Glycerine IIIF Viewer

An Omeka S module which displays IIIF manifests in item pages and site blocks using Glycerine Viewer.

Overview

Configuration

Choose one properties (e.g., dcterms:source, foaf:homepage) that may contain IIIF manifest URLs in the module configuration page. When rendering item pages, any valid IIIF manifest URL will be displayed in Glycerine Viewer.

Usage

Automatic Item Rendering

If an item contains the configured property with a valid IIIF manifest URL, Glycerine Viewer will be embedded automatically on the item’s internal and public pages.
