Plugin that provides functionality and templates for bringing DRS data into WP for the CERES: Exhibit Toolkit.

Should be cloned into wp-content/plugins with

  git clone https://github.com/NEU-Libraries/drs-toolkit-wp-plugin.git drs-tk

Relies on Javascript being enabled and AJAX - Should work in IE10 and up, Chrome, Firefox, and Safari

Corresponding theme

If you are not using the CERES library, rename ceres_adapters.php to ceres_adapters.php.dist, unless that is already in the distribution.

First, it has a version in git. This will allow for better tracking and debugging. It also cleans up many code and logic issues, and moves toward a more generalized error-reporting mechanism. See Release Notes for details.

1. Ask Karl for clean install of WP on correct server (will need to provide a directory name and domain info)

2. On the server, any files ending in .dist need to be copied to their non-dist equivalents, and settings in those files added. Contact @patrickmj for the private data there for now (new in v1.2)

3. Log in to new Wordpress site as admin user

4. Install Quest theme (go to /wp-admin/theme-install.php and search for quest then click install)

5. SSH into correct directory on server and git clone this repo into wp-content/plugins

  git clone https://github.com/NEU-Libraries/drs-toolkit-wp-plugin.git drs-tk

5. Also clone the theme into wp-content/themes

  git clone https://github.com/NEU-Libraries/drs-toolkit-wp-theme.git quest-child

6. Copy a valid config.php file with the correct credentials into the root folder

7. Optionally, register your site on google analytics and add your code to a git-ignored file called analytics.php

  cd /wp-content/themes/quest-child
  vi analytics.php

Example file contents:

  <?php
    echo "<script>[YOUR GOOGLE ANALYTICS CODE]
    function add_google_tracking(){
      jQuery('.button').on('click', function() {
        ga('send', 'event', jQuery(this).data('label'), 'click', jQuery(this).data('pid'));
        console.log('send', 'event', jQuery(this).data('label'), 'click', jQuery(this).data('pid'));
      });
    }
    </script>
    ";

8. If you would like to override some of the functionality and styles or this child theme you may create a sub-directory named overrides. This directory will be ignored by git and your changes won't be overwritten by future git pulls from the main repo. Additionally, you can initialize this repository as a git-submodule and track your own changes in your own repo.

  cd wp-content/themes/quest-child
  mkdir overrides
  touch overrides/style.css
  echo "<?php //silence is golden" > overrides/functions.php

9. Delete extra themes to avoid user confusion

  cd wp-content/themes
  rm -rf twentyfifteen
  rm -rf twentysixteen
  rm -rf twentyseventeen

If you would like breadcrumbs on single pages/posts (not drs items) that reflect hierarchy, simply drag and drop the pages in the wp-admin pages screen to nest.

Moving a site to Production

1. Install additional plugins - WP Super Cache, Google XML Sitemaps, Warm Cache and enable all three

2. Go to Settings > WP Super Cache and select Caching on then Update Status

3. Go to Settings > XML-Sitemap and copy the URL for the sitemap

4. Go to Plugins > Warm cache and paste in the URL from above. This will generate a URL something like https://domain.library.northeastern.edu/?warm_cache=jfido908234 Copy this URL and place it in the warm_cache.sh script located in /mnt/wordpressdata/warm_cache.sh on the production server. This is triggered on a cron job to warm the cache on production sites. (as root user - 00 1 * * * /mnt/wordpressdata/warm_cache.sh)

If you have trouble with the loading DRS content after initial install. Here are a few things to check:

• Check to make sure you have mod_rewrite enable (enable (a2enmod rewrite) and apache2/httpd restart(sudo service apache2 restart)). If you aren't sure if mod_rewrite is enabled, check phpinfo()

• Make sure the apache conf settings are correct. For your WP directory, you must have Options FollowSymlinks and AllowOverride FileInfo or AllowOverride All

• Make sure php5-curl library is installed. sudo apt-get install php5-curl and sudo service apache2 restart

• Check to make sure permalink settings are on and correct (ie. no index.php inside the path). If saving/resaving permalink settings does not work, make sure your .htaccess file in the root directory of your WP install is present and writable. For more on permalinks see https://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Permalinks.

• Check File permissions. In general WP directories should be 775 and files should be 664, with the exception of wp-config.php which should be 660. See https://www.smashingmagazine.com/2014/05/proper-wordpress-filesystem-permissions-ownerships/ for more info.

Optional Steps for Updating

1. Install Composer (Install Directions)

2. Add a composer.json file to the root directory of your Wordpress install with the following content:

    {
  	"repositories":[
  		{
  			"type":"vcs",
  			"url":"https://github.com/NEU-Libraries/drs-toolkit-wp-plugin"
  		}
  	],
  	"require": {
  		"drs-tk/drs-tk":"dev-master"
  	},
  	"extra" : {
          	"installer-paths" : {
              		"wp-content/plugins/{$name}/": ["type:wordpress-plugin"]
          	}
      	}
  }

3. Update the plugin by running php composer.phar update in the root directory of your wordpress install.

To Setup Mirador

      cd wp-content/plugins/drs-tk
      cp assets/mirador/sample_manifest.js assets/mirador/mirador_manifest.js

For Performing Updates to Plugins en mass

1. Make sure you have wp-cli installed on your server (See https://wp-cli.org/ for more info on installing if you do not have it installed)

2. Go to the root of your wordpress install

  wp plugin list --path="/var/www/html/drstest"

where the path is the correct path to the root of your wordpress install. This will show you all of the plugins installed and which have updates available.

  wp plugin update --path="/var/www/html/drstest --all"

You can use --all to update all plugins which have updates or you can specify certain plugins
