Tim Donohue commented on DS-996:
--------------------------------
Hi Mark,
It might be worth taking a small step back here, as I think there's several
things happening in these tickets that have branched off from DS-587 (including
DS-996 and DS-1004). Some of those things may be rather obvious to add to
1.8.0, and some may be controversial (which you made a good point about).
First, the seemingly non-controversial proposals:
(1) Actually add an XMLUI Tombstone page (one currently does not exist at all)
(2) Perhaps give people the ability to add their own "default" reason/extra
info to *every* tombstone page (this would be just a simple Messages.properties
or messages.xml key).
As you've pointed out, the main area of controversy is:
(3) Whether we allow for a custom 'reason' message on each withdrawn item (via
Richard's metadata based method), or wait for a better implementation after
1.8.0.
I just wanted to make this clear.
I'd hate if #1 (lack of an XMLUI tombstone page) was overlooked because of
other issues (as I'd actually consider this a bug).
#2 may or may not be as useful without custom withdrawal reasons, but it could
be worth discussing as a "basic feature" that would be non-controversial.
Obviously it only gives you the ability to add a default reason for everything,
but maybe that's still a worthwhile feature?
#3 is the real area of controversy here, which you have major concerns
with...if we want to wait on this until after 1.8.0, that's fine.
> Add optional reason text to tombstone page

>
> Key: DS-996
> URL: https://jira.duraspace.org/browse/DS-996
> Project: DSpace
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: JSPUI
> Affects Versions: 1.8.0
> Reporter: Richard Rodgers
> Assignee: Richard Rodgers
> Attachments: handle-servlet.patch, msgs.patch, tombstone.patch
>
>
> Following the work at UMich (DS-587), this patch will cause the value of any
> configured item metadata field on the withdrawn item's tombstone page to
> display.
> It is configured by the optional property
> 'webui.tombstone.reason=<metadatafield>' in dspace.cfg
> If configuration property is not defined, the tombstone will appear without a
> reason display area.
> If a given item lacks a value for configured metadata field, the reason
> displayed will be the value of the message: 'jsp.tombstone.noreason'
> The prompt before the reason text is the value of the message:
> 'jsp.tombstone.reason'
> Patches below
