Adding an object to a collection in Islandora 7.x-2.x

Adding instead of Ingesting

I am going to start using Drupal terminology where it makes sense. Once you've got a collection node created, you can associate some content with it. This will be important when we want to create collection views.

Adding a Basic Image content type to an existing collection.

The Basic Image content type provides the user with the option to upload a gif, jpg, or png image to Fedora along with descriptive metadata. Similar to other Drupal content types there are only a few steps to add a Basic Image.

  1. Select Add content from the admin menu or the Navigation block, then select Basic Image from the list of content types. Add content - Basic Image
  2. Fill in the fields in the associated metadata form. Ensure you include:
    1. the title of your image
    2. choose the image file to upload
    3. select the parent collection you want your image to be a member of. Basic Image - Add file and metadata
  3. Select Save to create a new Basic Image.
  4. Your new Basic Image displayed in Drupal. Basic Image in Drupal
