This plugin for Omeka Classic gives administrators the ability to create a hierarchical tree of their collections. A collection can have at most one parent collection, but a collection may have multiple child collections.
This plugin has no requirements or dependencies.
Uncompress files and rename plugin folder "CollectionTree". Then install it like any other Omeka plugin and follow the config instructions.
You can configure the plugin to adjust the display by checking the following options:
Order alphabetically: This setting orders the Collection Tree alphabetically, but does not affect the order of the collections browse page. By default collections will be ordered by creation date, i.e. by collection ID. Each level of the hierarchy will be alphabetized with this setting. Note that this may not work as expected if you use text formatting, such as italics or bold, inside your collection titles.
Browse root-level collections only: This setting limits the public collections browse page so it only includes top-level (parent) collections and does not show subcollections (any collections nested inside others).
Show subcollections items: This setting includes all of the items from the subcollections in the list of items on the parent collections' show page. For example, a top-level collection with 10 items contains another collection that itself has 29 items. Check this to make the top-level collection appear to contain 39 items instead.
Expand search to include subcollection items by default: This setting will mean that a search performed inside a top-level collection will also look through all the items of its subcollections.
