Prefill form fields with values taken from Options table: hookAfterFooter()

[kunikla]

hookAfterFooter() can update the values in the text form fields using the values stored in the Options table, either by outputting a JS script or by calling functions in the PHP DOM library.

When compiling PHP, the DOM PHP module is included by default, so it should be available on most servers hosting Omeka websites. If used, it might be wise to mention the PHP DOM module in user documentation as a requirement for the plugin.

Another approach is to create/update the appropriate ElementText records, in which case Omeka will take care of displaying them. The fields will be blank when the Item is being created. Increased chance of inconsistencies in the database when information is duplicated. Could figure out a way to rely solely on the values stored in the ElementText table.
