Instructions:
To change the metadata display, change the ordering of Dublin Core elements after
Code Block webui.itemdisplay.default
(in dspace.cfg), or add new elements:
Code Block webui.itemdisplay.default = dc.title, dc.title.alternative, dc.contributor.*, dc.subject, dc.date.issued(date), dc.publisher
To change the display name of a metadata field, search for its Dublin Core key name (which will begin with
Code Block metadata.
) in Messages.properties:
<p class="Example">metadataCode Block metadata.dc.title.alternative = Title (French)
- Perform the steps in Rebuild + DSpace .
