DPLA Appfest Drupal integration

Idea

Drupal module or distribution

Your Name: Nate Hill

Type of app: Drupal CMS

Description of App: Many. many libraries choose to use Drupal as their content management system or as their application development framework. A contrib Drupal module that creates a simple interface for admin users to curate collections of DPLA content for display on a library website would be useful.

Workflow

Preamble:

I don't like recreating the wheel. So, let's see what contrib modules already exist, and see if we can just create a workflow to do this to start with. It would be really nice if DPLA had a OAI-PMH provider, then you could just use CCK + Feeds + Feeds OAI-PMH.

Example: bitly.com/VXMvMr

Requirements:

CCK

drush pm-download cck
Feeds

drush pm-download feeds
Feeds - JSON Parser

drush pm-download feeds_jsonpath_parser cd sites/all/modules/feeds_jsonpath_parser && wget http://jsonpath.googlecode.com/files/jsonpath-0.8.1.php

Setup:

Create a Content Type for the DPLA content you would like to pull in (admin/content/types/add)
Create DPLA metadata fields for the Content Type (admin/content/node-type/YOURCONTENTYPE/fields)
Create a new feed importer (admin/build/feeds/create)
Configure the settings for you new feed importer
- Basic settings:
  - Select the Content Type you would like to import into
  - Select a fequency you would like Feeds to ingest
- Fetcher
  - HTTP Fetcher
- Processor
  - Node processor
  - Select the Content Type you created
  - Mappings (create a mapping for each metadata field you created)
    - Source : jsonpath_parser:0
    - Target : Title
- Parser
  - JSONPath Parser
  - Settings for JSONPath parser
    - Context: $.docs.*
Construct a search you would like to ingest using the DPLA API
- ex: http://api.dp.la/v1/items?dplaContributor=%22Minnesota%20Digital%20Library%22
Start the import! (node/add/YOURCONTENTTYPE)
Give the import a title... whatever your heart desires.
Add a feed url
Click on JSONPath Parser settings, and start adding all of the JSONPaths
Click save, and watch the import go.
