Creating a new basic page in an existing repository's Exhibit

1

Go to [https://collections.library.utoronto.ca/explore/admin/users/login](https://collections-beta.library.utoronto.ca/explore/admin/users/login) and login. If you do not have a login, email [email protected] Notes: - View these instructions in [full screen here](https://scribehow.com/shared/Add_and_edit_a_basic_page_for_your_collection__mGEb-jYgTAKCUGsj2ixvxQ) - Go back to the Collections U of T documentation [here](https://utlib.github.io/collections-uoft/documentation) - The /explore/ Basic Pages use Omeka Classic. Official Omeka Classic documentation can be found at <https://omeka.org/classic/docs/> - a reminder that the /explore/ Omeka instance stores your Basic Pages in Omeka "Exhibits" per repository. - The Omeka Items and Collections sections in /explore/ Omeka are **only** enabled for you to upload decorative or supplementary images to your Basic Pages. - **Do not upload digital collection items to the /explore/ Omeka's Collections and Items sections** - /explore/ is only intended to allow you to create Basic Pages about your digitized collections. - Please refer to the [Collections U of T ingest instructions](https://utlib.github.io/collections-uoft/documentation/ingest-instructions) if you would like to add a new collection into Collections U of T for your repository. - If you do not have a Collections U of T repository account then please consult the [Requesting a Repository instructions](https://utlib.github.io/collections-uoft/documentation/adding-new-collections). You cannot use the /explore/ Omeka instance if you do not have any digital collections in Collections U of T.

Once logged in, from the dashboard, click "Exhibits" to edit your repository's Basic Pages. Note: Depending on your /explore/ Omeka user role permissions, the sidebar on this page may look different to you.

3

Click "Edit" of the Exhibit you wish to edit or add a Basic Page to. Note: Clicking on the title (i.e. "Anatomia Collection" in this image) will take you to the front-end page. Always click "Edit".

4

Scroll to the bottom and click "Add Page"

5

Add the title to the "Page Title" field.

6

Click the "Menu Link Title" field and add what you would like the page to be called in the menu

7

Click the "Page Slug" field and add the slug for the new page, do not add the full URL - just enter the slug for the page. Do not enter any "/". Use underscores to separate words (not dashes). The slug for this page would be "about_example" After filling this in you can choose to build the content on your page...

8

...or save the page first by clicking "Save Changes" to create the new page.

9

After the page is saved you can go back to the Exhibit edit page and use the cross to move the page order. You can also nest pages.

For your existing Exhibits please ensure you do not move the first page in your /explore/ Exhibit page order. The first page is always your /explore/ landing page, unless the "Use Summary Page?" setting is checked off. For most /explore/ Exhibits, we do not use the summary page. This means you must keep the first page at the top of the Exhibit page list, otherwise your landing page will change to whatever page you place at the top. Always keep the first page as the first in the Exhibit page list. Avoid enabling the "Use Summary Page?" setting.

Adding a IIIF Embed

10

On the page you are editing, select "Collections U of T Embed". This is a custom embed specific to Collections U of T IIIF manifests. It will display a Mirador embed of any digital object from Collections U of T on your page.

11

Click "Add new content block"

12

Paste your chosen IIIF Manifest URL into this field

13

Remember: the IIIF Manifest can be found under "Share and Reuse" on the digital object's page.

14

Click "Copy IIIF Manifest"...

15

... and then return to your basic page to paste the copied IIIF Manifest into the "IIIF Manifest URL" field.

Thumbnail navigation is disabled in the embed by default (i.e. paging through a book). If a single image: leave the default settings.

16

If you are adding an object with multiple image, click "enabled" to enable thumbnails.
