Re: [Dspace-tech] How to give authorization to users?

2008-08-20 Thread Stuart Lewis
Hi Durga,

 This is Durga. I have installed DSpace in my system . When we register as
 a new user, and when we go thru all the registration process, DSpace allows us
 to login with the registered ID. When i login with my ID, MYDspace Home page
 is being displayed with options like Start a new Subbmission, View Accepted
 Submission etc. when i select the option Start a new submission , You are not
 authorized to submit to any collections is being displayed. As an
 administrator, is there any thing that i shoul do to allow the users to strat
 their submission? please help to solve this problem.

In order for a user to be allowed to submit to a collection, they must have
their account added to the group of users who can submit to that collection.

You can edit the list of people allowed to submit into a collection by
logging-in as an administrator, go to the collection you wish to give them
submitters rights on, and press the Edit Submitters button.

You can either give submission rights to an individual, or to a group of
people. For example if all your staff in one faculty might need to submit to
several collections, you can first create a group of those users
(Administration - Groups - Create New Group) and then rather than adding
the individual users to the collection, just add the group.

I hope that helps,


Stuart

The subject of your email suggests that you are wanting to use LDAP to
authenticate your users?

If this is the case it looks like you might not have set it up 
correctly as

DSpace is still trying to authenticate using its own in-built password
system.

To enable LDAP, do the following in [dspace]/config/dspace.cfg:

 - Set 'ldap.enable' to 'true'
 - Set LDAP as the authentication method:
   - plugin.sequence.org.dspace.eperson.AuthenticationMethod = \
org.dspace.eperson.LDAPAuthentication
 - Set all your LDAP parameters to your local server settings
 - Restart tomcat

 Also, *how to reflect new changes made to any Java file, before
 rebuilding the dspace.war*?

Re-run ant, as follows:

 - ant -D[dspace]/config/dspace.cfg update

Thanks,




Hi STuart,

Thanks a lot for ur solution. Even after changing the Authentication 
method, we are not able to get into our LDAP;
We *do not have 'object_context' in our LDAP settings*, but this is a 
requirement in Dspace LDAP settings;

SO how to go customize it now?

[ In our LDAP server, we have [ l= 
dc=vijayanagar,cn=Locations,dc=jsw,dc=in ]


We tried this setting ldap.object_context = 
ou=people,dc=vijayanagar,cn=Locations,dc=jsw,dc=in; even this did not work;


ANy idea??

[Dspace-tech] News of main page are stored in only 1 language

2008-08-20 Thread Robert Roggenbuck
Hi,

I just found a surprising bug while configuring the two News of the 
main page. We have a DSpace 1.5 (jspui) installation with English and 
German GUI. There are two possibilities to configure the News: 1. the 
news-side*.html and news-top*.html in the config directory, and 2. the 
administration area of the GUI.

Now my case: I edited the German text from the GUI. Then I switched to 
the English GUI to set up the translation. The fields were already 
filled with the German texts (!). And after changing them, the German 
texts in the German GUI are gone. Looking in the config directory I saw 
that only the files news-side.html and news-top.html were affected and 
news-side_de.html and news-top_de.html were still old (= the original 
versions from the language pack).

This means: Even when I edit the News from the German GUI, the English 
files are written (and displayed)!

Does anyone have an idea how to debug this?

Greetings

Robert

 I need to work with two separated instances of Dspace. The first
 installation was clean and without problems, but the second it isn't,

 command worked fine, but when I run the ant fresh_install command,
 gives an error saying that there is no DB named dspace (I'm running it
 on a test server, that doesn't have any dspace installed). I changed
 the line that gives acces to postgres url and ports on dspace.cfg (it
 was like db.url = jdbc:postgresql://localhost:5432/dspace and changed
 it for db.url = jdbc:postgresql://localhost:5432/newdbname) but it
 didn't work

In what way did it not work?  Precisely.  What messages did you receive?

Did you create a database 'newdbname' in PostgreSQL on the test
server?

Does the Pg user named by db.user exist in Pg on the test server?
Does db.password correctly specify that user's Pg password?  Is that
user permitted access to the database 'newdbname' from IP host
127.0.0.1 or ::1?

