Comment: hierarchical browse config info

...

Optionally, you can enable item counts to be displayed in the user interface for every Community and Collection.   This uses the same configuration that was in place for DSpace 6 and earlier.

Property:

webui.strengths.show

Example Value:

webui.strengths.show = false

Informational Note:

When "true" this will display the count of archived items (in the User Interface's browse screens). By default this is "false" (disabled).  When enabled, the counts may be counted in real time, or fetched from the cache (see next option).

Property:

webui.strengths.cache

Example Value:

webui.strengths.cache = false

Informational Note:

When showing the strengths (i.e. item counts), should they be counted in real time, or fetched from the cache. Counts fetched in real time will perform an actual count of the index contents every time a page with this feature is requested, which may not scale. If you set the property key is set to cache ("true"), the counts will be cached on first load.

Browse Index Configuration

...

Element

Definition and Options (if available)

webui.itemlist.sort-option.<n>

n is an arbitrary number you choose.

<sort-type-name>

The name by which the sort option will be identified. This is the name by which it is referred in the "webui.browse.index" settings (see Defining the Indexes).

<schema-prefix>

The schema used for the field to be sorted on in the index. The default is dc (for Dublin Core).

<element>

The schema element. In Dublin Core, for example, the author element is referred to as "Contributor". The user should consult the default Dublin Core Metadata Registry table in Appendix A.

<qualifier>

This is the qualifier to the <element> component. The user has two choices: an asterisk "*" or a proper qualifier of the element.

<datatype>

This refers to the datatype of the field:
date the sort field will be treated as a date object
text the sort field will be treated as plain text.
title the sort field will be treated like a title, which will include a link to the item page

Hierarchical Browse Indexes

No configuration is necessary for hierarchical browse indexes (Browse by Controlled Vocabulary). These are automatically generated based on the used controlled vocabularies in your submission forms. Default DSpace has one hierarchical browse index (Browse by Subject Category), since "srsc" is the only vocabulary used in the default submission-forms.xml.

Please note that when using another vocabulary, the UI's language packs (e.g. src/assets/i18n/en.json5) will need to be updated as well, e.g.:

  • "menu.section.browse_global_by_srsc": "By Subject Category"
  • "browse.metadata.srsc.breadcrumbs": "Browse by Subject Category"
  • "browse.comcol.by.srsc": "By Subject Category"

Other Browse Options

We set other browse values in the following section.
