Quality of life changes when adding Repository Items and Media to provide automatic redirection to relevant pages and suppress form elements when only one choice is actually correct.

This module requires the following modules/libraries:

• Islandora
• Prepopulate

Install as usual, see this for further information.

Basic Ingest attempts to help out with the process of creating Media and selecting display hints by by maintaining a mapping of Repository Item model URIs to Media type IDs.

This mapping lives in the configuration at basic_ingest.settings.map, and contains a list of mapping objects supporting the following structure:

• uri: the URI of the model to apply this mapping to
• media_type: the ID of the media type this model should be mapped to
• display_hints: a sequence of display hint URIs applicable to the given Media type, to narrow down the selection list.

Most of the improvements in this module appear automatically and don't require any further configuration.

• Some CSS is provided to improve the user experience during ingest
• Fields with options (checkboxes, select fields, and radio buttons) are automatically suppressed if they contain no options
• When Media are ingested, an option is given to automatically redirect to that Media's parent
• When Repository Items are created that expect a Media to be attached, an option is given to automatically redirect to the Media submission form
• Display hints can also be mapped to Media types so that the display hint selection is suppressed
• The PID field is suppressed during Resource Item creation
• The link to show and hide row weights is suppressed
