ucsclibrary / bulkmetadataeditor Goto Github PK

I'd love to be able to use this plugin to do batch edits on the Dublin Core metadata fields for file attachments as well as items. I'm not sure if this is feasible – thanks for a great plugin regardless!

The BulkMetadataEditor.zip file for release v2.9 is missing the views/helpers/BulkEdit.php file. The Source Code (zip) file does include it.

Files copied to the plugin directory, I log in as a superadmin, go to plugins, and only BulkMetaDataEditor gets the error "not a valid plugin." Please let me know if you'd like any additional info.

Hi.
I'm using this plugin (thanks a lot for creating it) quite a lot, lately, and I've noticed a couple of times that the choice to default all fields in case of no selection can create some issues: in one case, for instance, after selecting the fields we wanted to change, for some reason they got unselected before pressing "Go!", so we ended up with the same extradatum in every field (to undo, we had to replace that metadatum with blank, and then delete all blanks).
It could have been worse (like if the action selected was "delete" instead of "add"), you might want to consider defaulting to 0 instead; this way, if no fields is selected, the bulk editing simply doesn't happen.
Hope this helps.

Hello,

I tried to use the option: "Search and replace text" with "Use regular expressions" but it does not seems to accept any kind of regexpr.

I did validate the ones I wanted in a regexpr validator so I am sure they are OK.

Hi, since I upgraded to 2.5 the Bulk Metadata Editor Plugin didn't work anymore. I still get the Message "The requested changes are applied to the database one by one in the background. Check logs for success and errors." - but no changes to my data where realized. Any suggestions are welcome best jan

Hello,

Bulk Editor changes show up when we're signed in as Admin, but they don't show up on the Public Page.

I recently got the PHP path not found error (Bulk Metadata edition cannot be started: The configured PHP path (/bin/php) is invalid) and so contacted my host to get the path and added that to the config file as explained in you documentation. We thought it was working but realized the next day that we only saw the changes when logged in.
Any help is welcome.

Thank you,
Lori

The (not yet publicly available) version of this plugin posted to the Omeka addons directory has an internal folder name of BulkMetadataEditor-master, when it should be BulkMetadataEditor.

Generally, GitHub's folder names it generates automatically for zip downloads won't work. You need to either edit them, or manually use git archive instead to make the zip and choose the folder name yourself.
