Testing: StaticSiteExport plugin #2
Description
StaticSiteExport is a plugin for exporting an Omeka site as a static site. A static site is a website that is delivered to a browser exactly as stored, in contrast to a dynamic site which is generated by a web application (like Omeka). The idea here is to drop technical dependencies and improve performance and security. This is part of a larger effort to provide our users options for the long-term preservation and access of content stored on their Omeka sites.
To test this plugin, follow the instructions in the End user notes section of the README. Make sure your site has richly-described resources, complex exhibits, and geolocations. So far, ExhibitBuilder and Geolocation are the only plugins that integrate with StaticSiteExport. Before exporting, check out ExhibitBuilder's static-site-export branch and Geolocation's static-site-export branch.
After you've built a static site using Hugo (again, directions in the "End user notes"), view the site in your browser and confirm that everything looks okay. Check that all the items, collections, tags, exhibits, geolocations, etc. carried over and that nothing is broken. Depending on how many plugins on the site, you may see omissions where there's no integration. Nevertheless, it should not break things, save for some unavoidable styling issues.
