Thank you, Hardy! We installed the release version. We found that our templates are located under /dspace/webapps/xmlui/themes (different from the directory you provided). We'll start from there. This should be all right, right?

For the release versions, you put your themes under: <dspace>/dspace/modules/xmlui/src/main/webapp/themes/ Where <dspace> is wherever you have your working directory for dspace (not where you're publishing it, which is generally /dspace). The sample themes for the release are easiest to find after you've run a mvn build successfully (someone please correct me if there's a better way to find them). You can find the example code in the "target" folder: <dspace>/dspace/target/dspace-1.6.2-build.dir/webapps/xmlui/themes/ (note that the specific folder will vary, based on what version you're building). There's also a pretty good presentation by Tim Donohue, written for DSpace 1.5, but applicable to 1.6, which covers the new way of doing things that came along with the switch to the mvn build tool. Here's one copy of it, there are a few other versions: http://www.slideshare.net/tdonohue/making-dspace-15-your-own-customizations-via-overlays My advice, if you're just starting out, you may want to switch to using the source version... Down the road, if you run into issues and come to the dspace-tech list for help, many times people will give you paths to files based on their own installations, and many people here use the source version. So, you'll save yourself some headaches if you just go with the source install. I'm in the process of migrating from a 1.5.1 release install, to a 1.6.2 source install, for this reason. Which is why I have the paths at the tips of my fingers. :-) --Hardy > -----Original Message----- > From: Deng, Sai [mailto:[email protected]] > Sent: Tuesday, July 27, 2010 3:40 PM > To: Pottinger, Hardy J.; [email protected] > Subject: RE: Manakin customization for 1.4.2 to 1.6.2 > > Hardy, > Thanks for the reply! > We don't have dspace-xmlui directory under dspace-source, is there > anything wrong with the installation?
