IIIF Image server location
- The URL to your IIIF image server (without trailing slash).

Views Style Plugin

This module implements a Views Style plugin. It provides the following settings:

Tile Source: A field that was added to the views list of fields with the image to be served. This should be a File or Image type field on a Media.
Structured Text field: This lets you specify a file field where OCR text with positional data, e.g., hOCR can be found.

Media Attributes from IIIF Action

The module also provides an action that lets a site owner populate a TIFF or JP2 image's width and height attributes into fields so the IIIF server is not bogged down trying to generate a manifest if it doesn't have them.

To use it, either:

Add it as a derivative reaction to a node with an Original FIle as its child, or
Use it as a batch action, such as on a Paged Content object's list of child pages.

The action assumes the media type has fields with machine names of field_height and field_width. Making this configurable would mean they would not appear on entity list pages.

Official documentation is available on the Islandora 8 documentation site.
