Example Value:

webui.strengths.cache = false

Informational Note:

When showing the strengths, should they be counted in real time, or fetched from the cache. Counts fetched in real time will perform an actual count of the database contents every time a page with this feature is requested, which will not scale. If you set the property key is set to cache ("true") you must run the following command periodically to update the count: /[dspace]/bin/dspace itemcounter. The default is to count in real time (set to "false").

Example Value:

browseDAO.class = org.dspace.browse.SolrBrowseDAO

Informational Note:

This property configures the java Java class that is used for READ operations by the Browse System. You need to have Discovery enabled to use the SOLR Solr Browse DAOs

Example Value:

This property sets the number of selectable choices in the Choices lookup popup

Example Value:

Informational Note:

This is used to customize the DC metadata fields that display in the item display (the brief display) when pulling up a record. The format is: <schema>.<element>.<_optional_qualifier> . In place of the qualifier, one can use the wildcard "*" to include all fields of the same element, or, leave it blank for unqualified elements. Additionally, two additional options are available for behavior/rendering: (date) and (link). See the following examples:

dc.title = Dublin Core element '"title' " (unqualified)
dc.title.alternative = DC element '"title'", qualifier '"alternative' "
dc.title.* = All fields with Dublin Core element 'title' (any or no qualifier)
dc.identifier.uri(link) = DC identifier.uri, rendered as a link
dc.date.issued(date) = DC date.issued, rendered as a date
The Messages.properties file controls how the fields defined above will display to the user. If the field is missing from the _Messages.properties_ file, it will not be displayed. Look in Messages.properties}} under {{the metadata.dc.<field>. Example:
metadata.dc.contributor.other = Authors
metadata.dc.contributor.author = Authors
metadata.dc.title.* = Title
Please note: The order in which you place the values to the property key control the order in which they will display to the user on the outside world. (See the Example Value above).

Example Value:

Informational Note:

When using "resolver" in webui.itemdisplay to render identifiers as resolvable links, the base URL is take taken from <code>webui.resolver.<n>.baseurl<code> where <code>webui.resolver.<n>.baseurl<code> matches the urn specified in the metadata value. The value is appended to the "baseurl" as is, so the baseurl needs to end with the forward slash almost in any case. If no urn is specified in the value it will be displayed as simple text. For the doi and hdl urn defaults values are provided, respectively http://dc.doi.org and http://hdl.handle.net are used. If a metadata value with style "doi", "handle" or "resolver" matches a URL already, it is simply rendered as a link with no other manipulation.

Example Value:

Informational Note:

Specify which strategy to use for select the style for an item.

Example Value:

webui.itemdisplay.thesis.collections = 123456789/24, 123456789/35

Informational Note:

Specify which collections use which views by Handle.

Example Value:

Informational Note:

Specify which metadata to use as name of the style

Example Value:

Informational Note:

Customize the DC fields to use in the item listing page. Elements will be displayed left to right in the order they are specified here. The form is <schema prefix>.<element>[.<qualifier> | .*][(date)], ...
Although not a requirement, it would make sense to include among the listed fields at least the date and title fields as specified by the webui.browse.index configuration options in the next section mentioned. (cf.)
If you have enabled thumbnails (webui.browse.thumbnail.show), you must also include a 'thumbnail' entry in your columns‚ this is where the thumbnail will be displayed.

Example Value:

webui.itemlist.width = *, 130, 60%, 40%

Informational Note:

You can customize the width of each column with the following line--you can have numbers (pixels) or percentages. For the 'thumbnail' column, a setting of '*' will use the max width specified for browse thumbnails (cf. webui.browse.thumbnail.maxwidth, thumbnail.maxwidth)

Example Value:

_}} 

Informational Note:

You can override the DC fields used on the listing page for a given browse index and/or sort option. As a sort option or index may be defined on a field that isn't normally included in the list, this allows you to display the fields that have been indexed/sorted on. There are a number of forms the configuration can take, and the order in which they are listed below is the priority in which they will be used (so a combination of an index name and sort name will take precedence over just the browse name).In the last case, a sort option name will always take precedence over a browse index name. Note also, that for any additional columns you list, you will need to ensure there is an itemlist.<field name> entry in the messages file.

Example Value:

webui.itemlist.dateaccessioned.columns = thumbnail, dc.date.accessioned(date), dc.title, dc.contributor.*

Informational Note:

This would display the date of the accession in place of the issue date whenever the dateaccessioned browsed index or sort option is selected. Just like webui.itemlist.columns, you will need to include a 'thumbnail' entry to display the thumbnails in the item list.

Example Value:

webui.itemlist.dateaccessioned.widths = *, 130, 60%, 40%

Informational Note:

As in the aforementioned property key, you can customize the width of the columns for each configured column list, substituting '".widths' " for '".columns' " in the property name. See the setting for webui.itemlist.widths for more information.

Example Value:

webui.itemlist.tablewidth = 100%

Informational Note:

You can also set the overall size of the item list table with the following setting. It can lead to faster table rendering when used with the column widths above, but not generally recommended.

