But how does it get from that file to the page? -----Original Message----- From: Walker, David [mailto:dwal...@calstate.edu] Sent: Thursday, October 07, 2010 10:58 AM To: Blanco, Jose; Tim Donohue Cc: dspace-tech@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: RE: [Dspace-tech] manikin question
Hi Jose, Text labels are not set in the XSLT, but rather are defined in the i18n/messages.xml file. --Dave ================== David Walker Library Web Services Manager California State University http://xerxes.calstate.edu ________________________________________ From: Blanco, Jose [blan...@umich.edu] Sent: Thursday, October 07, 2010 7:20 AM To: Tim Donohue Cc: dspace-tech@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [Dspace-tech] manikin question I'm really having a hard time with this. In order to understand the code a bit more, I'm trying to find the line in the themes dir that would put the message "Find Itme" in the url: http://dspace-test-area/admin/item So I looked at http://dspace-test-area/DRI/admin/item which contains: <document version="1.1"> − <body> − <div id="aspect.administrative.item.FindItemForm.div.find-item" interactive="yes" rend="primary administrative item" action="/admin/item" n="find-item" method="get"> <head>Find Item</head> So I figure I need to look for some match on the dri:div where id="aspect.administrative.item.FindItemForm.div.find-item" But I can't find it. I have tried removing code to see if I can find it that way, but after a whole day of it, I can't find it. How does 'Find Item' make it to the browser window. Thank you!

There is not a single template that renders the entire middle of the page. It's rendered by several templates working together. So, if you take a look closely, the middle part of the page is a giant table (with class="ds-table"). If you dig into the dri2xhtml.xsl file, you'll see it just loads several other XSLs in the /dri2xhtml/ folder. In this case, you are looking for templates that generate the structure of the page -- so, you'd look in /dri2xhtml/structural.xsl (the *-Handler.xsl files all deal more with displaying actual metadata values from the METS files which are generated by Manakin, so you'd look there if you wanted to customize what metadata values are being displayed on a particular page). In the structural.xsl file, there is one main template that gets called for <dri:table> contents: <xsl:template match="dri:table"> But, notice that template calls several other XSL templates in the file, by using the <xsl:apply-templates> or <xsl:call-template> tag. So, depending on what you are looking to change, you may need to follow the logic between the templates. Sometimes the easiest way to find a very specific template is to looking closely at the resulting XHTML that you want to change. Especially looking at specific @class attributes on HTML elements. Oftentimes you can search for those @class attribute values in the XSL templates to find where they are being generated. For example, in this case, you are looking at a big HTML table with a class="ds-table". If you search for "ds-table" in the structural.xsl, it will jump you right to the template that generates that content. (In some cases that @class attribute may exist in multiple templates, so you'd have to figure out which one you really need to change. But, in this example, it's only one place in the structural.xsl file) Hope that helps, - Tim On 9/30/2010 9:03 AM, Blanco, Jose wrote: > Tim, > > Thanks for your reply.
