is supported (level 2). If you don’t have an IIIF-compatible image server, like Cantaloupe or IIP Image server, Omeka S can be one! Just install the modules IIIF Server and Image Server.
It’s an alternative to the Universal Viewer or the lighter Diva Viewer.
For an example, see Corpus du Louvre.
See general end user documentation for installing a module.
First, if wanted, install the two optional modules Generic and Blocks Disposition.
The module uses multiple external js library, Mirador itself and its plugins, in version 2.7 or 3, so use the release zip to install it, or use and init the source.
There are three versions of Mirador: vanilla Mirador, Mirador with common plugins, Mirador with all plugins. The choice is transparent inside Omeka and the appropriate bundle is included according to the selected plugins in main settings or in site settings.
Download the last release Mirador.zip from the list of releases (the master
does not contain the dependency), and uncompress it in the modules directory.
From the source and for development:
If the module was installed from the source, rename the name of the folder of
the module to Mirador, and go to the root module.
Because compiling old Mirador versions with unmaintained but stable plugins is more complex with the time, the libraries for Mirador are provided through a zip since version 3.4.9.
composer install --no-devCompilation of mirador 3
This explanation for Mirador 3 is useful only if you want to compile Mirador yourself.
Mirador 3 is based on react, a js framework managed by facebook, so a complex install is required to manage it and plugins should be compiled and minified with Mirador itself. Furthermore, the plugin Annotations is heavy, but may not be used.
So, to simplify installation of Mirador 3 and plugins and to keep it as small as possible, Mirador is managed as a separate repository Mirador integration Omeka.
Development of a specific version of Mirador 3 requires npm. If you want to remove plugins or to include new plugins from the bundle, update the files vendor/projectmirador/mirador-integration/package.json and vendor/projectmirador/mirador-integration/src/index.js. See more information in the included package. You may have to fork the repository and to set it in package.json. The file gulpfile.js inside the present module is used only as a shortcut to it.
# Install mirador-integration with composer, including dev.
composer install
# Compile the three versions of Mirador 3, minify and copy them in asset/vendor/mirador.
# gulp/gulp-cli can be used too.
# It will takes somes minutes.
npm install
# if gulp is not installed, run first `npm install gulp`
npx gulpIf it doesn't work, clone the repository Mirador-integration-Omeka somewhere, follow its readme, then copy build files inside "asset/vendor/mirador".
Mirador is based on IIIF, so the images should be available through an image server compliant with this protocol. So for you own images, you need either Cantaloupe or IIP Image or the module Image Server.
With Image Server, if you need to display big images (bigger than 1 to 10 MB according to your server, your network, and your users), you need to create tiles. The tiling means that big images like maps and deep paintings, and any other images, are converted into tiles in order to load and zoom them instantly.
The url of the manifest of the items should be set inside the property specified in the config form of the module. If you don’t have an IIIF Server, install the module IIIF Server.
The other ones can be set differently for each site:
view/common/helper/mirador.phtml in
your theme and customize it;asset/vendor/mirador).The parameters used to config the viewer can be found in the wiki, in the details of the api and in the examples of the tutorial.
The following placeholders can be used (without quote or double quotes):
__manifestUri__: first manifest uri (or collection uri),__canvasID__, first canvas uri of the manifest.For example, this params can be set to display an item in Zen mode:
{
"mainMenuSettings": {
"show": false
},
"windowObjects": [
{
"loadedManifest": __manifestUri__,
"canvasID": __canvasID__,
"viewType": "ImageView",
"displayLayout": false,
"bottomPanel": false,
"sidePanel": false,
"annotationLayer": false,
"canvasControls": {
"annotations": false,
"imageManipulation": {
"manipulationLayer": false
}
}
}
]
}This config is for item, not for collection. This example is for the site
setting because it uses placeholders, so it should be adapted if used in theme
in order to take the default parameters in account. The keys id and data are
automatically filled, but may be overridden too.
See below for a fix to get the list of images in fullscreen.
The parameters used to config the viewer can be found in in the recipes and in the details of the file settings.js.
Warning: The config should be json, not js, so use double quotes, remove comments and trailing comma, etc. Check your json on a site such jsonformatter.org.
