Hi Srijan, This is right for version 1.8.2, so I'm not sure if it's useful for other versions, but I guess it is.
A) WHICH FILE Most of the "Messages" shown on the front end come from a file named "Messages.properties" or "Messages_xx.properties" where "xx" is a language code (for example "Messages_es.properties" for Spanish, "Messages_de.properties" for German). You need one for each language you support. B) WHERE DOES THE FILE COME FROM The problem is (or at least it was MY problem), that these files do not come by default; I had to download them from https://svn.duraspace.org/dspace/modules/dspace-api-lang/tags/dspace-api-lang-1.8.0.3/src/main/resources/ C) WHAT TO CHANGE IN THE FILE . In the Messages.properties you will find all the messages defined, like browse.page-title = Browsing DSpace browse.et-al = et al browse.type.metadata.author = Author browse.type.metadata.subject = Subject browse.type.item.title = Title browse.type.item.dateissued = Issue Date browse.type.item.dateaccessioned = Submit Date itemlist.dc.date.issued = Issue Date itemlist.dc.title = Title etc. So you will have to modify the file and include there all the new metadata fields you have defined, each in a new line. For example: itemlist.hmo.title = Srijan style title You will probably need to define the message for the individual record display: metadata.hmo.title = Srijan style title Anyway, whenever you see something like ???itemlist.hmo.title??? , it means you have to define that parameter in the Message.properties file. D) WHERE DOES THE FILE GO TO In production path, the files live in this directory (supposing the dspace root path is /dspace/ ) /dspace/webapps/jspui/WEB-INF/classes/ So I have for instance these two files, in order to support both english and spanish languages: /dspace/webapps/jspui/WEB-INF/classes/Messages.properties /dspace/webapps/jspui/WEB-INF/classes/Messages_es.properties But since you will have to execute "maven" and "ant", you will have to put the Messages.properties or Messages_xx.properties in the SOURCE path: [your path]/dspace-1.8.2-src-release/dspace/modules/jspui/src/main/resources/ At least it works for me. E) BONUS TRACK :) Now, regarding the link to the individual item's record, as far as my experience goes, the only metadata that links to the individual item is dc.title! And that is hardcoded in the java programs!!! No mention in the manual, no information from the list, no parameter available to change. (Somebody please prove me wrong!) So far, I have identified these two files [path]/dspace-1.8.2-src-release/dspace-jspui/dspace-jspui-api/src/main/java/org/dspace/app/webui/jsptag/BrowseListTag.java [path]/dspace-1.8.2-src-release/dspace-jspui/dspace-jspui-api/src/main/java/org/dspace/app/webui/jsptag/ItemListTag.java Line 490 of BrowseListTag.java : // format the title field correctly (as long as the item isn't withdrawn, link to it) else if (field.equals(titleField)) { metadata = "<a href=\"" + hrq.getContextPath() + "/handle/" + items[i].getHandle() + "\">" + Utils.addEntities(metadataArray[0].value) + "</a>"; } I guess I have the same problem as you do, for using a custom metadata schema. So you will have to KEEP using the dc.title field in order to link to the individual item. Or find a workaround in the java files. I didn't go so far as modifying the programs, but it guess it should be possible to modify it. Although quite a "get you hands dirty" solution... It would be a most useful feature to be able to define metadatas that lead to the individual item... At least for me and you. I wonder if that feature would be useful to anybody else. I sincerely hope this is useful to you.
