Hello, All, I am replying to this post as I have the same questions. We are wanting to archive a website consisting of about 10 web pages linked to hundreds of images and a few .js and .css files. We're currently on DSpace 5.5. Since it's been four years, is it now possible to upload these files so the web pages retain their images and relative links to the other pages? We were able to upload the HTML itself without issue, but without the associated files it is not able to be a complete archive.
I am wondering if there is a way to upload a compressed set of files so they retain their relationship (.zip or .tar), or if there is a better way others out there have used. If none of that works, we will probably have to fall back to PDF files, but it would lose some of its functionality. Any suggestions would be much appreciated! -- Samuel Willis, MLS Technology Development Librarian Wichita State University Libraries 1845 Fairmount St. Wichita, KS 67260-0068 (316) 978-5104 On Monday, August 24, 2015 at 11:15:53 AM UTC-5, Richard Jones wrote: > > Hi All, > > We have just noticed that uploading an HTML file which references pictures > and also uploading the pictures themselves does not result in a renderable > HTML page when the item is viewed.
