Can Omeka blur sensitive images?

Hi all,

Is there any ability to blur an image that contains sensitive content with the image revealed after visitors signal their consent and press a button? As in this example

Hi @ArchiveQIB ,

I haven’t seen this built-in or as something someone has already implemented, but I do think you could do it by customizing your theme. You would most likely need to add a metadata field to items or media to indicate that an image is sensitive.

The site you give as an example is an Omeka S site, so I suppose that kind of proves that it can be done. Yes, I think the theme is the most likely place for something like this to be implemented, with some CSS and Javascript probably.

It looks to me like they’re doing that particular page with a custom page block or template.

This is really helpful! Looking into it more this is what seems to have been done and is definitely achievable
