* "Metadata and Filters": Use a metadata standard or choose whatever set of metadata you want to describe the items in your collections. Also, choose which metadata will be used as a filter when browsing collections.
* "Themes": The Tainacan plugin has its own default theme, which helps you to showcase your collections in a beautiful and effective manner. But it can also work with any WordPress theme, so interface developers can easyly add Tainacan specific features to an existing theme.
* "API and Interoperability": Tainacan implements a RESTful API (read and write) to allow other applications to interact with your repository. That way, you can expose your collection in different formats, such as Json, JsonLD, OAI-PMH and others. If your collection has a specific set of metadata, you can map this metadata to match the patterns you want to use.
* "Gutenberg blocks": Tell stories with your collections. Tainacan offers you several Gutenberg blocks so you can present your collections to the public in many different ways!
Navigate the top menu to set your collection up. Create the metadata that items in this collection will have, and choose, from these metadata, which ones are going to be used as a filter.
If you want to visit your collections in the public side of your site, using your current theme, visit http://your-site/tainacan-collection and you will get the list of your collections.
Edit your menu and links directly to your collections. Click "Screen options" at the top of the Menu edition page and enable "Collections".
If you want to add a link to the list of collections, click "View all" tab on the Collections box on the left, and then add the first item named "Collections" to the menu.
= Faceted search in your theme =
We are still working in a way to enable faceted search in any theme. You can try it but it might not work very well depending on your theme.
In order to do this, use the shortcode "tainacan-search" in any page of your site (we recommend a full width template page), informing the ID of the collection you want to display.
Example: [tainacan-search collection-id=4]
== Installation ==
Upload the files to the plugins directory and activate it. You can also install and activate directly from the your admin panel.
If you have Imagick installed in your server, Tainacan will be able to automatically generate a thumbnail from your PDF files. This is desired but not required.
