How to set the start page in module "IIIF Server"?

Omeka S Modules
1

Hi all,

I want to be able to control which page (image) is shown on initial load of an IIIF media. I am using the modules “IIIIF server” and “Mirador”.

In the configuration of the module “IIIF Server” I see the following configuration options:

  • Property to set the start page (may be an index, a media or a time)
  • Use the primary media as start page, except when property above is filled

I have indicated that I want to use the schema:pageStart property for this.

Subsequently, I need to set this property in the item metadata, but I don’t know in what format I should provide the value. I have tried all the following options, but neither of them load the Mirador viewer on the desired page.

  • [Text - page number] 2
  • [Text - page number] p2
  • [Text - media ID] 9
  • [Text - URL to media file] http://omeka.local/admin/media/9
  • [Omeka resource - Media] selected the media file from the side menu that opens on the right

So, what value or syntaxis should I use in the item metadata?
@Daniel_KM, maybe?

Thank you in advance.
Best regards,

Yes, this is the good option, so if it does not work, it should be a bug.

Hi Daniel,
Thanks for your reply.

You wrote “this is the good option”. Which specific option are you referring to? That would put me in the good direction with troubleshooting.

Also, let me know which additional information I should provide, i.e. should I create a bug issue on the Gitlab repo for IiifServer?

This is the option pageStart and you can use either “2” (position of the media in the manifest, that may be different from position in item if you have media that are not in manifest) or the media resource itself.
