I actually did exactly this. I added a column to both the Community and Collection tables entitled "local_display_order" (I use the "local" prefix on any column or table I add to the database so I can easily identify them later). Then I modified Community.java and Collection.java to new the new column to order my Communities and Collections. I use PGAdminIII to update the column to the desired number/order. Sue

But, here's some more specifics now that I know you are using JSPUI.

There is no easy way to customize Community ordering. You'd have to do custom Java development to implement this -- it'd likely also involve needing to add a column to the "community" database table to store the order. So, this is unfortunately not something that's easy to do in DSpace. It'd be extremely complex and require a lot of custom development. The only other option I can think of is to hardcode the list of communities into the "community-list.jsp" and "home.jsp" pages. [dspace-src]/dspace-jspui/dspace-jspui-webapp/src/main/webapp/community-list.jsp [dspace-src]/dspace-jspui/dspace-jspui-webapp/src/main/webapp/home.jsp But hardcoding your list of communities would not be user friendly, as you'd have to modify those JSPs & rebuild DSpace every time you wanted to add a new Community. > 2.Replace the name *subject* with *Keywords* from the Button(Subject) > during search. In the JSPUI, any text can be modified in the Messages.properties file. In this case, I believe the key you want to change in the Messages.properties file is this one: jsp.search.advanced.type.keyword = Subject Full instructions are here: https://wiki.duraspace.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=19006090 > 3.Can new fields be added to the search criteria.(apart from *title , > author* new fields like *edition , volume* etc.) Yes, you can add new search fields to DSpace by modifying the dspace.cfg file & reindexing your content. The basic instructions are here: https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSPACE/Modify+search+fields > 4.show all the metadata fields in *Simple record* rather than clicking > to the *Show Full Item Record*. And not include term *dc.* You can configure which metadata fields are displayed in the JSPUI simple record in your dspace.cfg file.
