Re: xmlui.general.dspace_home & metadata element="title" questions

Well, starting to feel rather defeated.

At http://dspacedev.nt.gov.au/, ended up doing a complete vanilla install, without any of our
customisations (except for the dspace.cfg). Have also deleted the cocoon cache. But as you can see, the
home page still ends up as the Community List.

Does anyone have any other suggestions, or noticed this on a vanilla install? I'm not sure what other things
could be cached somewhere that could be causing this sort of behaviour.

Thanks
Jennifer

Not a suggestion unfortunately -- but I just checked and I have the same
problem on a vanilla 1.7.0 install that just has a few changes in
dspace.cfg. The server isn't publicly accessible, but yes it does say
"Community List" in the page title and the breadcrumb trail says DSpace
Home > Community List.

cheers,
Andrea

Re: Need Help for Dspace Rest API

Hi Dave,

can you post the detailed request you have made? Are you using json or xml?

Re: Need Help for Dspace Rest API


Hi Dhaivat,

I tested it now, there is no input to the script provided. Only xml and 
json are supported.
Later in the day I will try to provide an example how to make a post/put 
request.

Today: Free Discovery online seminar

Tune in on our UStream Channel at 10AM EDT (4PM GMT+2) for a free, one hour seminar on configuration of DSpace Discovery, the new faceted search and browse engine. We have tackled yesterday's connection issues with a much stronger upload speed, so we're in for smooth sailing this time.

We will tackle following topics:

1. Introduction

In the introduction, we will briefly talk about the differences between discovery and regular search/browse and highlight some minor changes between Discovery in DSpace 1.7.0 and DSpace 1.7.1

2. Hiding metadata from discovery

By default, most of the metadata (actually all of them with the exception of a few provenance fields) are indexed in Discovery with the aim of producing search results. In case you want to keep some metadata fields entirely private, we'll show you how to achieve this.

3. Configuring different fields in the auto-complete drop-down

The Discovery Search pane feature a dropdown and a search box, in which entered values are auto-completed against values from specific metadata fields. We will show you how you can include additional values in the dropdown, so they can be used for auto completion.

4. Discovery Browse: Creating new facets

Out of the box, Discovery comes with facets for Author, Subject and Date issued. We will give a step by step example of how you create a facet for an additional metadata value.

5. Special case: Creating a new date value facet

Elaborating on the example from 4. we will show you the special case of adding a new date value facet.

6. Future work discussion

In the context of DSpace 1.8, Discovery is very much work in process, with some new developments in the pipeline. We're very much looking forward to what you expect from this feature.

Looking for XMLUI translations

Hello,

I'm looking for the Catalan translation for XMLUI but I can't find it. 
The documentation[1] doesn't point to any place to download them, the 
wiki[2] suggests to check out the full DSpace SVN only to get the 
language packs (!) or to get them from the SourceForge download section, 
but I can only see old JSPUI Messages.properties there.

Please, could someone point me to the right place?

Thanks,

Re: Need Help for Dspace Rest API

Also,


The test code is expecting a HTTP 200 (OK) result for everything. Thats fine for a GET, but when you create something 201 (Created) is the usual response. So you can either make the test smarter so that when you create something it expects a 201, or to not throw errors for anything 20x.

Re: Where should personalized themes live?

Hi Mark,

Most of what we've changed in existing aspects has been very straight-forward.  I'm reluctant to add or customize essential information (contacts, feedback forms, help pages, etc.) in the theme layer.  I'd prefer this information to be available should we need to change themes or revert to a default.   Maybe that's over-cautious.

What's been more difficult is working out how to manage our local code.  Threads like this & Mark W.' s point, in a previous reply, about pluggables being developed outside the DSpace tree & configured in as needed, have been helpful -- we're relatively new to DSpace & have limited experience with Java.  

We haven't yet upgraded to 1.7 but I don't anticipate much grief, since our mods are simple & can be added back in as/where needed, post-upgrade, to the broken-out browse & search components. 

Thanks again,

Bit late to the party but I thought I'd share our approach for keeping XMLUI customizations separated from DSpace source.  Recipe #1 has worked well for us, so far, when we've needed to modify 1.6.2: 

https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSPACE/BuildCookbook

So, for example, we've cloned the vanilla ArtifactBrowser aspect in our project:

myrepo-xmlui/myrepo-xmlui-api/src/main/resources/aspects/MyArtifactBrowser

... and modified the sitemap.xmap, as needed, to point to classes in our projects, which mirror the structures of DSpace projects in the source release.  We add dependencies on our projects to the relevant POMs, build & deploy as usual.   

Yes, this is fine.  We do it as well (and as MarkW points out, this project can live outside the dspace/modules directory), we generally make that division when dealing with packaging more that one dspace instance off the same addon codebase, for instance in a consortia setting, where the same set of features need to be deployed on multiple dspaces, but there need to also be local customizations maintained to each instance (dspace/modules/...) as well.

 what would be interesting is to analyze how upgrades now impact your work.  For instance, I can say we've been reworking parts of the ArtifactBrowser aspect to break out the Browse and Search Components and to make it possible to truly drop either of those two features in favor of turning on Discovery. Has this impacted your addon?  Ideally, it shouldn't have.

Likewise, I would be curious about what were the changes you sought out to do to ArtifactBrowser, knowing what those look like would inform us as to how to improve the parts of the codebase that can be replaced locally in the manner you are doing.
 

I think, since we're working in our own projects, that we'd avoid the kind of Maven repository contamination discussed below (something that didn't occur to me, previously).

You wouldn't need to worry about it because you are releasing your customizations as your own addon to DSpace. Well done.

Best,
Mark
