Shane, Thanks for the information, but I have other collections that do use the dc.title properly. I don't want to change this for the entire site, but just for the custom collection. I have thought of a way to do what I am wanting, but I would prefer it if I don't have to do it this way.. and that is...
I could change the collection to use a custom metadata field that is part of dc.title (ex. dc.title.species instead of hr.title.species). Then in the dspace.cfg file I could change webui.browse.index.title from dc.title to dc.title.* This would do what I want, but instead I would rather have dc.title populated for the items in this collection automatically from the data input into hr.title.species Chad ________________________________________ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, January 31, 2008 11:52 AM To: Chad Hansen Cc: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Dspace-tech] Custom metadata submission forms Chad: This is done in your dspace.cfg, and you probably want to change it in a variety of places. First is the item display itself. In the "webui.itemdisplay.default =" area of the .cfg, the different metadata elements are listed. The slashes separate the individual pieces of information, the commas are all the elements that will be used for that piece of information. You can replace the dc.title element with the one of your choosing. You likely will want to change this a bit further down in your dspace.cfg in the "webui.itemlist.columns =" area as well, which will change how the title is displayed when browsing. You will probably also want to change the way the indexing works, to use your title element instead of dc.title.
