[Dspace-tech] Browse by date in DSpace
We're about to store a large number of historical items in DSpace. The preferable way of browsing these items would be to sort them by their original creation date / year. However it seems that Dspace always sorts the items by their import date when using browse by date. Is there a way to override this?

Hi Mika, We're about to store a large number of historical items in DSpace. The preferable way of browsing these items would be to sort them by their original creation date / year. However it seems that Dspace always sorts the items by their import date when using browse by date. Is there a way to override this? In DSpace 1.5 the browse options are completely configurable to your requirements (see the substantial browse section in dspace.cfg, and let us know if something doesn't make sense). In DSpace 1.4.x you can change the bindings of the 4 given indices to the ones that you want to use. If you look in dspace.cfg you should find something like: # webui.browse.index.date = dc.date.issued # webui.browse.index.author = dc.contributor.* # webui.browse.index.title = dc.title # webui.browse.index.subject = dc.subject.* If you uncomment these lines, and set the first line equal to the date field you really want to browse by and re-index, that should do the job for you.

Hi Mika, Thanks for the info. Does this work also in Manakin interface? There is no stable manakin for 1.4.x as far as I understand, and the configurable browse is fully integrated into both jspui and xmlui in 1.5.

Hi Mika I believe you will have to change something in your theme's xsl search for issued and change to created (maybe you can use simply date) Paulo On Feb 7, 2008, at 1:13 PM, Mika Stenberg wrote: Thanks for the info.