For example, this params can be set to display an item in Zen mode, in French, with upper menu bar:
{
"language": "fr",
"window": {
"allowClose": false,
"allowFullscreen": true,
"allowMaximize": false,
"allowTopMenuButton": true,
"allowWindowSideBar": true,
"sideBarPanel": "info",
"defaultSideBarPanel": "attribution",
"sideBarOpenByDefault": false,
"defaultView": "single",
"forceDrawAnnotations": false,
"hideWindowTitle": true,
"highlightAllAnnotations": false,
"showLocalePicker": true,
"sideBarOpen": false,
"switchCanvasOnSearch": true,
"panels": {
"info": true,
"attribution": true,
"canvas": true,
"annotations": true,
"search": true,
"layers": true
}
},
"thumbnailNavigation": {
"defaultPosition": "off",
"displaySettings": true
},
"workspace": {
"showZoomControls": true,
"type": "mosaic",
"allowNewWindows": false,
"isWorkspaceAddVisible": false
},
"workspaceControlPanel": {
"enabled": false
}
}If the IIIF Server is installed, all resources of Omeka S are automatically available by the viewer, else the url of the manifest should be set in the configured property.
The viewer is always available at http://www.example.com/item-set/{item-set id}/mirador
and http://www.example.com/item/{item id}/mirador. Furthermore, it is
automatically embedded in "item-set/{id}" and "item/{id}" show and/or browse
pages. This can be disabled via the module Blocks Disposition for each site.
Finally, a block layout is available to add the viewer in any standard page.
To embed Mirador somewhere else, just use the helper:
// Display the viewer with the specified item set.
echo $this->mirador($itemSet);
// Display the viewer with the specified item and specified options.
// The options for Mirador are directly passed to the partial, so they are
// available in the theme and set for the viewer.
echo $this->mirador($item, $options);
// Display multiple resources (items and/or item sets).
echo $this->mirador($resources);Plugins add small features to the Mirador viewer.
Some plugins require json options to work. Some plugins may not work with the integrated version of Mirador. Cross compatibility and options has not been checked, so add them one by one and only the needed ones.
To add and manage a new plugin automatically, fill the file data/plugins/plugins.php
and the file view/common/helper/mirador-plugins.phtml and the respective ones
for Mirador v2, data/plugins/plugins-mirador-2.php and view/common/helper/mirador-2-plugins.phtml.
https site for security),
and Annotot (requires its endpoint).This fix is needed only for Mirador 2.
The standard Mirador doesn’t allow to have the bottom sidebar (list of images) in fullscreen, so it’s hard to browse. It’s not a bug, it’s a feature. To fix it without patching and recompilation, just run this replacement command from the root of the module:
rpl 'toggleFullScreen:function(){OpenSeadragon.isFullScreen()?(this.element.find(".mirador-osd-fullscreen i").removeClass("fa-expand").addClass("fa-compress"),this.element.find(".mirador-osd-toggle-bottom-panel").hide(),this.eventEmitter.publish("SET_BOTTOM_PANEL_VISIBILITY."+this.id,!1)):(this.element.find(".mirador-osd-fullscreen i").removeClass("fa-compress").addClass("fa-expand"),this.element.find(".mirador-osd-toggle-bottom-panel").show(),this.eventEmitter.publish("SET_BOTTOM_PANEL_VISIBILITY."+this.id,!0))},' 'toggleFullScreen:function(){OpenSeadragon.isFullScreen()?(this.element.find(".mirador-osd-fullscreen i").removeClass("fa-expand").addClass("fa-compress")/*,this.element.find(".mirador-osd-toggle-bottom-panel").hide(),this.eventEmitter.publish("SET_BOTTOM_PANEL_VISIBILITY."+this.id,!1)*/):(this.element.find(".mirador-osd-fullscreen i").removeClass("fa-compress").addClass("fa-expand")/*,this.element.find(".mirador-osd-toggle-bottom-panel").show(),this.eventEmitter.publish("SET_BOTTOM_PANEL_VISIBILITY."+this.id,!0)*/)},' asset/vendor/mirador/mirador.min.jsIf wanted, you can fix this feature in the Mirador 2.7.0 source file too: comment lines 42779, 42780, 42783, and 42784.
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.
