Page History
...
You can also easily edit the text that appears on each JSP page by editing the Messages.properties file. However, note that unless you change the entry in all of the different language message files, users of other languages will still see the default text for their language. See Internationalization in Application Layer.
Note that the data (attributes) passed from an underlying Servlet to the JSP may change between versions, so you may have to modify your customized JSP to deal with the new data.
...
The JSPs are available in one of two places:
_\[dspace-source\]/dspace-jspui/dspace-jspui-webapp/src/main/webapp/_ \ - Only exists if you downloaded the full Source Release of DSpaceWiki Markup _\[dspace-source\]/dspace/target/dspace-\[version\].dir/webapps/dspace-jspui-webapp/_ \ - The location where they are copied after first building DSpace.Wiki Markup
If you wish to modify a particular JSP, place your edited version in the *_\[dspace-source\]/dspace/modules/jspui/src/main/webapp/_* directory (_this is the replacement for the pre-1.5 /jsp/local directory_), with the same path as the original. If they exist, these will be used in preference to the default JSPs. For example: Wiki Markup
DSpace default | Locally-modified version<ac:structured-macro ac:name="unmigrated-wiki-markup" ac:schema- version="1" ac:macro-id="7d1f1e22-7643-4765-87d8-ff64f178ec59"><ac:plain-text-body><![CDATA[ | ||
[jsp.dir]/community-list.jsp | [jsp.custom-dir]/dspace/modules/jspui/src/main/webapp/community-list.jsp | ]]></ac:plain-text-body></ac:structured-macro> | <ac:structured-macro ac:name="unmigrated-wiki-markup" ac:schema-version="1" ac:macro-id="a58bde79-ed73-4b47-9269-43f831dcc0e9"><ac:plain-text-body><![CDATA[ |
[jsp.dir]/mydspace/main.jsp | [jsp.custom-dir]/dspace/modules/jspui/src/main/webapp/mydspace/main.jsp | ]]></ac:plain-text-body></ac:structured-macro> |
Heavy use is made of a style sheet, _styles.css_. If you make edits, copy the local version to _\[jsp.custom-dir\]/dspace/modules/jspui/src/main/webapp/styles.css_, and it will be used automatically in preference to the default, as described above. Wiki Markup
Fonts and colors can be easily changed using the stylesheet. The stylesheet is a JSP so that the user's browser version can be detected and the stylesheet tweaked accordingly.unmigrated-wiki-markup
The 'layout' of each page, that is, the top and bottom banners and the navigation bar, are determined by the JSPs _/layout/header\-\*.jsp_ and _/layout/footer\-\*.jsp_. You can provide modified versions of these (in _\[jsp.custom-dir\]/dspace/modules/jspui/src/main/webapp/layout_), or define more styles and apply them to pages by using the "style" attribute of the _dspace:layout_ tag.

- Rebuild the DSpace installation package by running the following command from your _\[dspace-source\]/dspace/_ directory:
Code Block unmigrated-wiki-markupmvn package
- Update all DSpace webapps to _\[dspace\]/webapps_ by running the following command from your _\[dspace-source\]/dspace/target/dspace-\[version\]-build.dir_ directory:
Code Block ant -Dconfig=[dspace]/config/dspace.cfg update
- Deploy the the new webapps:
Code Block cp -R /[dspace]/webapps/* /[tomcat]/webapps
- Restart Tomcat
When you restart the web server you should see your customized JSPs.
