A bash script for adding/updating Curatescape tools on an existing Omeka installation
Upload the curatescape_utility.sh file to your server (manually or with something like...):
$ wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ebellempire/curatescape_utility/master/curatescape_utility.sh
Then just run it like any shell script, including one or more arguments indicating the location of the installation(s):
$ sh curatescape_utility.sh path/to/omeka
$ sh curatescape_utility.sh path/to/omeka another/path/to/omeka
Depending on your server configuration, you may need to use the following syntax instead:
$ bash ./curatescape_utility.sh path/to/omeka
The script creates a new folder in your ~ home directory called curatescape_utility and into that pulls the latest tagged versions of all required and optional Curatescape plugins, as well as the Curatescape theme (if any of the repos already exist there, it will check for updates). Then the script will copy the most recent theme and plugin versions (sans .git files) to where they need to go in the Omeka installation(s) you included as arguments (to verify if an argument is a valid path to Omeka, we just look for the bootstrap.php file and make sure it includes the string OMEKA_VERSION). The output while it's processing is useful but minimal. When it's done, it prints out a basic summary, just to let you know if it skipped something that didn't appear to be a valid Omeka installation. That's it.
The script does not install Omeka. It does not upgrade Omeka. It does not backup your database. Those are all things your hosting provider probably already does (or can do) for you or for which there are plenty of other options.
This script assumes that the default branch for all repositories is called "master." You should be able to add additional themes and plugins here, but they'll all need to have a master branch. If your repo's default branch is main (or something else), you'll need to update the script to handle that. So far, I haven't had a reason to do so. Pull requests welcome.
This script also assumes that your theme repositories will be structured like the two default Curatescape themes, i.e. where the actual theme directory sits inside the root directory, next to the .git file (e.g. theme-curatescape/curatescape/). This is another limitation I haven't had occasion to address. If your theme repo is not structured in this manner, you'll need to update the script. Pull requests welcome.
This script also assumes the latest tag corresponds to the latest production release. Again, pull requests welcome.
Lastly, but importantly, this script deletes the contents of the robots.txt file to ensure that social media previews are able to display images. Run the script after core updates to ensure that social media crawlers can access the files directory. If you have customized your robots.txt file, you will need to restore those customizations after running the script
You might want to occasionally remove the curatescape_utlity directory, which can get pretty big from always checking out the latest tag. Just run rm -rf curatescape_utlity as needed.
