Works fine and looks good to customize collection simple items records. For testing, for a collection named "test" and holding an id 123456789/256 I added
webui.itemdisplay.test = dc.title webui.itemdisplay.test.collections = 123456789/256 to the config file and works fine. thanks shane regards, jayan -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Shane Beers Sent: Friday, February 01, 2008 4:04 AM To: Chad Hansen Cc: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Dspace-tech] Custom metadata submission forms You can set this on a per-collection basis, however. It's just kind of kludgy... Directly under the webui.itemdisplay.default = section, you will see a section that is commented out: # Specify which collections use which views by Handle. # # webui.itemdisplay.<style>.collections = <collection handle>, ... Under here, you can include a line such as: webui.itemdisplay.<customname> = ####/#### (whatever the handle and collection number would be for the collection) This corresponds to a matching webui.itemdisplay.<customname> section that you include in the appropriate section with the default one.
