A WordPress plugin for managing and serving assets exported from PastPerfect Museum Software or other software that generates valid XML.
Built for the Brooklyn Historical Society by Hard G.
Features:
- Import assets from PastPerfect/valid XML formats
- Dublin Core data for each asset is stored in a way that is friendly to other WordPress plugins that expect metadata: title_collection, title_title, title_accession, identifier, type, publisher, description, date, coverage, coverage_GIS, creator, contributor, format, format_scale, format_size, rights, subject_people, subject_subject, subject_places, relation_ohms, relation_findingaid, rights_request, relation_image, relation_attachment, source, language, creator_alpha
- Assets can be read from an external server via API endpoint
Requirements:
- PHP 5.3+
- WordPress 4.4+
Upload PastPerfect export documents at Dashboard > PastPerfect Records > Import. Records are individuated by the identifier field; those records whose identifer cannot be found in the WP database will have a new local record created, while those with an existing identifier will have their local records updated.
Records are available at an API endpoint with the format /wp-json/bhs/v1/record/[identifier]. Be sure to flush your permalinks after activating the plugin, to ensure that the endpoint works (Dashboard > Settings > Permalinks > Save).
There is a companion plugin that enables WordPress authors to access and display Storehouse data via shortcodes or template functions. See bhs-client.
