Alexandre, After my post I got a reply from Urban Andersson at Univerisy of Gothenburg, where they have developed such a utility. With their help we have implemented a working search with XML results in DSpace. I think feature like this should definelety be included in default DSpace installation.
Below is the reply I got. Im sure Urban will share the code with the community if needed. Cheers, Mika -- Hello Mika, I have made a modification (copy) of the SimpleSearchServlet, and corresponding JSP, to have it return XML (not actual RSS, but that should be easy to adapt) instead of HTML. This is a small fix that should be easy to implement. Although I am not sure if it is sufficient for you. An example of this: http://gupea.ub.gu.se:8080/dspace/simple-search-snabbsok?query=helsinki&rpp=50&submit=Go We use this for a quick search function on our web pages: http://www.ub.gu.se/ Also we generate various DSpace RSS feeds directly from postgres SQL queries on our web pages, but that is done outside of DSpace. I have not done anything with the RSS class in DSpace. There might be some cache issues etc that you would want to look at when implementing RSS (my solution simply returns straight XML instead of the web page). Please let me know if you want to have at look at the above. / Urban - Näytä lainattu teksti - mikan.d.dspace listmail wrote: - Näytä lainattu teksti - Hi, Has anyone tried/done the following on DSpace: modify the search code so, that it would return any given search as RSS feed? This shouldn't be too hard to implement, since DSpace already contains the functionality to provide RSS feeds from a set of items. What Im hoping to achieve, is to be able to create customized feeds to author/institutional webpages (or live bookmarks) with ease. This would actually allow a creation of virtual collections of any kind very easily. If this hasnt been done before, could someone throw in a few hints on where/how to start experiencing? On a general level, Im thinking of adding a RSS parameter to search query, which would throw the search results to the class/function that creates RSS feeds and returns them to the user. Maybe a parameter for a number of returned items could be used as well. I'd like to know where can I find: 1) Class that runs/processes search and results 2) Class that creates RSS feeds Thanks for any tips, Mika ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by: SourcForge Community SourceForge wants to tell your story. http://p.sf.net/sfu/sf-spreadtheword _______________________________________________ DSpace-tech mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/dspace-tech -- Urban Andersson Digitala biblioteket / Digital library Göteborgs universitetsbibliotek / Göteborg University Library Box 222, SE 405 30 Göteborg, SWEDEN Tel: +46 (0)31 7866185 [email protected] -- 2009/6/5 Alexandre Rademaker <[email protected]>: > In January Mika posted the following question in the list.
