Re: [Dspace-tech] Alternative (dc.title.alternative) overrides the Title (dc.title ) and displays the Alternative Title as the page title for an Item

Thu, 13 Mar 2014 13:38:27 -0700

Hi,

on closer inspection, the title used in the pagetitle element doesn't come directly from the item metadata, it's set in Java code. To be precise, in DSpace 1.8.x it's here: https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/blob/dspace-1_8_x/dspace-xmlui/dspace-xmlui-api/src/main/java/org/dspace/app/xmlui/aspect/artifactbrowser/ItemViewer.java#L348 where the first Item.ANY should be null to exclude the alternative title. The location of the file changed between 1.8 and 3 but the behaviour is still the same: https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/blob/master/dspace-xmlui/src/main/java/org/dspace/app/xmlui/aspect/artifactbrowser/ItemViewer.java#L354

If you don't have the Java development resources to make this change, as a workaround you could remove the alternative title metadata value from the item and re-add it via the Edit Item -> Item Metadata screen. This _should_ ensure that the non-alternative title is found first, but no guarantees unfortunately. The code hasn't changed since 1.6, so if your 1.6 repository is showing the non-alternative title then I'd suspect the order of the two metadata values is reversed in that repository.

Sorry about leading you astray initially.

cheers,
Andrea

Hi Andea,

 

Thanks very much for your help, although I’ve tried it and doesn’t seem to work, I’m afraid.

Cheers

Thanks for the info. I think it is the page <pagetitle> element.


Oops, of course -- I hadn't spotted the "page title" in the subject :)

Yes, just change this line:
<xsl:copy-of select="/dri:document/dri:meta/dri:pageMeta/dri:metadata[@element='title']/node()"/>
to
<xsl:copy-of select="/dri:document/dri:meta/dri:pageMeta/dri:metadata[@element='title' and not(@qualifier)]/node()"/>
in your template.xsl file (line 300 of the version currently live on the ORE production server) and you should be set.

cheers,
Andrea
