DH Press 2.6 continues to offer improvements and enhancements to this powerful WordPress plugin for Digital Humanities projects.

Administrator User Manual at: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1NQO0ObqDIp576QpC5LvQ97d9vGB1YkrgSVhJZ22oIZg/edit?usp=drive_web

New Features

  • Marker Clustering (turn on or off for each map view in Project Dashboard)
  • Markers can be shown on map views as points, lines or polygons

Enhancements

  • Base maps are now built into DH Press (no need to import a map file)
  • Overlap maps are simplified and fully support Tiling Map Server standards
  • Deleting a Project automatically deletes all associated Markers
  • Deleting a Project automatically deletes all associated Legends (WordPress taxonomies)
  • Increased compatibility with your choice of Themes
  • Names now used internally to refer to overlay maps in Project definitions prevent them from being lost when Projects are transferred as archives between web servers
  • Viewing a Project now always takes over full browser screen (not a frame inset within a post page), so there is no fullscreen or minimum size setting
  • All text visible to end user has been quarantined to script files to facilitate language translation

Bug Fixes, Upgrades and Updates

  • Removed touchscreen code from map view (which was causing crashes)
  • Minimized Global settings to a useful subset
  • Implemented the user agent setting (in Global settings)
  • Some server operations have been optimized to use less working memory
  • Some bugs in error checking have been fixed

Configuration Changes (details in Administrator’s Manual)

  • You must delete all entries in your Map Library (and empty the Trash)
  • You must reselect the base map for all of the map views in your Project
  • If you use overlay maps, you will need to update the definitions, re-import them and re-select them in the map views (an updated version of the Carolina Digital Library and Archives file is available)
