Re: [Dspace-tech] Item Permissions
Hi, This would be really great! Because my import script also creates the contents file with the license and the location of the publication. So I would only need to add one more line with the permissions. I don't think it's available in dspace code. I'm using 1.4.2 and i couldn't find any documentation regarding this issue or the meaning of the -r flag. Is there a patch available for this version? Thank you! Marcelo Citando Christine L Moulen [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Hi Marcelo, It's possible to do this through the contents file that the ItemImport uses. Following each filename for the bitstream, try adding: tabpermissions: -r 'Group name' Our programmers added this a couple of years ago, but I am not positive whether there was ever a patch to the general code base. If it doesn't work for you, I can try to find out how to get you the code.

Re: [Dspace-tech] Google Analytics - How do you set up the Site Search tracking parameters
Hi Mark, I'm using Google Analytics for a few days now, and your mail came in handy! I wasn't aware of that option to identify a search query. So, yesterday, I've activated the Site Search, and added as a query the word query, that is the name of the input box. So, on yesterday's report, I was able to see all the search strings that were made! And we can also see where was the origin request made. Since every community/collection has a search box, this method is excellent to understand where the search request was made. If it was on simple or advanced search, or if it was inside a collection. So, the item is query and it's the only one i use. But i only have a one day experience with this Site Search, and i don't know if there's another query parameters to configure. Does anyone else has any experience to share with us? Marcelo Rodrigues Hi, Has anyone out there who's using Google Analytics on their DSpace instances tried setting up the site search tracking (from within the Content section) and if so what are the Query Parameters that need to be entered to set it all up please?

[Dspace-tech] Same author, two names?
Hello, I have encountered an situation where a author may have different types of writing his name. Sometimes the name is not complete on the publication and other times he only uses the first and the last name. Imagine this case: John Grant Wood John G. Wood John Wood Despite of all these three names belonging to the same person, I cannot insert this as author in Dspace, because search by author would show 3 different persons. So, as author, I will always use it's full name, but users may want to do a search like John Wood, and this obviously will fail. I would like to add this (let's call it) author publication name, as a metadata, but I would also like to keep the dublin_core schema. Does dublin_core predicts this situation? I would really like to keep the actual schema in pure dulin_core to avoid future interoperability issues between dspace instances.

Re: [Dspace-tech] Help - is automatic group membership possible ?
I forgot to answer to the list. here goes the reply: I seem to recall reading somewhere that it is possible for users who are authorized by LDAP and auto-registered by DSpace to be automatically added to a group in DSpace at the same time as they are registered. You are almost right ;) Is this possible with LDAP authentication? As far as i know, it isn't supported in LDAP auth method. If yes, is this also possible with RADIUS authentication?? But, its supported on the Radius auth! We needed an automatic method to add people to certain groups, and since we were building RADIUS we thought that we should make it as practical as possible. So, we support auto_add feature. Let me explain how it works: When it reads the Radius answer, it looks for an radius filed called Reply-Message. If you have Group_TEST=yes in the radius answer to that user, he will be added to the group TEST. If you have Group_TEST=no, the user will be removed from that group. note: you need to create the group by hand. It was an failsafe option we made, the have control of all groups.