Example Value:

webui.session.invalidate = true

Informational Note:

Enable or disable session invalidation upon login or logout. This feature is enabled by default to help prevent session hijacking but may cause problems for shibboleth, etc. If omitted, the default value is '"true'". [Only used for JSPUI authentication].

If you would like to use Google Analytics to track general website statistics then use the following parameter to provide your Analytics key.

Example Value:

xmlui.supported.locales = en, de

Informational Note:

A list of supported locales for Manakin. Manakin will look at a user's browser configuration for the first language that appears in this list to make available to in the interface. This parameter is a comma separated list of Locales. All types of Locales country, country_language, country_language_variant. Note that if the appropriate files are not present (i.e. Messages_XX_XX.xml) then Manakin will fall back through to a more general language.

Example Value:

xmlui.force.ssl = true

Informational Note:

Force all authenticated connections to use SSL, only non-authenticated connections are allowed over plain http. If set to true, then you need to ensure that the '"dspace.hostname' " parameter is set to the correctly.

Example Value:

xmlui.user.registration = true

Informational Note:

Determine if new users should be allowed to register. This parameter is useful in conjunction with Shibboleth where you want to disallow registration because Shibboleth will automatically register the user. Default value is true.

Example Value:

xmlui.user.editmetadata = true

Informational Note:

Determines if users should be able to edit their own metadata. This parameter is useful in conjunction with Shibboleth where you want to disable the user's ability to edit their metadata because it came from Shibboleth. Default value is true.

Example Value:

xmlui.user.assumelogon = true

Informational Note:

Determine if super administrators (those whom are in the Administrators group) can login as another user from the "edit eperson" page. This is useful for debugging problems in a running dspace instance, especially in the workflow process. The default value is false, i.e., no one may assume the login of another user.

Example Value:

xmlui.user.loginredirect = /profile

Informational Note:

After a user has logged into the system, which url should they be directed? Leave this parameter blank or undefined to direct users to the homepage, or /profile for the user's profile, or another reasonable choice is /submissions to see if the user has any tasks awaiting their attention. The default is the repository home page.

Example Value:

xmlui.theme.allowoverrides = false

Informational Note:

Allow the user to override which theme is used to display a particular page. When submitting a request add the HTTP parameter "themepath" which corresponds to a particular theme, that specified theme will be used instead of the any other configured theme. Note that this is a potential security hole allowing execution of unintended code on the server, this option is only for development and debugging it should be turned off for any production repository. The default value unless otherwise specified is "false".

Example Value:

xmlui.bundle.upload = ORIGINAL, METADATA, THUMBNAIL, LICENSE, CC_LICENSE

Informational Note:

Determine which bundles administrators and collection administrators may upload into an existing item through the administrative interface. If the user does not have the appropriate privileges (add and write) on the bundle then that bundle will not be shown to the user as an option.

Example Value:

xmlui.community-list.render.full = true

Informational Note:

On the community-list page should all the metadata about a community/collection be available to the theme. This parameter defaults to true, but if you are experiencing performance problems on the community-list page you should experiment with turning this option off.

Example Value:

xmlui.community-list.cache = 12 hours

Informational Note:

Normally, Manakin will fully verify any cache pages before using a cache copy. This means that when the community-list page is viewed the database is queried for each community/collection to see if their metadata has been modified. This can be expensive for repositories with a large community tree. To help solve this problem you can set the cache to be assumed valued for a specific set of time. The downside of this is that new or editing communities/collections may not show up the website for a period of time.

Example Value:

xmlui.bistream.mods = true

Informational Note:

Optionally, you may configure Manakin to take advantage of metadata stored as a bitstream. The MODS metadata file must be inside the "METADATA" bundle and named MODS.xml. If this option is set to 'true' and the bitstream is present then it is made available to the theme for display.

Example Value:

xmlui.bitstream.mets = true

Informational Note:

Optionally, you may configure Manakin to take advantage of metadata stored as a bitstream. The METS metadata file must be inside the "METADATA" bundle and named METS.xml. If this option is set to "true" and the bitstream is present then it is made available to the theme for display.

Example Value:

xmlui.google.analytics.key = UA-XXXXXX-X

Informational Note:

If you would like to use Google Analytics to track general website statistics then use the following parameter to provide your analytics key. First sign up for an account at http://analytics.google.com, then create an entry for your repositories website. Google Analytics will give you a snippet of javascript code to place on your site, inside that snip it is your Google Analytics key usually found in the line: _uacct = "UA-XXXXXXX-X" Take this key (just the UA-XXXXXX-X part) and place it here in this parameter.

Example Value:

xmlui.controlpanel.activity.max = 250

Informational Note:

Assign how many page views will be recorded and displayed in the control panel's activity viewer. The activity tab allows an administrator to debug problems in a running DSpace by understanding who and how their dspace is currently being used. The default value is 250.

Example Value:

xmlui.controlpanel.activity.ipheader = X-Forward-For

Informational Note:

Determine where the control panel's activity viewer receives an events IP address from. If your DSpace is in a load balanced environment or otherwise behind a context-switch then you will need to set the parameter to the HTTP parameter that records the original IP address.
