Overview

I created a page for visually browsing Omeka S themes.

以下のページで公開されているOmeka SのThemesについて、スター数やサムネイルを表示します。 https://daniel-km.github.io/UpgradeToOmekaS/omeka_s_themes.html

The following site is convenient for searching Omeka S themes:

These pages simplify migration from Omeka 2 (Omeka Classic) to Omeka S and bring together all available tools on the web about Omeka Classic and Omeka S. For missing or new plugins or any other need on Omeka and digital collections, don’t hesitate to contact us!

From Omeka Classic to Omeka Semantic

However, I thought it would be even more convenient to be able to see the appearance of themes and their star counts in a list view. Using the source data from the site above, I created this new page:

UpgradeToOmekaS/_data/omeka_s_themes.csv at master · Daniel-KM/UpgradeToOmekaS

Create page to get data about Omeka Classic and Omeka S (https://daniel-km.github.io/UpgradeToOmekaS). - Daniel-KM/UpgradeToOmekaS

GitHub

How It Was Created

GitHub

I used the GitHub API to retrieve the last update date and star count for each repository. To use the GitHub API, I created a Personal Access Token (PAT):

個人用アクセストークンを管理する - GitHubドキュメント

認証時に、personal access token をパスワードの代わりとして使用し、コマンドラインまたは API で GitHub できます。

GitHub Docs

Also, since the thumbnail image for Omeka S themes corresponds to a file called theme.jpg, I checked for its existence and retrieved it when available:

Theme Functions - Omeka S Developer Documentation

omeka.org

As a result, I created JSON data like the following:

[
    {
        "name": "1972_theme_omekaS",
        "last_updated": "2022-01-04T09:48:25Z",
        "stars": 0,
        "url": "https://github.com/marlara/1972_theme_omekaS",
        "description": "A theme based on \"The Daily\" in Omeka S, for the digital exhibition \"1972. Moda, storia e design\"",
        "theme_url": "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/marlara/1972_theme_omekaS/master/theme.jpg"
    },
    {
        "name": "AgileBaseOmekaTheme",
        "last_updated": "2023-12-01T11:51:13Z",
        "stars": 2,
        "url": "https://github.com/agile-humanities/AgileBaseOmekaTheme",
        "description": null
    },
    ...
]

Notion

I used Notion for creating the web page:

Notionサイトの公開 – Notion (ノーション)ヘルプセンター

Notionで作成したページは、クリックするだけで魅力的なNotionサイトに変えることができます。ブログやレジュメ、ポートフォリオ、求人情報、ランディングページなどを公開でき、その可能性は、Webそのものと同じくらいに膨大です。

Notion

Using the REST API, I updated the database based on the JSON data above:

To use the API, I needed to create an API secret:

The database features like filtering, sorting, and layout switching were very convenient. Below is an example using the timeline view to display the last update date of each theme (repository):
