New Omeka Plugin Installer

Escher: Omeka Plugin for Plugins

We are pleased to announce our new Omeka Plugin, “Escher”.

“Escher” is a convenience plugin that allows you to download and install plugins from the Omeka plugin directory from within your admin panel (no more FTP or WGET needed).

Each time you click the “Escher” menu link it checks the current plugins from the Omeka plugin directory so you will always get the latest available plugin.

The plugin can be downloaded via our Download Portal or via GitHub.

We hope the plugin is useful to the Omeka community and welcome any feedback at hello@mapfig.com
