Internship / PHPMYADMIN and OMEKA for Management Museum UUM


Installed XAMPP: Turned on the Apache and MySQL services.

Configured phpMyAdmin for Remote Access: Set the IP to allow access from other computers by configuring the Require all granted option.

Designed Database: Created a table for managing artifacts and acquisitions with fields like:
  • NO. PENDAFTARAN (Registration Number)
  • NAMA BAHAN / ARTIFAK (Name of Material/Artifact)
  • JENIS PEROLEHAN (Type of Acquisition)
  • TARIKH PEROLEHAN (Date of Acquisition)
  • SUMBER (Source)
  • DESKRIPSI SUMBER (Source Description)
  • KLASIFIKASI UTAMA (Main Classification)
  • SUB-CLASSIFICATION (Sub-Classification)
  • KUANTITI (Quantity)
  • DESKRIPSI (Description)
  • NAMA PEREKOD (Recorder's Name)
  • GAMBAR BAHAN (Material Image)
You then entered the data manually through phpMyAdmin's Insert tab and set up access permissions for different users. Additionally, you configured a public view where users can log in without a password to view certain database records.

I recently installed Omeka on my local server and configured it smoothly at the address http://10.1.14.53/omeka. Everything seemed to be functioning well initially, but I encountered an issue related to thumbnail generation for images. The problem arises from the fact that I'm using PHP 8.3, and it seems that the Imagick extension, which Omeka relies on to handle image processing and thumbnail generation, isn't fully compatible with this PHP version.

As a result, none of the uploaded images are generating thumbnails, which is a critical feature for displaying visual content in Omeka. This issue is quite limiting, especially for a project that involves curating digital artifacts where image representation is essential.

Imagick typically works well for handling image processing tasks, such as resizing images and generating different image formats. However, with PHP 8.3, it seems that Imagick support is still lacking, leading to this problem. I’m exploring possible workarounds, including either downgrading PHP to a version that’s more compatible with Imagick, like PHP 8.0 or 8.1, or switching to an alternative image processing library like GD, which Omeka also supports but is less feature-rich compared to Imagick.

Resolving this issue is critical for ensuring that the project functions smoothly, especially since the ability to see and manage artifact thumbnails directly impacts the user experience when navigating the database.

How to install IMAGICK!!!
