Oh, mea culpa... for some reason it didn't occur to me to check whether MODS-Handler was even being included in dri2xhtml.xsl -- it (and QDC-Handler) were commented out by default. (My xslt still isn't working, but I'll figure that out later!) -k. On 14 July 2010 11:54, Kim Shepherd kim.sheph

Hi Andrew, I've had a few informal discussions with people around this as well, and one approach we hit on was to create a new media-filter plugin to create access versions of PDFs, with dynamically-generated coverpages attached. The media filter plugins in DSpace are responsible for things like

Hi Wally, It looks as though you still have some 1.5.2 JSPs sitting around, which is confusing things. There was a very similar thread some weeks back (see: http://www.mail-archive.com/dspace-tech@lists.sourceforge.net/msg10128.html) which should hopefully give you some pointers. I'll also note

Re: [Dspace-tech] XMLUI aspect/Discovery

2010-08-12 Thread Kim Shepherd
Hi Mckeane, ArtifactBrowser is supposed to be commented out in dspace-discovery's xmlui.xconf, because Discovery replaces ArtifactBrowser. The reason you don't see the aspect in your usual DSpace source code is because it's in the XMLUI block in the Discovery source code, and is overlaid by Maven

Hi Vinit, Which UI are you using? XMLUI and JSPUI each generate slightly different bitstream URLs, but both do end in file extensions (if the bitstream name contains one), XMLUI just appends a ?sequence parameter on the end. They'll each have slightly different ways of modifying the way bitstream

Hi Philippe, Yes, you can use overlays (eg. the files you place in [dspace-src]/dspace/modules/jspui) for java sources, but they need to be placed in a [dspace-src]/dspace/modules/jspui/src/main/java, as opposed to the directory rather than in the [dspace-src]/dspace/modules/jspui/src/main/webapp
