Thanks to an assist from the list, I have followed the trail down the
rabbit hole and discovered, I think, why the author browse pages for an
author having an authority key is not displaying properly.
First, my setup is DSpace 1.7.1, XMLUI, Mirage theme. I have configured
dc.contributor.author as authority-controlled (but not required) -- that
is working. The config for the browse index is:
webui.browse.index.2 = author:metadata:dc.contributor.author:text
which is, I believe, the default config.
Now, in the author browse index pages, names having authority keys are
linked to the URL:
browse?authority=<authority key>&type=author
which goes to page having the title:
Browsing by Author "<authority key>"
AFAICT what is *supposed* to happen is that the choice authority's
getLabel() method is supposed to be called so that the page title shows
the label, not the authority key. It appears that this is not happening
b/c the BrowseIndex bound method isAuthorityIndex() returns true only when
the displayType equals "metadataAuthority". I tried changing the index
config to:
webui.browse.index.2 =
author:metadataAuthority:dc.contributor.author:text
but to no effect. What *does* work is to add a query parameter,
"display=metadataAuthority" to the URL!
So the question is: Is this a bug, or am I missing something in the config?
Thanks,
David
