Creative Commons Chooser (plugin for Omeka)

Creative Commons Chooser is a plugin for the Omeka platform that adds a Creative Commons License Chooser to the admin interface and extends Omeka items to be associated with individual CC licenses.

Installation

Unzip Creative Commons Chooser into the plugin directory, rename the folder "CreativeCommonsChooser" if needed, then install it from the settings panel.

The selected license for an item is automatically appended to items/show pages and it can be themed.

A helper (ccWidget()) and a shortcode are available too, if needed. The shortcode should be written like this:

• Short for the current item: [cc]
• Long for any item: [cc item_id=1]
• Long for any item, with display option (can be "image" (default), "text" or "both") and title option ("true" or "false" (default)): [cc item_id=1 display=text title=false]

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 the plugin issues page on GitHub.
