"This is not a valid plugin" IIIF Toolkit Omeka Plugin

[trishaoconnor]

IIIF-Toolkit-with-Mirador-1.0.0.zip
Tried to upload this plugin to Omeka by unzipping on my desktop and then manually uploading in my FTP client under plugins. It's listed under plugins but not recognised as a valid plugin so I can't install it.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You have to rename the plugin folder to IiifItems. The error message then goes away and the 'Install' button appears.

Rather unfortunately, though, at least for me, clicking on 'Install' then results in this:

But the database gets a partial update from the failed install, the 'element sets', for example are added.

@trishaoconnor:

As @pfabri mentioned, the directory should be named IiifItems when uploaded to your host. Please also make sure that your host isn't blocking the file types used in the plugin (especially .ini) and has a high enough file size limit to accommodate the files (the largest is the 3.1MB built-in Mirador JS file).

[pfabri]

Well, the above error suggest that the problem is that PHP-CLI can't be found. I've tried the usual /usr/bin/php-cli but to no avail.

[dicksonlaw583]

@pfabri:

The exact path varies with the server's setup, /usr/bin/php-cli is one of several common ones but it might not work for you. This is an issue on your Omeka instance's setup, not the plugin.

Some people got it working as-is, some with /usr/bin/php, some with /usr/bin/php-cli, and some with something else entirely on shared hosts (see this old Omeka forum post).

[pfabri]

@dicksonlaw583:

Yes, that's clear. What is surprising, though, is that I do get a response if I type in /usr/bin/php-cli -v on my server, but still the plugin reports it's not there.

Any ideas?

[dicksonlaw583]

Try going into application/config/config.ini in your Omeka installation and changing its background.php.path entry to "/usr/bin/php-cli".

[trishaoconnor]

Thank you @pfabri and @dicksonlaw583 for your help. I changed the plugin folder's name as you suggested and the install button appeared. I also got an error report when I clicked install. I turned on the error reports and this is what I got back.

Any ideas on what I must do from here? I've already tried deleting the contents of the folder and reinstalling them from Trash.

Kind regards,

Trisha

@trishaoconnor:

Please go to Settings - Element Sets to delete the IIIF-related element sets, then retry.

If you downloaded the plugin from Omeka.org and the problem persists, please retry with this link from GitHub (which has a recent addition avoiding the message you described):

https://codeload.github.com/utlib/IiifItems/zip/master

With the GitHub link, please remember to rename it back to IiifItems before uploading.

@dicksonlaw583
When I deleted the Element sets and tried installing again I another error response about the item type. So I will tried the GitHub link to see if that will install without issue. I've received the following error report:

@trishaoconnor:

That error is the same one as pfabri's earlier on, which is caused by a mis-configured long-running job dispatcher on your installation.

Please set the background.php.path entry in your Omeka instance's application/config/config.ini file to another PHP-CLI binary, or ask on forum.omeka.org for help on setting up your environment.

[trishaoconnor]

Thanks, @dicksonlaw583.
