New versions of this module and support for Omeka S version 3.0 and above are available on GitLab, which seems to respect users and privacy better than the previous repository.
Easy Admin is a module for Omeka S that allows to manage Omeka from the admin interface:
- bulk upload multiple files in item form, bypassing any server post limits
- buttons to public view and previous/next resources in admin resource show page
- content lock to avoid concurrent edition
- install modules and themes
- install curated selection of modules
- update modules (in a future version)
- maintenance state for public and admin even when no migration
- checks database and files
- backup install
- clear php caches
- launch simple tasks, that can be any job of any module
Checks and fixes that are doable:
- list files in the file system (original and thumbnails), but not in the database
- remove useless files in the files directory (moved to files/check)
- list files in the database, but not in the file system (for original and thumbnails)
- copy original files from a directory, for example after a disk crash or an inadvertent deletion; files are copied via the hash, and they can be anywhere in the directory or in subdirectories of the source path.
- rebuild derivative files
- remove empty directories in file system (original and thumbnails, mainly for module Archive Repertory)
- check and update file size of media (required to fix Omeka installed before Omeka 1.2 (omeka/omeka-s#1257), or after a hard update of files)
- check and fix sha256 hashes of files
- check and fix positions of media (start from 1, without missing number)
- check and set precise media types (for example application/alto+xml instead of text/xml)
- check and prepare dimensions of medias for module Iiif Server
- check and fix the encoding (iso-8859 to utf-8) of resource values and page contents (fix Windows issues)
- check and update titles
- check and update the primary media for each item
- check and stop dead jobs (living in database, but non-existent in system)
- check the size of the database table of sessions and remove them
- check the size of the database table of logs and remove them
- backup install
- clear php caches
- loop resources, for example to update them when a new settings is set
And many more.
See general end user documentation for installing a module.
This module requires the module Common, that should be installed first.
- From the zip
Download the last release EasyAdmin.zip from the list of releases, and
uncompress it in the modules directory.
- From the source and for development
If the module was installed from the source, rename the name of the folder of
the module to EasyAdmin.
Then install it like any other Omeka module and follow the config instructions.
In some cases, in particular when the server is behind a proxy, a firewall or a specific infrastructure, your may need to add credentials in your config (omeka file "config/local.config.php"), depending on your linux distribution:
'http_client' => [
// 'adapter' => \Laminas\Http\Client\Adapter\Curl::class,
'sslcapath' => '/usr/local/etc/ssl/certs',
'sslcafile' => '/usr/local/etc/ssl/certs/ca.crt',
// 'sslcapath' => '/etc/pki/tls/certs',
// 'sslcafile' => '/etc/pki/tls/certs/ca-bundle.crt',
],In some cases, the path should be relative:
'http_client' => [
// 'adapter' => \Laminas\Http\Client\Adapter\Curl::class,
'sslcapath' => '/usr/local/etc/ssl/certs/',
'sslcafile' => 'ca.crt',
// 'sslcapath' => '/etc/pki/tls/certs/',
// 'sslcafile' => 'ca-bundle.crt',
],You can find more information on the params in Laminas help and curl.
The module adds a way to bulk upload files manually without limit of size or number of files in resource form and via a separate bulk upload form for future imports.
Simply select "Files" in the media list in item form.
The option can be enabled in main settings.
Display a button "Public view" in resource show pages. The link is the resource page of the default user site or the default site.
This feature has been integrated partially in Omeka S v4.1, but only for items integrated in a site, not for item sets or media.
Allow to get the previous or the next resources, that simplifies browsing like in Omeka Classic.
Go to the menu "Bulk Check", select your process, set your options if needed, and click the submit buttons. The results are available in logs currently.
Simply select either the desired module or the desired theme and click "upload".
See more details on modules and themes.
This feature is inspired by Drupal Content Lock mechanism and allows to block concurrent editing: when a user is editing a resource, other users cannot edit it until submission.
A script allows to run any job of any module from the command line, even if they are not initialized in the admin interface. It’s useful to run one time tasks or cron tasks, for example to harvest and update resources regularly with module [Bulk Import], or to clean up sessions (see included jobs), or to reindex resources in the search engine with module [Search SolR].
