Using the OHMS Plugin - Receiving error

Omeka Classic Plugins
1

I am trying to use the OHMS plugin. I already have a number of OH on our Omeka site and want to see how well the plugin works. I received the following error. "Omeka has encountered the following error. “Logic Exception”: OHMS file must be validated before retrieving list of column examples. Beneath this state are a few lines of code.

LogicException: OHMS file must be validated before retrieving list of column examples. in /home/texascit/texascitylibrary-oralhistory.org/plugins/OhmsImport/models/OhmsImport/File.php:62

What am I missing?

I don’t think the developers of the OhmsImport plugin currently support it, so there might be some issues with using it.

There’s a different plugin that’s written and supported by the Omeka Team that you could try, called OHMS Embed, which you might try out.

There’s one setup step you have to do past just installing the plugin, but once you do that you should be able to just upload an OHMS XML file like you’d upload any other file to an Omeka item and have it displayed.

Thank you jflatness. I appreciate your guidance. However, I was able to figure out the problem. I needed to add the xlm file to where the files are hosted on Reclaim Hosting. I am now able to get the metadata and the video into Omeka. Also, I have installed the OHMS Embed plugin. The only thing I can configure is the size of the window when I open an item.

My next problem is that when I click on the item the video should appear on the screen. It does not. Where the video should be is, is a large black space. However, if I click on one of the segments related to the OH that are found below the video, the video will appear. Does anyone know how to fix this so the video shows up on the main page when I select it?
