      Hey all,

      I currently use Omeka.net, http://digitalmanifesto.omeka.net. The ultimate goal is to move the site to a URL I bought, digitalmanifesto.net.

      There are several tutorials for this, but I am not exactly sure what I need to have in place before the move. Has anyone done this/does anyone have a simple tutorial to follow?

      Thanks!

      Hi,

      What do you mean by “in place”? Did you contract with a hosting provider
      for server space besides obtaining the domain name?

      Yes,

      I have all the space I need to host the site. What I need to know is what is included in the Omeka export. For instance, do I need to code the site before I move it, or will the look and structure of the site be preserved when it is exported.

      If I remember correctly, you export just the database content. You need to
      have a clean install of omeka on the receiving site.

      Alright,

      Thanks! That’s what I thought, but not what I was hoping. If that is the case, I think I will just code a new site.

      As of right now, I think you can ask them to turn on the export plugin by contacting them via the contact form. However, the CSV that generates only includes Item metadata and files.

      If you can wait a few weeks, though, Omeka.net will be updated to the latest version of Omeka, which includes API access. There is a separate Omeka plugin that you could put in your new standalone site, and it will suck much more data from the omeka.net site via the API.

      In both cases, none of the theme configuration gets exported, so those would need to be rebuilt.

      Patrick,

      Excellent! Thanks–this will save me quite a bit of work.

      I think it should be restated here: Omeka is amazing!