You can name the database any way you like, but a database by that
name must be created before 'ant fresh_install' can define the tables
in it.  You can name the database user as you please, but that user
must exist in Pg and must be permitted (in pg_hba) access via IP to the
database you named in the DSpace config.  You can even run the DBMS on
any other machine you wish, but on that machine you must configure Pg
to permit the configured user, using the configured password, access to
the configured database from the host on which that DSpace instance runs.

 Where can I find the correct variable to change the DB name? or it's
 impossible to do that?

db.uri completely specifies the type, location, and name of the
database.  In the first example you give:

o  the type is PostgreSQL;
o  the location is 'localhost' (127.0.0.1 or ::1) and the port is
   5432;
o  the database is named 'dspace'.

[Dspace-tech] Chat summary: 20 August 2008

2008-08-20 Thread Dorothea Salo
We had about twenty people (and, unfortunately, two or three trolls)
in this morning's chat! That's a much larger turnout than I expected,
and I find it very encouraging.

After a round of introductions, we talked about the following things:

BULK METADATA EDITING
Use cases included name and subject authority control, adding a new
piece of metadata to all the items in a collection at once.
One manager wanted to allow student assistants to bulk-edit metadata.
Suggestion: export/import of a collection's metadata only, for batch editing

PERMISSIONS
One manager said that permissions were opaquely-named and difficult to
understand, making it hard to determine exactly what permissions a
given eperson has.
Desiderata included letting epeople other than administrators create
collections, automatically changing edit permissions on existing items
in a collection when a new collection administrator is added, and
letting collection administrators edit/change bitstreams (use case:
ETDs with last-minute corrections).
Suggestion: instead of recording permissions on each individual item,
check against collection administrator list for edit rights on the
item.

DOCUMENTATION
Several people mentioned using the wiki, especially the how-to pages.
It was noted that the how-to pages are becoming disorganized and
unwieldy, which will only get worse as more are added.
Suggestions: organize the how-to pages by version of DSpace to which
they apply; organize the how-to pages by task (Install Customize
Administer Troubleshoot Internationalize etc).
The mailing lists are helpful, but good information becomes the
needle in the haystack -- hard to search for, especially with the
unfriendly SourceForge interface. Several managers archive useful
messages for later use.
Suggestions: Build a way to auto-forward useful messages from
dspace-tech to the wiki, for editing by one or more community members.
Reuse material from an upcoming course on administering DSpace.
Develop a new user guide. Reorganize the DSpace feature list by
common perceived needs rather than by feature.
Dealing with problems in the underlying technology stack rather than
DSpace itself can be difficult, as can finding live help.
Suggestions: advertize the DSpace IRC room, arrange office hours there.

OTHER DESIDERATA
- embargoes (two managers reported using an embargo hack; one is
delaying an upgrade to 1.5 because it does not have one)
- multilingual issues: community/collection descriptions in more than
one language, metadata input in more than one language

LOGISTICS
The IRC chatroom (irc.freenode.net, #dspace) is an underused resource!
Developers and admins watch the room who are happy to help with DSpace
issues. To broaden awareness of this helpful space, chats will be held
there going forward. Next week's agenda should include discussion of
DSpace statistics.

Thanks to all participants!

 DSpace-tech has a 1.5.1 beta to talk about, and I don't want to derail

I've been generally dissatisfied with the breakup of the community  
over the lists of [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] and dspace- 
[EMAIL PROTECTED]  I've recommended in the past, a consolidation of or  
restructuring of this list setup.  By breaking off even more avenues

discussion that is difficult to keep track of.

In the past I recommended moving dspace-general to the SF site to  
assure that its is clearly identified with the DSpace foundation and

In the past I've also recommened renaming the lists to clarify the  
standard defacto OS listserv roles that they should be playing in the  
community

[EMAIL PROTECTED] --  consolidate into below
[EMAIL PROTECTED]  --  [EMAIL PROTECTED] (or possibly dspace-

I also recommend an additional read only list.

2008-08-20 Thread Mark Diggory
The timing of this meeting was a bit off in my time zone, 0700 am  
(and is why I usefully prefer to use email for communication within  
the community as it is asynchronous).  Is there a transparent log of  
the chat conversation, I've logged into Meebo, but only found a  
portion of the history there...

