"Use HTML" Toggle Box Missing for Some Dublin Fields

Omeka Classic
1

Hello,

I’m struggling with a frustrating Omeka Classic problem that I could use some help with. For some of my items, I have the “Use HTML” toggle button provided below the “Creator” field, but for other items it’s missing. Where can I control when and where this “Use HTML” appears alongside a Dublin Core field? It’s maddening!

Here’s another screenshot showing the Creator field with HTML capabilities. Different item. Same Omeka collection.

Could you let us know what other plugins you are using in this installation?

Dear Sharon,

Thanks for your reply.

Sure thing. Here is the list of activated plugins on my Omeka installation:

  • [Curatescape Admin Helper] Version 1.6.2 by Curatescape
  • [Curatescape JSON] Version 1.2.7 by Center for Public History + Digital Humanities
  • [Geolocation] Version 3.2.3 by Omeka Team
  • [Simple Pages] Version 3.2.1 by Omeka Team
  • [Simple Vocab] Version 2.2.3 by Omeka Team
  • [Super RSS] Version 1.1.0 by Erin Bell
  • [Timeline Shortcode] Version 1.1 by Erin Bell
  • Tour Builder Version 1.9.2 by CSU Center for Public History + Digital Humanities

I just went through the list and deactivated everything that is not being actively used or essential to my current theme.

Thank you.

Well, that’s always the best way to start. Deactivate everything and then turn them on one by one to see if a particular plugin is causing the interference.

Hi @brianjgriffith this is an optional feature of the Curatescape Admin Helper plugin. It is intended to help users understand when HTML will and will not be rendered/stripped when using Curatescape themes.

Certain fields, like Subject and Creator, do not support HTML because they are automatically transformed into hyperlinks (i.e. to link to related content).

See screenshot of settings panel below.

Dear Erin,

Thanks so much for this reply. Yes, I actually found this while doing a deep dive on all of my settings! I forgot to reply to the thread for others’ benefit, so I’m glad you posted this solution. For anyone reading this thread in the future, this is for the (incredible) CurateScape theme, which was made by Erin and his colleagues at the Center for Public History + Digital Humanities at Cleveland State University.

Thanks a billion.

Sincerely,

Brian J Griffith
