Hi Joyner, See publication.component.ts <https://github.com/DSpace/dspace-angular/blob/main/src/themes/custom/app/item-page/simple/item-types/publication/publication.component.ts> from the custom theme. The call to @listableObjectComponent adds PublicationComponent to the list of objects which DSpace can render dynamically. If the first argument to @listableObjectComponent is the same as the field dspace.entity.type, then it will render the component in the resulting HTML. Keep in mind that the last argument must be the theme name, since you can have multiple components depending on the theme. This is covered briefly in adding custom component <https://wiki.lyrasis.org/display/DSDOC8x/User+Interface+Customization#UserInterfaceCustomization-AddingComponentDirectoriestoyourTheme> which you might find helpful. Another point is that it doesn't matter the folder path of the component (there are ones in item-page/ and entity-group/ which I think you've noticed.)
I also found modifying the HTML of different components to be helpful to see which one is rendering. -Andrew On Wednesday, November 19, 2025 at 9:04:20 AM UTC+11 Joyner Library wrote: > Dear DSpace community, > > Please recommend additional configuration to fully implement a data entity > type. > > My library wants to add another entity type called data or data catalog. > We will link to the data in other databases.
