Omeka Toolkit: Plugins
Below are some plugins you might want to use in your Omeka site. Please keep in mind that depending on what sort of site you are running and how it's hosted, you may not have access to all of these resources. Plugins that are available on free or paid but limited Omeka.net sites (as well as hosted solutions), are marked with an * (asterisk). Essentially, these plugins are available anyone with any sort of hosting solution. Other plugins may only be available with paid or hosted accounts. You can find even MORE plugins through existing Omeka documentation or searching the web (some plugins are now hosted separately through GitHub).
