Documentation Wiki Spaces

• Starting with 1.7.x, each major version of DSpace has its own Wiki Space.
• Space ID: Each DSpace Documentation space has a "Space ID" of the following format: "DSDOCxx" (where 'xx' represents the version of DSpace)
  • (e.g.) 1.7.x docs are in DSDOC17, 1.8.x docs are in DSDOC18
• General Space: The DSDOC (generic) space is used to inform people of all available DSpace Documentation, e.g. All Documentation, as well as provide a central place for these internal Documentation Management notes.
• Space Header: Each DSpace Documentation space also has a header (see Documentation Space Headers below) which lets users know if it refers to an old, current or unreleased version of the software.
• Left Sidebar: The Left Sidebar on all Documentation Spaces is identical – it just loads the _DocLeftSidebar reusable content page. This is very powerful as it means that the sidebar on all existing Spaces can be edited from a single location.
  • Note: If you view the Wiki source, you'll notice that the _DocLeftSidebar actually assigns CSS classes to each Documentation link in the "All Documentation" list. This is so that each Documentation Space can have a custom CSS style which makes its listing appear bold when you are in that Space. For an example, see the DSDOC17, and DSDOC18 spaces – notice how different items in that listing are bolded. This is a custom CSS style enabled for each Space.

Documentation Space Headers

As mentioned above, on each Documentation Space we want to provide users with context information to let them know whether the Documentation they are looking at is current, and also give them information on how to get to current or older documentation (based on the version of DSpace they are using).
