Hi Tonny, I've extended the UI on some of my local sites to show embargo status (to admins) prominently at the top of item record pages.. you could probably use org.dspace.embargo.EmbargoManager.getEmbargoDate(context, item) and check for a non-null result, but ultimately the best way is probably to extend EmbargoManager with some good checker functions for use by UIs (rather than CLI).
The thing to remember is that EmbargoManager only knows an item is embargoed by checking for valid embargo lift date metadata, making sure the value is not in the past, and checking item/bitstream authorization policies. Checking the lift date is the key to identifying items under embargo. (but could easily be susceptible to false positives if you have a lot of people editing item metadata frequently) Cheers, Kim > -----Original Message----- > From: Tonny Hjelmberg Laursen [mailto:thl....@cbs.dk] > Sent: Thursday, 27 May 2010 6:44 a.m. > To: dspace-tech@lists.sourceforge.net > Subject: [Dspace-tech] How to show the user,that there are embargo on > an item. > > The new embargo feature in version 1.6 is very needed, since 50% of the > items we have in one of our arhcives are confidential. > > But I think we need to add a way, so the user can see theres embargo on > an item.
