Dear Members,
i would like to ask some questions about the browsing functionality and
its behaviour on this list.
My main concern is whether certain behavior of the browsing
functionality has been consciously implemented in this way or whether it
is rather a bug.
I expected the following behavior:
When I click on a letter I want to see only authors that begin with that
letter.
If no author exists with this letter, I expect an empty list.
My DevVM uses the following software versions:
- DSpace 6.3 Snapshot
- SLES 12
- Tomcat 7.0.85
- Postgres 9.6.4
In my test instances there are submissions with the authors
- Funke, Hans
- Hoch, Lutz
- Insel, Gustav
- Roller, Thomas
- Römer, Bernd
"Hoch, Lutz" and "Insel, Gustav" are authors of a submission.
"Roller, Thomas" and "Funke, Hans" are also authors of a submission.
1) When a user clicks on Browse by author, he or she will first see all
authors in alphabetical order. If the user then chooses the list of
authors starting with 0-9, the same list will continue to be displayed.
Shouldn't an empty list be displayed here?
2) If the user then clicks on the letter "H" the list will be displayed.
- Hoch, Lutz [1]
- Insel, Gustav [1]
- Roller, Thomas [1]
- Römer, Bernd [1]
Here I would expect only the author "Hoch, Lutz" as a result.
3) If the user clicks on the letter "M", the list will appear.
- Roller, Thomas [1]
- Römer, Bernd [1]
I'd expect an empty list here, too.
4) Then the letter "D" was selected and the list appears.
- Funke, Hans [1]
- Hoch, Lutz [1]
- Insel, Gustav [1]
- Roller, Thomas [1]
- Römer, Bernd [1]
I would expect an empty list.
5) The user then clicks on the letter "I" to get the list
- Insel, Gustav [1]
- Roller, Thomas [1]
- Römer, Bernd [1]
I was expecting the list
- Insel, Gustav [1]
here
This game can be continued as you wish. Usually I rarely get the
expected result.
Is this behavior correct or are these rather bugs in the browser classes
(api+xmlui)?
I look forward to your answers.
Regards,
Stefan
