Contribute (module for Omeka S)

===============================



> __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.



Installation

------------



### Module



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).



* From the zip



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.



* From the source and for development



If the module was installed from the source, rename the name of the folder of

the module to `Contribute`.



### Upgrade from module Correction



The upgrade from the module Correction was removed in version 3.4.24. If needed,

install version 3.4.23 then upgrade the module.



Usage

-----



To be contributed or completed, a resource must have a template and be allowed

in the main settings.



- Configure the main settings, in particular the contribution mode.

- Configure the resource templates to select the properties to be edited or

  filled. Note: If a property has no value, it can't be edited, even if the

  property is marked editable. To allow to add a value, choose "fillable". To

  allow only one value, set the maximum number of values to 1.

- To allow to contribute a file, you should define a template for files and set

  it in the parameters of the main template.

- If the contribute mode requires token:

  - Create one or more tokens for the resources you want to edit via the link in

    the sidebar of a resource or the bulk process dropdown at the top of the

    resource browse pages.

  - Send emails to your users with the tokens, so they can edit or complete

    metadata of the resources.

- Else a link is displayed on the item page if enabled in the theme or via the

  module Blocks Disposition.

- After submission, the admin can go to the resource page of the edited items

  and apply changes, or decline them. A page lists all contributions too.

  Contribution can be marked as reviewed and token can be made expired.



TODO

----



- [x] Reintegrate features for corrections in version 3.3.0.18+.

- [ ] Store the site in the contribution.

- [ ] Store the ip and some data to check anonymous contribution (see module Contact Us).

- [x] Make the token optional (allow anybody to edit; review all rights).

- [ ] Manage the fillable fields with a language, so it will simplify validation of translation (use advanced resource template).

- [ ] Finalize value resources.

- [ ] Finalize select for resources (dynamic api query via chosen-select).

- [x] Create an admin browse page with all contributes.

- [ ] Remove the fallback contribution settings to simplify config and move all settings to advanced resource template.

- [ ] Check process when the resource template is updated (required, max values, editable, fillable…).

- [ ] Remove requirement for Advanced Resource Template: only list of editable and fillable properties may be needed (or make them all editable/fillable).

- [ ] Remove the "@" in internal proposition values.

- [ ] Add the elements via the form, not only via view.

- [ ] Add resource via token (only edition currently).

- [ ] Clarify add/edition resource for correction.

- [ ] Dynamic select for resource (without custom vocab).

- [ ] Add pagination in guest contribution list.

- [ ] Require only on submit for new contribution?

- [ ] Improve lang management.

- [ ] Allow to create subresource in the main form (author). Require check.

- [ ] Manage value annotations.

- [ ] Include all fields as form elements (included laminas collections of elements).

- [ ] Allow to edit item and media together.
