Simple Vocab Plus (plugin for Omeka)

This Omeka 2.1+ plugin allows administrators to create, edit and update controlled vocabularies, either defined in the repository itself or in the cloud.

Version 3.1.2 offers new functions and extends the scope of the original plugin.

New functions:

• chance to use the values already stored in the repository for the same element as suggestions;
• chance to use values from multiple fields as suggestions;
• chance to check the values stored for a specific element;
• chance to force the use of a list of values (similar to the dropdown feature of the Simple Vocab original plugin).

Scope extended:

• option to enable plugin functionality for Collections too;
• option to enable plugin functionality for Exhibits too (if relative plugin is installed and working).

If you use this plugin, please take a moment to submit feedback about your experience, so we can keep making Omeka better: User Survey.

Installation

Uncompress files and rename plugin folder "SimpleVocabPlus".

Then install it like any other Omeka plugin.

Configuration

The brand new configuration panel allows to extend the plugin's functionality to files, collections and exhibits metadata, and to highlight the fields that are using the autosuggest feature.

Warning

Use it at your own risk.

It's always recommended to backup your files and database regularly so you can roll back if needed.

Troubleshooting

See online issues on the plugin issues page on GitHub.

simplevocabplus's Issues

error sql when updating

Hi,

I tried to update SimpleVocabPlus from 2.4 to 3.1.1.
Omeka Classic 3.0.1 (reclaimhosting.com)

I desactivate the 2.4 plugin and rename it in "_old"
Upload the 3.1.1 and rename it
I am invited to update it and then I get the following error :

`Zend_Db_Statement_Mysqli_Exception
Mysqli statement execute error : Duplicate column name 'type'

[Feature Request] Could Simple Vocab Plus read a vocabulary served by TemaTres?

I'm using an adapted LCSuggest plugin (with my vocab server hardcoded on a PHP array) to get terms from a TemaTres served vocabulary and I wish I could use SImple Vocab Plus, so other people could add vocabularies from TemaTres servers on Simple Vocab Plus nice admin interface.

Error when editing URL for existing Vocab

Show Full Name of Item Type Metadata

When viewing current assignments it would be good to specify the item type when an element is assigned to Item Type Metadata. (Eg. "Item Type Metadata: Document" rather than just "Item Type Metadata".)

Error message when attempting to create vocabulary

I successfully installed Simple Vocab Plus and am looking forward to using it. Yet when I attempt to create a new vocabulary, I get an error message from Omeka, disallowing me from creating the vocabulary. Is this a known issue? Any advice?

Installation failed

Hi,,
i tried to install both version of Simple Vocab Plus, but the plugin does not function propoerly (blank page)

The error log reports :

[Mon Mar 23 17:32:21 2015] [error] [client IP] PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '[' in /[WebFolder/omeka/plugins/SimpleVocabPlus/controllers/IndexController.php on line 106, referer: http://omeka.inha.fr/admin/plugins

I do not see anything wrong in ths statement

        $authorityVocabulary = $svpVocabTable->find($svSuggest->vocab_id)['name'];

Best regards,

Gautier

Unassign?

Like GettySuggest issue: would be good to be able to unassign an element from a vocabulary.

Indicate assignment

Can we indicate that a given metadata field has been assigned to a Simple Vocab Plus vocabulary? (Like we do for Getty Suggest.)

Could Simple Vocab Plus read the entries already present in Omeka's repository?

Hi.
Many times, errors while entering new data is just a matter of spelling.
Would there be a way to use Simple Vocab Plus, as an option, to read the data already present for a specific field (say, Publisher, or Creator) and use them for the autocomplete function? This way, if for instance "Doe, John" was already present in the repository, when user starts typing "Do" they would see "Doe, John" among the available suggestions.
Thanks for your work.
