Museum of the Moving Image
MMI currently makes a portion of its collection available online to the public. Currently, the public facing site is a stripped down version of the staff CMS but lacking all editing controls, administrative controls, and editing history. The only pages used from the CMS are the search results and artifact description pages. These pages are built from php templates. The code base for the public facing site is the same as the staff version so the two integrate very well. Read access to artifact information, images, and relationship details are accessed directly from the same database as they are written to from the staff version.
Moving Image needs to be able to:
- Note which cataloging records can be made available on the public site
- Note which fields should be made available to the public
- Note which media records attached to the cataloging record should also be made available
- Create groups of objects that may have specific added information (e.g. the silent era or all licensed merchandise)
