CSU Library Website Customization
Images on Omeka Server
1. Images can be added via Omeka built-in function
Images on Omeka are added via Admin Interface -> Item -> Add an Item.
After an item is added, you can add it to an exhibit page. You can NOT use any of these images' urls for other pages. Images added via Omeka's built-in functions are fine but they are not reusable. Annoying and not user friendly.
For example, Stories is an exhibit, Old Beginnings, On Exhibit... are pages under Stories exhibit. You can add items to pages but not the Stories. Images in Omeka don't have permanent URL and links expires after a while.
Comment from Omeka tech support: all links expire due to our S3 setup. There are no permanent links to files.
e.g.
2. Images Added Via Short Code
Only simple pages can reuse images from Omeka server via short code. Short Code Tutorial
Simple Pages on this site are Share Your Memories, Share Your Ideas, and About. Only share your memories and share your ideas uses short code for two icons. NEH icon on About page is from NEH site.
Short Code used
on Share Your Memories
Directly add code to the page, not source code.
[file id=208 size=thumbnail link_file=0]
link_file=0 to remove links. If it is not set to 0, the icon will link to the file itself.
Find file id: click an item, you will see item ID first. This is not the file ID.
Click the image one more time to access File ID. 208 is the number you use for [File ID]
3. Header Image
The header image is actually a background image. It is added via configure theme page. The image dimension is 3840x192 px. I tested many dimensions, this one works best for most screens including 5k monitor.
