[Dspace-tech] item mapper

2009-09-23 Thread Lyn Amery
Hi all,

 

I have a real need to use item mapper, but I don't make use of

any author field, so can't browse the items.  I've tried changing 

itemmap.author.index in dspace.cfg to other browse fields, but

I still get blank results in item mapper.

 

Is there another way to use item mapper?  Could I use some sort

of command-line, rather than the menu-y, web-based method?

 

Cheers,

Lyn

[Dspace-tech] Batch ingest of embargo items

2009-07-06 Thread Lyn Amery
At the risk of sounding ungrateful for now being able to use the Embargo

code, I'm wondering if it is possible to set the embargo state and time

period during batch ingestion.  I've been using [dspace]/bin/import to

ingest whole collections at once.  Placing embargoes on restricted items


will be common in my organisation.

 

Perhaps there is some other batch ingestion mechanism I should look

at using?  If not, I'm not complaining about having to set an embargo on


each item manually.  Having the embargo code working is a great benefit,


whatever the cost.

Ugh! Reading Java makes my brain hurt.

You do appear to be correct! The patched
dspace-api/src/main/java/org/dspace/browse/BrowseEngine.java has the
embargo stuff in the browseByValue method from line 536 (of the
patched file). I've copied those lines (536-566) to a similar spot in
the preceding browseByItem method (line 366) and commented them out in
the browseByValue method.

I can now browse by Author, Subject as well as Titles.

Thank you Jim!

[Dspace-tech] Retry: Files in this item

2009-05-18 Thread Lyn Amery
Hi all,

 

I didn't get any feedback on this, so I'll try again.

 

DSpace 1.5.2, using XMLUI

 

 

On the "Simple item record" page, in the listing of "Files in this
item",

are the headings File, Size, View, Format and Description.  I've managed


to get rid of "View", but can't see any way to get rid of "Format".  It
seems

to be caught up in the following bit of code from dri2xhtml:

 



  

  



 

I'm assuming that one of the "templates" alluded to is responsible for
fields 

of the file listing?  Any way I can change them?  Or at least change the
order?

 

My problem is that "Description" is much more relevant to us than
"Format", but

using both clutters up the listing, forcing the use of a horizontal
scroll bar which

is not very obvious for long listings of files.

 

Cheers,

Lyn

Hi all,

 

When a client browses through the DSpace website, through communities

giving details

of that collection.  Is it possible to have an automatic listing of

Rather than having to click on the browse category "title" under "This

[Dspace-tech] Titles for bitstreams

2009-04-23 Thread Lyn Amery
Hi all,

 

Is it possible to add a bit more metadata for an item's bitstream,

beyond the usual  "filename | size | format"?  I'm thinking especially

of including a title for the bitstream.  I will have cases where the
item 

contains a dozen or even hundreds of bitstreams and, unless the file 

name is descriptive enough, clients will have to open multiple
bitstreams 

in hopes of lucking across the one they're looking for.  I'm also toying

with the idea of providing different resolution versions of large
images,

and being able to indicate the resolution clearly for each bitstream
would 

be a definite plus.

 

I'm using XMLUI, by the way on version 1.5.1.

 

Cheers,

Lyn

I suspect you are also ending up with the group in the Items
MUTATE_META or the parent collections "COLLECTION_NNN_ADMIN"
permissions. These would allow that group to edit the metadata as
well. Check the Policies in the Collection Edit view or the Item Edit
view to see which groups map to which policies/actions.  If you post

[Dspace-tech] READ on groups

2009-04-15 Thread Lyn Amery
 

Hi all,

 

I have certain items which must be restricted to particular clients.

On the item, I've set the authorization Item Policy to READ for a

particular group only.  This has - partially - the desired effect, as

a search reveals the item exists, but only members of the group 

can look at it.

 

The problem is that those group members can go into the item's

metadata and change it.  Surprising.  They musn't be able to modify

anything, only view the item.  Is this the way it's designed to work?

