Mark,
Thanks for your reply.
Let me see if I understand the construction of the options list then.
Observations:
Each aspect has a Navigation.java class
Each Navigation.java class has a method addOptions
One of the main functions of the addOptions method (sometimes the only
function) is to add things to the options wing element though the
"options.addList()" method from "org.dspace.app.xmlui.wing.element.Options"
The addList method adds a new org.dspace.app.xmlui.wing.element.List
to "contents" which is a straight-up
java.util.ArrayList<AbstractWingElements>
Supposition from here:
These Lists are mergable and will probably merge with a
org.dspace.app.xmlui.wing.element.List previously entered into "contents"
So one way to change the order of the options is to change the order
that lists are first put into "contents"
1) One way to change the order would be to change the order you load
aspects in the xmlui.xconf
I tested this by putting the discovery aspect first. This changed the
order of the sidebar sections, however it also changed the order other main
content elements were displayed.
2) Another way to change the order (Which I fully admit is just a hack.)
is to modify the Navigation.java class for the first aspect added in the
xmlui.xconf file. In most cases this will be "ViewArtifacts"
I also tested this in a module ovelay. I modified Navigation.java
class of View Artifacts. Specifically the addOptions() method -- I changed
the order lists were added to "options.addList()" such that it looked like
the following.
options.addList("account");
options.addList("discovery");
options.addList("browse");
options.addList("context");
options.addList("administrative");
This reordered the sections in the sidebar without changing the order
of other main content elements
Like I said, the second method is a hack, but I wanted to share just in case
someone tackled ordering the sidebar elements in the future.
