[Dspace-tech] JSPUI metadata and iput customization
Hi, I am in the process of setting up a new repository with DSpace. I have created a custom metadata entry form by editing input-forms.xml and it seems to work fine when submitting items. I have 2 problems however: (a) When a user tries to view the item (by selecting show full item record), it shows the DC field names as labels instead of the labels I have entered (e.g. dc.coverage.spatial when I wanted it to show Country). How can I get it to display the labels I want? (b) I notice that the input form is not available when I Edit the item. I just get a default metadata entry form. Based on what I've read, that seems to be the intended behaviour, but does anyone know of a workaround or customization to address this? I have spent a lot of time reading available documentation and googling these issues, but haven't found the solution. If there is some documentation I may have missed please let me know.

[Dspace-tech] Customise Metadata in submission forms
hello everybody, i am using dspace 1.6 on windows 2003 with jspui mode. i have included table of contents in my input forms. i have created a text area for it, but it accepts the data in simple format. My point is that: i want to insert table of contents in that field, and it will also show the table of contents in the same formatting rather simple text. for example, i enter: Chapter TitlePage chapter 1.Introduction 5 chapter 2.Background study 10 chapter 3.Research Problem 20 it shows the same table of contents as: Chapter Title Pagechapter 1. Introduction 5 chapter 2. Background study 10 chapter 3. Research Problem 20 can anybody help ? I am interested to show table of Contents in item display. waiting for your replies.

Re: [Dspace-tech] how to upgrade handle server after upgrade from rrelease 1.6.1 to 1.6.2
Hi Admire, If the machine hasn't change you can basically follow the steps in 3.4.4. The Handle Server documentation without generating a new sitebndl.zip, use the old one. Basically, you ignore step 3 of the installation. Just use your existing prefix. Then you got to stop the handle-server from your 1.6.1 and start the handle server from your 1.6.2 installation. That's what I've done to update my 1.5.2 to 1.6.2 handle server and it worked fine. Hope that helps Cheers César Sabater 2010/12/8 amutsikiwa amutsik...@uzlib.uz.ac.zw Hi I have upgraded my dspace instance from release 1.6.1 to 1.6.2 to fix the handle server issue as mentioned in http://www.duraspace.org/node/946. Now I am at a loss as on how to update the handle application. Should I copy the handle file from [dspace-source]/dspace/bin to the [dspace]/bin directory?

Re: [Dspace-tech] Customise Metadata in submission forms
Hi Amjeeko, The textarea accepts plain text, so if you want to add styling and formating, then you'll need to hand-code the HTML to make your data line up properly. In your use case, it looks like the HTML TABLEhttp://www.w3schools.com/html/html_tables.asp would work the easiest. Other websites that preserve formatting would have some sort of built in WYSIWYG editor. That could be something you could consider customizing your JSPUI to make it easier for people to style their input. -- Peter Dietz Systems Developer/Engineer Ohio State University Libraries On Wed, Dec 8, 2010 at 6:55 AM, AMJAD USMAN amjad...@hotmail.com wrote: hello everybody, i am using dspace 1.6 on windows 2003 with jspui mode. i have included table of contents in my input forms. i have created a text area for it, but it accepts the data in simple format.

Re: [Dspace-tech] Slow response to submitting/deleting items and editing metadata
Hi Andrea, Thanks for the information! That worked perfectly. For documentation's sake I want to clear up one thing, namely that the write.lock file is not one of the files in /var/dspace/search that gets updated when items are added/edited/deleted. It is created when there is an interruption of some kind. (You may have meant this, Andrea, but I wanted to make sure it was stated explicitly.) This thread talks about that in more detail: http://www.mail-archive.com/dspace-tech@lists.sourceforge.net/msg10873.html Spencer Re: [Dspace-tech] Slow response to submitting/deleting items and editing metadata Andrea Schweer Tue, 07 Dec 2010 12:15:49 -0800 Hi Spencer, On 08/12/10 09:00, Spencer Lamm wrote: We're running DSpace 1.5.1 and Postgres 8.1.11 on a Linux machine. In the last week we've been experiencing significant slowdowns; it now takes about 30 seconds to add or delete items or metadata. If anybody has suggestions for how to start tackling this, they would be greatly appreciated. To date, we have done the following: I was having similar issues with one of my DSpace instances the other day. In my case it turned out that there was a stale lock file in the index directory, which led to delays when DSpace tried (and failed) to update the search/browse indexes. Have a look in your [dspace]/search directory (or wherever else your search.dir parameter in dspace.cfg points to). In particular, check - when the files in the directory were last modified (as far as I know, these files should be updated basically whenever you add/delete an item or change an item's metadata) - whether there is a file in that directory with the extension .lock or .lck (sorry I can't remember which one it was) I could solve this by manually deleting the lock file and then manually updating the indexes once ([dspace]/bin/index-update). Also, make sure you always update the indexes as the standard dspace user (in our case tomcat, but I think it'd be dspace if you followed the standard installation instructions) so that the file permissions in [dspace]/search are correct. Incorrect permissions for this directory and its files may be another reason for the delays you're seeing, if indeed they are linked to index updates.

[Dspace-tech] Dspace install for dummies
Folks - We are using Dspace at the library I work at and it has worked reasonably well, but lately, it's been stopping a lot, and needing to be constantly rebooted (like more than daily). I am not sure what I did to cause the problem, so I would like to reinstall it, but I can't seem to find the instructions that I used to set up our server (a VM running in Virtual Box). I tried the instructions that started here: http://wiki.lib.sun.ac.za/index.php/SUNScholar/Install_Ubuntu but when it came time to run ant fresh_install, there was no directory that matches what the instructions talk about (/home/dspace/dspace-1.6.2-src-release/dspace/target/dspace-1.6.2-build.dir). Is there anywhere on the web a set of fool-proof instructions on how to install Dspace in Ubuntu server (I'm using Ubuntu 10.04.1-server at the moment). I have to tell you guys, if I can't get it to work, my boss is going to make us abandon Dspace in favor of software that we are going to have to pay for. I'm not a linux noob. Why is it so hard to install?
