Ideally, we think it’s better user interface to inform users that the item is embargoed, and even not taunt them with a link until that is lifted. Otherwise, users are denied access without obvious reason (and will probably contact us about it).   So we really want to edit the single item display page to mark embargoed items much more clearly for users. My jspui experience is a few years old -- but might it work to change the logic in the displayItem method in HandleServlet, similar to what's done for withdrawn items? See here: https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/blob/dspace-3_x/dspace-jspui/src/main/java/org/dspace/app/webui/servlet/HandleServlet.java#L298 except you'd have another if clause to check whether the item is embargoed according to your legacy definition of embargoed, which may or may not involve EmbargoManager.getEmbargoTermsAsDate(context,item) != null If that condition is fulfilled, pass the user on to either the same tombstone page as for withdrawn items (or a different one if you prefer) like so: JSPManager.showJSP(request, response, "/tombstone.jsp"); return; This approach feels a little cleaner to me than messing with extra conditionals in display-item.jsp. Actually, never mind me -- I was going by our local definition of "embargo", which means the entire item is suppressed. If you "only" want to remove the link to the files on the item page of an embargoed item, your best bet is to modify the listBitstreams() method in ItemTag.java: https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/blob/dspace-3_x/dspace-jspui/src/main/java/org/dspace/app/webui/jsptag/ItemTag.java#L754 -- exactly what you need to do depends on whether you have items where only some files are embargoed but others are visible. cheers, Andrea -- Dr Andrea Schweer IRR Technical Specialist, ITS Information Systems The University of Waikato, Hamilton, New Zealand