Re: [Dspace-tech] Reply-To Header missing - list misconfigured?
Hello! I also found this very strange, but i never complaint because the Horde Webmail has a nice feature, called Reply to List, that i use very often. Marcelo Quoting Christian Voelker [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Hello, as I am actively following the list these days I am slightly annoyed with the header settings of the list. I have got the feeling that they are misconfigured as they are. Prove me wrong if I havent got the list policy right, but that is how it looks to me right now. Other *discussion* lists (as opposed to *announce- ment* lists) I am actively participating in have the reply-to header set to the list address. Dspace-tech does not have a reply-to header and the from-line is not rewritten to the list address (and should not be). I have searched the list archive whether this had been discussed before and I am really astonished that I couldnt find anything and that everybody seems to be happy. The result of a missing reply-to header is that you have to use the reply-all function of your mail client to answer back to the list, which seems unnatural. In most cases, answers seem to be sent in private mail as implied by the missing header. As of my perception, this makes the list *more* noisy as required and renders the list archive less useful. Let me explain. If I answer simple questions that I feel capable to answer properly right now to help others that start using DSpace, I sometimes get replies such as thank you, but three others told me the same before. So three people have spent time and thought on helping beginners. What a waste. These answers start to discourage me from answering questions older then an hour or two, although I might be one of the few people reading the list at that time because I am living in the european time gap between the user groups in Asia an America. None of the three answers went to the list archive. The same question will pop up on the list again some days later. You cant simply point somebody to the list archive as usual, because it does not contain the knowledge present on the list. If I see a disclosure triangle besides a new post in the threaded view of my mailer, I dont bother to answer or read a question unless I am interested to learn about the subject myself. Most questions seem to remain unheard though. You dont know, whether they are or not. In some cases, they get reposted on dspace-general, which is the time you know that nobody took care of them. Motivation to participate actively in a list might be different, but sometimes philantropy and selfish- ness come along with each other. Being visible on the web in a list archive demonstrates a certain level of knowledge and involvement. This could foster a kind of competition to be the first to answer and help every participant to get quick responses. Last thing. When I forgot to hit reply-all, I sometimes resend it to the list when I feel it is worth it. Today I learned that this doesnt cure the issue as intended. The answer is not contained in the threaded view in the archive then. I would have to reply with reply-all a second time, copying the former answer to the new message to retain the right message id. I hope it was not too lengthy and boring. Please tell me if I have misunderstood some basic concept of this list. Bye, Christian - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

[Dspace-tech] Handle Server - passphrase
Hello! Thank you Christian. I've checked previous replies regarding to this subject. The problem is that in boot time there is no way to set this password, but shouldn't we look for a solution, instead of removing this feature? My question is: We could use the expect (EXPECT.nist.gov/) to enter this password in a script. But since the password would be in a script, it probably is the same as removing the passphrase? Or is there a slight difference?

So you have entered a passphrase where shouldnt have. However, I don't see any instructions in the documentation on how to provide passphrase to handle server. Thats the reason why you should not use a passphrase. No chance to enter it at boot time. Sorry. I dont know the steps how to remove the passphrase but encryption uses standard algorithms and there should be some tool around to remove the passphrase (given that you still know it). I would search for it in the openssl suite of tools. This would save you from creating a new sitebundle and bothering CNRI people. Hope, this helps. - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

Re: [Dspace-tech] Having A Sub-Community Collection appear in 2 Communities?

Re: [Dspace-tech] Having A Sub-Community Collection appear in 2 Communities?
Hello, Yes, in fact, the delete issue is the most important. Let me explain what happens in my case. Lets suppose this Communities example: - Books (community) =Comedy (sub-community) Magazines (community) =Sport (sub-community) =Comedy (sub-community) - If i try to delete Books or Magazines entire community I get a PSQLException, which makes sense, because of the foreign key constraint. But, when deleting only Comedy-Magazines, will cause the deletion of Comedy, but in Books category. So, only removes the reference to the first father. Comedy still remains, but this time like this: - Books (community) Magazines (community) =Sport (sub-community) =Comedy (sub-community) - When deleting for Comedy for the second time, since there is no other father, the delete is successfully made. So, i would not advise this little hack unless anyone is using stable communities with very little changes in its structure. But any comments and opinions would be appreciated! Marcelo Quoting Richard Rodgers [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Hi Marcelo: The sub-community functionality was designed as a single-parent model. I'd need to study the code/DB schema to see what potential problems there may be, but one question springs to mind immediately: What behavior do you want when (one of) the parents is deleted? Normally DSpace deletes everything below a community (sub-communities, collections, etc) I assume you would want any sub-community that has more than one parent to *not* be deleted. Is this true with your modified code? Thanks, Richard R On Fri, 2007-07-20 at 22:45 +0100, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi! I have the some problem.