Its pleasant to see a round table get together and talk about such  
issues, I hope it will fuel an activity to get a better needs  
assessment out of the IR Manager user group.  I would highly  
recommend formalizing the history of the event by summarizing this in  
the WIKI (as you point out a need to do when such events occur in  
chats and email lists). I also recommend someone should act as a  
moderator/secretary right now to aggregate your further list  
discussion into a more formal state in the WIKI in as real a time as  
possible.  It would be best to have the notes and chat log that  
you've presented here into a section of the WIKI focused wholly on  
the interests of the IR Managers group that is forming here.  This  
could even simply be links to the pertinent threads of interest in  
the S.F. and dspace-general email lists.

[Dspace-tech] How to make better quality previews and thumbnails

2008-08-20 Thread Grimland, Courtney
I'm using DSpace 1.4, and don't have the option to upgrade at the
moment, so hopefully someone can help me with the older version.

I'm having a hard time trying to figure out how to make decent-looking
previews and thumbnails.  This particular collection I'm working on is a
bunch of scans of black-and-white photographs, in TIFF format.  I've got
the jai-imageio libraries installed and added TIFF to the JPEGFilter and
BrandedPreviewJPEGFilter inputFormats.  The filter-media script is
creating the thumbnails and previews, but they just look like snow.

I'm not rally a java person, so after a little Googling I tried
specifying different combinations of interpolation, dithering, and
rendering values in JPEGFilter.java, for example:

...
import java.awt.RenderingHints;
...
// now render the image into the thumbnail buffer
Graphics2D g2d = thumbnail.createGraphics();
g2d.setRenderingHint(RenderingHints.KEY_INTERPOLATION,
RenderingHints.VALUE_INTERPOLATION_BICUBIC);
g2d.setRenderingHint(RenderingHints.KEY_RENDERING,
RenderingHints.VALUE_RENDER_QUALITY);
g2d.setRenderingHint(RenderingHints.KEY_DITHERING,
RenderingHints.VALUE_DITHER_DISABLE);
g2d.drawImage(buf, 0, 0, (int) xsize, (int) ysize, null);
...

But the resulting previews and thumbnails always look like snow.  I just
don't know where or how to specify a different resampling method.


Examples:

This is actually a JPG scaled down in Gimp, to get the idea of the
original 44MB TIFF:

This is the preview JPG crated by MediaFilterManager:

# and thumbnail.maxheight. Only need to be set if required to be smaller

# whether to display the thumb against each bitstream (1.2+)
webui.item.thumbnail.show = true

# where should clicking on a thumbnail from browse/search take the user
# Only values currently supported are item and bitstream
webui.browse.thumbnail.linkbehaviour = item

I just ran /usr/local/filter-media

Thumbnails aren't showing up

What am I missing?

Thanks!
Susan

[Dspace-tech] Manakin and dspace.log (statistics)

2008-08-20 Thread Juan Arias
Dear DSpace Community,

we are migrating our Institutional Repository to DSpace. We have done
some tests with DSpace 1.4.2 and Manakin. You can take a look at:
http://tesla.saber.ula.ve:8080/dspace and
http://tesla.saber.ula.ve:8080/manakin

For migrating we have the requirement that we must have item viewing and
bitstream downloading statistics. Therefore we successfuly installed the
statistics addon from the Uni do Minho.

The problem is that item views and bitstream downloads in the manakin
interface do not generate statistics!. I was checking and it seems that
Manakin does not write an INFO entry in the dspace.log file as the
jspui does.

Is the patch 2025998 related to this?. I have seen also some Email
traffic in which it is said that this issue is a feature for DSpace
1.5.1. Is that right?

Is there any way to use Manakin and a stable version of DSpace (i.e.
1.5) and be able to generate viewing and downloading statistics?

Thank you very much for your help.

By the way, we have generated some documentation on our migration
experience at http://proyectos.saber.ula.ve/wikiud/index.php/Aspectos_t%
C3%A9cnicos_de_la_migraci%C3%B3n (it is in Spanish).

 A data point:  I had forgotten that dspace-general even existed, since
 it wasn't visible at SF, until it was recently mentioned on
 dspace-devel.  Housing all of the lists together sounds good to me.
 (OTOH the SF list archive navigation tools are awful!)

 A particular problem with chats is that there is no record of any
 progress made there unless someone is logging.  
 
 

+1 to a log bot with a webui.
