Hi,

 

I'm trying to modify how the collection list is displayed in the first step of 
the submission process. 

 

I'm aware of the Manakin solution proposed on the DSpace wiki: 
(http://wiki.dspace.org/index.php/Change_the_way_the_collection_list_is_displayed_in_submit_link_%28Manakin%29).
 

 

But we are currently running DSpace 1.5.1 with the JSPUI interface and have a 
different problem.

 

We are implementing mandatory ETD submission in the fall and will be increasing 
the number of Thesis & Dissertations collections in the repository. There will 
be a collection for each faculty or department administrative process. (I would 
say around 25 different collections.)

 

We currently repeat the name of the community in the collection name for all 
the other collections in the repository. (i.e. "Faculty/Department XYZ - 
Publications")

 

I was thinking of inverting this so that all thesis collections start with 
"Thesis & Dissertations - Faculty/Department XYZ". That way, they would all 
show up at the end of the collection list grouped together. (Easier for the 
students to find.)

 

So, any solutions or ideas on displaying the list of collections in a better 
way would be appreciated. If you see any future problems with my proposed 
solution, I would appreciate the heads up.

 

Thanks for reading 'till the end! :o)
