Simple Pages Plug-in
The Simple Pages plug-in allows you to create simple
web pages for your public Omeka site using a simple
web form.
For example, an ‘About’ page.
It requires no programming knowledge, and optionally
allows you to add HTML markup, or even PHP code.
On the Simple Page - Browse page, you can view,
edit, and manage all of the pages you create.
Installation
To download Simple Pages visit the Plug-in section of the Add-On
section of Omeka: http://omeka.org/add-ons/plugins/
Upload the folder to your plug-in folder within your SSH client.
Go to Manage Plug-Ins on the main page of your Omeka admin site.
Select “install” next to Simple Pages.
Once Simple Pages is
installed in Omeka, you will
see a Simple Pages tab on
the top bar of your Omeka
admin page.
Configure Pages
Click on the Simple Pages tab from the main
admin page, and click “Add Page.”
Configure Pages
Start building the page by adding the required element
“Title.”
The rest of the form can be filled out to your preference,
utilizing these elements:
Slug
Text
Parent
Order
Add link to this page to the primary navigation?
Make this the homepage?
Publish this page?
Slug and Text Box
Adding a unique Slug name will change the name of
the URL for this specific page.
Example: myomekasite.com/about
Omeka will automatically create the Slug from the
Title Field if this is left blank.
Add any text you wish to appear on the page in the
Text box.
To format the text you have the option to use HTML
mark-up.
The Parent Field
This drop down field should be used when you want to create a
hierarchy of pages, or a nested page.
Select “Main Page (No Parent)” to link directly from the
homepage.
Select a previously created webpage to create a nested page.
Order
This field give you the option of ordering your pages.
The order of the pages is based on the other pages
under the same parent page.
Ex: 0,1,2,3,4...
Add link to this page to the
primary navigation?
Select this field if you choose to link this page to the
primary navigation that appears on every page in the
website.
It will appear along side “Browse Items,” “Browse
Collections,” etc.
Home Page Option +
Publishing Page
You can use Simple Pages to create a custom
homepage for your Omeka site.
Select the “publish this page?” option when the page
is ready to be viewed in your public Omeka site.
Final Steps
Once all of the fields are filled out, you have the
option to either “Save Page” or “Delete this Page” at
the bottom of the form.
