Universal Viewer Config - Disable Downloads for certain Sites

Omeka S Modules
#1

Hello,

I am using Universal Viewer 2.0.2 setting on a site with external manifests hosted on another site (Omeka 3.2.1 and Universal Viewer version 3.6.4.5.

This particular site/collection would like to disable the download button on the Universal Viewer for their items, but still keep the display. Is it possible to do this just for a particular site, and not the whole Omeka S installation? I know there was a suggestion given on this thread Sidebar default for Universal Viewer but would like to limit this configuration only for this particular site - even if they need to have custom theme? I see there is a setting to disable the bottom panel On Github that I would try to apply.

Many thanks

Hi Sanjin,

I vaguely recall doing this with our first site. While I forget exactly how it was done, looking through that theme would suggest:

  1. We created a separate theme.

  2. In the new theme’s ‘asset’ folder we created a new folder titled ‘universal-viewer’.

  1. We created a config.json file in this new folder i.e. /asset/universal-viewer/config.json as follows:
{
  "options": {
    "dropEnabled": true,
    "footerPanelEnabled": true,
    "headerPanelEnabled": true,
    "leftPanelEnabled": true,
    "limitLocales": false,
    "overrideFullScreen": false,
    "pagingEnabled": true,
    "rightPanelEnabled": true
  },
  "modules": {
    "headerPanel": {
      "options": {
        "localeToggleEnabled": false
      }
    },
    "footerPanel": {
      "options": {
        "downloadEnabled": false,
        "shareEnabled": false
    }
  },
    "seadragonCenterPanel": {
      "options": {
        "autoHideControls": false,
        "maxZoomPixelRatio": 0.9
      }
    }
  }
}

Of course, you may tailor this as you see fit.

There may be better ways of doing this- indeed I can’t guarantee it will work for you!- but it’s worth a try.

All the best,
John
