Hi all, thanks everyone who responded for sharing your views, especially to Richard for giving additional background. Peter, I think I'll follow your lead in putting in a local customisation (thanks for sharing your code too). I'm still discussing this with my repository managers, but from looking at 2 of the 4 repositories, this should work for us:
if there is only one publicly viewable file and it's a PDF, use that one if there are several publicly viewable files and the primary bitstream is a PDF, use that one This logic would cope with Richard's scenario of "Word document as main file plus PDF as supplementary file", assuming the Word document is marked as the primary bitstream. I didn't find any items like that in my repositories that I looked at. As to helix's suggestion of making this configurable, I'd hesitate since it feels like this would add a lot of complexity for the end-user. I'll check my other two repositories; if I do end up customising this then I'm happy to share the code so that it can either go into master if people are happy with that or for others to build on. I also hope to find the time to update the DSpace documentation to make it clear what the current behaviour is. cheers, Andrea -- Dr Andrea Schweer IRR Technical Specialist, ITS Information Systems The University of Waikato, Hamilton, New Zealand ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Master SQL Server Development, Administration, T-SQL, SSAS, SSIS, SSRS and more.
