I mentioned earlier that I was experiencing a broken layout while using a
customized Reference theme on DSpace 3.1 (no discovery), wherein the ds-options
div was contained within ds-body, with the misapprehension that it had to do
with the number of recent submissions. Thinking it was a problem with my
customized Reference theme, I decided that the best solution was to move to the
Mirage theme, which did not appear to have this issue. However the Mirage theme
caused instability in my installation (never figured out why), so I was forced
back to the Reference theme since I was in a production down situation. I
decided it would be easier to start fresh than to find and fix the bug in the
previous customized theme, so I went about customizing a fresh copy of
Reference. However, I soon found out that the bug persisted in my new theme, so
I reverted to a stock Reference theme and discovered that the bug was still
present. This lead me to messing around with the collection metadata to see if
I could find out what was different from those that worked, and to see if I
could find a workaround. And I succeeded.
It turns out the problematic fields are a combination of the license field and
the copyright field. If both fields are blank or both fields have a value,
everything works just fine. However, if there is something in the license
field, but nothing in the copyright field, things break. Looking at the source
of the page while broken, it's clear that the problem is the
.detail-view-rights-and-license div that is being self closed when there is no
copyright information, resulting in <div
class="detail-view-rights-and-license" />. Self-closing divs are not valid
xhtml, so the browsers are not closing the div properly, resulting in all
content being subsumed by the ds-body div.
I have been unable to determine how exactly that div is being created as yet,
so I haven't got a real fix for the problem, but I did come up with a
workaround: ensure that those collections with license info have something
(anything, really) in the copyright field, and then I hide the div with css.
This preserves the layout and license, while not cluttering up the page with an
undesired copyright message.