 

My apologies if this has been discussed - I seem to recall something

similar - but I'm unable to search the list archives at SourceForge.

Always says it can't connect to the search server.

lyn.am...@sro.wa.gov.au


I'm not overly familiar with metadata schemas and their 
possible uses.  I'm wondering if I might make use of the
"relation" fields, e.g. dc.relation.ispartof for the
following situation.


We collect archival material from state agencies.  In our
previous repository application, we were able to maintain
a linkage between current agency and its predecessors.  
Government agencies often change their names and areas
of responsibility - for example, the Survey Office became
the Dept of Lands and Surveys, then it's function was 
taken over by the Dept of Lands, etc...  The hope is that 
when someone searches for survey maps of a particular region 
within the Dept of Lands and Surveys, maps from the Survey 
Office and the Dept of Lands will also be listed without the
client having to stipulate these in his search or even being 
aware that he needs to.

The agency name will be the name of the collection and will 
also be included as a metadata field for each item in every 
collection.  Is it possible to use a dc.relation field at 
either the collection or item level to link searches in this
way?

Lyn

Re: [Dspace-tech] Browse index on new DC field

2009-02-25 Thread Lyn Amery
I've heard nothing back on this one.  I'm still having the problem and
it is

just about to drive me insane.  I've carefully rebuilt and restarted
everything,

the database, dspace, the server... and run index-init, but nothing
seems to 

help.  As soon as I put in any data in one of the new browse fields, I
get 

a bunch of stacktraces.  I *must* be missing something.

 

As far as I can tell from the system doc, all I should have to do is add
the

webui.browse.index.[n] line to dspace.cfg, run index-init and it should
just

work.  Am I wrong?  (I've also tried rebuilding dspace, restarting
tomcat 

and the database afterwards, but no change.)

 

My next option is to rebuild from the release version and hope that
works.

It would be unfortunate however, as I really needed  the embargo

functionality, and that has to be applied as a patch to the source code.

 

Any ideas or suggestions welcome.

stating

 

An error has occured

I had this feature running on a test system which I put together with
the

[Dspace-tech] Modify Display - Manakin

2009-01-20 Thread Lyn Amery
 

I'm having no luck with modifying the default display for items (search 

results, browsing results, etc) using Manakin/xmlui.  I've been
following

the How-To Guide, but it's for DSpace 1.4.2/Manakin 1.1 and I've 

installed DSpace 1.5.1.  Much of the document is obviously out of date.


Even the 1.5.1 manual seems to be behind.  It often refers to
directories 

and executables which don't exist.

 

I've searched for more recent versions and have made endless searches

of dspace.org and the wiki, but I'm getting nowhere.

 

It looks like these sorts of changes really shouldn't be that hard to
do.

 

Is there a stash of updated documentation somewhere that I have

missed?

 

 

Cheers,

Lyn

[Dspace-tech] Restrict until date

2009-01-13 Thread Lyn Amery
Hi all,

 

I know it's possible to restrict access to an item in DSpace, but is it
possible to do

so only until a specified date?  Thereafter it would go public?  Or is
that something 

I'd need to update manually when the date had arrived or perhaps modify
via some 

command?

 

Lyn

[Dspace-tech] xmlui versus jspui

2009-01-08 Thread Lyn Amery
I'm new to DSpace, setting up an archives repository.  I'm reasonably
technical, 

but not overly experienced in web development or the technologies
utilised therein.

 

I'll need to adapt DSpace to suit my agency's needs.  As a first step,
I'm trying

to decide whether to go with the JSP or XML (Manakin) interface.  I've
yet to 

find any discussions on what the advantages are of one to the other.  As
a 

newbie, would one be simpler to modify?  Are there things which one does
or 

doesn't do particularly well?

 

Thanks for any suggestions!

 

Cheers,

Lyn
