Hi Sarah,
this is correct. The value is set in
org.dspace.browse.BrowseScope.java
public BrowseScope(Context context)
{
this.context = context;
scope = null;
focus = null;
total = 21;
numberBefore = 3;
}
as numberBefore.
This is usual index behavior to show the surroundings too, so the user got
a better point of orientation.
sunny greetings

I noticed that when you are browsing by title, author, etc and you use the
jump to feature along the top of the page to get to records beginning with
a certain letter, the records that are listed always include records that
begin with the previous letter. Does anybody know if there is a reason why
the actual record that you're looking for is always listed as the third or
fourth option down? Is there an easy way to change this?
Thanks!

Re: [Dspace-tech] browse by jump to order
Actually, DSpace DOES highlight the matched record. DSpace is smart! I assumed context was the reason behind the functionality, but our librarians here were asking me the question and asking me to change it. Go figure. ;) Thanks -Sarah Ryder Web Development Hampshire College 413.559.5477 On Fri, 20 Apr 2007, Dorothea Salo wrote: Does anybody know if there is a reason why the actual record that you're looking for is always listed as the third or fourth option down? It's a librarian thing. The idea is that if the record you asked for is listed first, but turns out *not* to be the record you actually want, you can't see if the record you actually want is just before the record you got. Unfortunately, most library systems (not just DSpace!) aren't smart enough to highlight the matched record in order to catch the user's eye and ease the exact usability frustration that led you to ask this question. I wonder how hard a patch that would be? Dorothea - This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML. No limits.