Here is the command line to use:
php '/path/to/omeka/modules/EasyAdmin/data/scripts/task.php' --helpIn main cron tab or in the one of the user "www-data", you can add a task like that:
/bin/su - www-data -c "php /path/to/omeka/modules/EasyAdmin/data/scripts/task.php --task 'EasyAdmin\Job\LoopItems' --user-id 1 --server-url 'https://example.org' --base-path '/'"To use the command with the user "www-data" (or equivalent) may be required when the task creates files inside Omeka "/files/" directory. If the task only uses the database, it is usually not needed, but you need to take care of modules that can create derivative or temp files. And you may need to take care of escaping json arguments.
A sudo command may be used:
sudo -u www-data php '/path/to/omeka/modules/EasyAdmin/data/scripts/task.php' --task 'BulkImport\Job\Import' --user-id 1 --server-url 'https://example.org' --base-path '/omeka-s' --args '{"bulk_import_id": 1}'Required arguments are:
-t--task[Name] May be the full class of a job ("EasyAdmin\Job\LoopItems") or its basename ("LoopItems"). You should take care of case sensitivity and escaping "" or quoting name on cli.-u--user-id[#id] The Omeka user id is required, else the job won’t have any rights.
Recommended arguments:
-s--server-url[url] (default: "http://localhost")-b--base-path[path] (default: "/") The url path to complete the server url.
Optional arguments:
-a--args[json] Arguments to pass to the task. Arguments are specific to each job. To find them, check the code, or run a job manually then check the job page in admin interface.-k--as-taskProcess a a simple task and do not create a job. May be used for tasks that do not need to be checked as a job. This is the inverse of the deprecated argument--job.
As an example, you can try the included job/task, for example "LoopItems" that loops all items to save them. This task allows to update all items, so all the modules that uses api events are triggered. This job can be use as a one-time task that help to process existing items when a new feature is added in a module:
php '/path/to/omeka/modules/EasyAdmin/data/scripts/task.php' --task 'LoopItems' --user-id 1 --server-url 'https://example.org' --base-path '/' --args '{}'Another example: run a bulk import job whose config is stored. Indeed, because the config of a bulk import may be complex, it is simpler to store it in the admin interface with its option "Store job as a task".
php '/path/to/omeka/modules/EasyAdmin/data/scripts/task.php' --task 'BulkImport\Job\Import' --user-id 1 --server-url 'https://example.org' --base-path '/' --args '{"bulk_import_id": 1}'Another example: run a bulk export job whose config is stored with option "Store job as a task".
php '/path/to/omeka/modules/EasyAdmin/data/scripts/task.php' --task 'BulkExport\Job\Export' --user-id 1 --server-url 'https://example.org' --base-path '/' --args '{"bulk_export_id": 1}'Another example: reindex statistics after import of hits:
sudo -u www-data php '/path/to/omeka/modules/EasyAdmin/data/scripts/task.php' --task 'Statistics\Job\AggregateHits' --user-id 1 --server-url 'https://example.org' --base-path '/'Note that for jobs created manually in the admin interface, you can run them with the standard Omeka "perform-job.php". Of course, these job can be run one time only:
php '/path/to/omeka/application/data/scripts/perform-job.php' --job-id 1 --server-url 'https://example.org' --base-path '/'- Output results as tsv (
/files/check/tsv_date_time.tsv) as BulkExport or in a table (done for missing file; to do for all processors). - Check files with the wrong extension.
- Add width/height/duration as data for image/audio/video to avoid to get them each time (ready in modules Iiif Server and Image Server).
- Remove old logs.
- A main cleaning task.
- Add a checkbox in page assets to optimise assets in batch.
- Add a deduplicator for assets (and replace assets used as resource thumbnails and in pages).
Use it at your own risk.
It’s always recommended to backup your files and your databases and to check your archives regularly so you can roll back if needed.

This module is a merge and improvement of previous modules Easy Install, Next, Maintenance, Bulk Check and Generic. The idea of Easy Install comes from the plugin Escher for Omeka Classic.
The curated selections of modules was implemented for the digital library Manioc of the Université des Antilles et de la Guyane.
