Hi, I'm dotting an 'i' with this message... I have found that the approach detailed here:
http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg04894.h tml works splendidly for serving static DRI pages (like a help page, an about page, etc.). All that's required is adding the code from the message above, to an overlay of the ArtifactBrowser/sitemap.xmap. More info on how to set up an aspect overlay can be found in Tim Donohue's presentation http://www.dspace.org/images/Training_Materials/or2008-1.5training.pdf and in our exchange on the topic from earlier today. I did tweak the sitemap.xmap code a tiny bit, from that message, so I'm including it here, in case it helps anyone. I put this snippet of code after the chunk that deals with the feedback form. <!-- Shoehorn in static pages, like help, about, etc. --> <map:match pattern="pages/**"> <map:act type="DSpacePropertyFileReader"> <map:parameter name="dspace.dir" value="dspace.dir" /> <map:transform type="Include" src="file://{dspace.dir}/config/pages/{../1}.xml" /> </map:act> <map:serialize type="xml"/> </map:match> Then, just link to [dspace.url]/pages/your_page and the contents of [dspace.dir]/config/pages/your_page.xml will be transformed and displayed for you. Hooray! Here's an example of the DRI, from our about.xml: <document xmlns="http://di.tamu.edu/DRI/1.0/"; xmlns:i18n="http://apache.org/cocoon/i18n/2.1"; version="1.1"> <body> <div id="file.news.div.news" n="news" rend="primary"> <head>About Our Repository</head> <p>As soon as we're sure this is working, this will serve as an introduction to Our Repository.</p> </div> </body> <meta> <pageMeta> <metadata element="title">About Our Repository</metadata> <trail target="/xmlui">Repository Home</trail> </pageMeta> </meta> </document> HTH --Hardy > -----Original Message----- > From: Dorothea Salo [mailto:[email protected]] > Sent: Wednesday, February 18, 2009 2:34 PM > To: Dspace Tech > Subject: Re: [Dspace-tech] adding static pages to a DSpace > site using xmlui > > On Wed, Feb 18, 2009 at 2:13 PM, Pottinger, Hardy J. > <[email protected]> wrote: > > > At your suggestion, I have tried substituting > <xsl:apply-templates /> in > > place of <xsl:copy-of />, again with multiple permutations > of path.
