With this module it is possible for (external) users to upload media objects to the MediaHaven platform. Zeticon has achieved this by using the rest API.
Users have the ability to browse to a public website where they can upload media files. An administrator can determine what metadata the users can select or add. It is also possible to create extra user information like first name, last name, e-mail, …
These websites work on mobile devices and pc.

This is a great module if you want to have the opportunity to create a publicly available website for specific projects where files can be uploaded by external users*. These import websites can be used for a wide variety of purposes. An example could be a competition where visitors can upload their best pictures which they took at an event. This module can also be used for heritage groups that occasionally have to upload photos or other projects and where it is not necessary to posses the knowledge to work with the more advanced features of MediaHaven.

One of the main benefits is that uploaders will supply metadata correctly for each project, without room for error. This saves a lot of time for administrators.

*External users: Users that are not a part of general MediaHaven users. These could be users that are only using the platform during one specific project.

You need to log in with a MediaHaven account to use this module.
To gain rights to use the administrative side of the import website, a user must have access to at least one ingest space and have the 'Access import module' user function.
More information about rights can be found in the main manual. This manual can be consulted in the management module by navigating to Help > Manual or  by pressing the F1-key on your keyboard.

An administrator can then access the project settings by navigating to the import-module portal.
The url to this portal is the url to the MediaHaven website + '/import'. Ex. organisation.mediahaven.com/import
The user then needs to authorize access to the import module through OAuth2.0 verification.
See the steps below:

Step 1: Click through to the MediaHaven Authorization Portal

Step 2: Choose 'Log in with MediaHaven' option

Step 3: Log in

 

 

 

Step 4: Authorize import module

 

Found below is a manual that describes how to create a new project using the default template. If you need any additional help after reading everything and trying it for yourself, you can always contact our support department.

Hint: You can find question marks

that give you more detailed information about that specific option

Once logged in you can see an overview of the existing projects.

 

We use the blue "New" button to create a new project.

We need to add a name for our project and choose an ingest space. The ingest space is the place where the files where they will be uploaded in the MediaHaven system. In this ingest space you will find the file with the metadata that has been added by the Project module user. Here you or another person can review these files. Here you can decide to keep them, add metadata and eventually publish them so they become visible for other users. This depending on the rights you will give these files. (same like a normal upload in MediaHaven). The major gain here is that these files will contain metadata like you have set up here in the project module.

 

Once your new project has been created you will see something like:

The Admin url is where we build the webpages. The url is the url we will give to the user. Let's choose Admin url.
