Become an “xDams to WordPress” plugin beta tester, the regesta.exe team (www.regesta.com) has released a plugin that will allow you to publish digital contents, cataloged with xDams, on a WordPress (www.wordpress.org) managed website.

Publishing will become easy, simply configuring archives by the back-end of WordPress, (fields to be displayed and their labels). In the pages and posts you can insert a simple shortcode (eg. [xdamsItem] id [/ xdamsItem] tab) to publish data directly from xDams.

You can insert a search form (free or by specific fields), results list, with or without a preview image. It will be possible to publish individual items and to build small Exhibitions. If you are able in PHP programming you can build your own publishing templates.

The plugin will be initially available for users of the free hosting service, you may contact us to participate in the test. regesta.exe will provide a dedicated WordPress environment and will support you for the plugin. We remember that at moment are availlable the following types of archives :

• Documentary archives (EAD):
  • Historical (ISAD (G))
  • photo (ICCD F)
  • audiovisual (FIAF)
  • Art objects (ICCD OA and OAC)
