The Compound Solution pack module adds the ability to to create compound objects using objects created with any other Islandora solution pack by enabling a generic parent-child relationships between objects. The object view of a compound object is replaced by the view of its first child object. The included "Islandora Compound Object Navigation" block provides a thumbnail navigation of an object's siblings. A "Compound" management tab allows for the addition and removal of parent and child objects for each object.
Configuration options are available through the Compound objects administrative menu (admin/islandora/compound_object)
Enable the module and if the navigation controls are desired, enable and configure the "Islandora Compound Object Navigation" block at /admin/structure/block.
The module has documented configuration options at admin/islandora/solution_pack_config/compound_object.
The "Islandora Compound Object Navigation" block can be themed. See theme_islandora_compound_prev_next().
A Drush command has been added, to be run from the command line (Terminal), that will update the existing rel-predicate of existing compound objects to 'isConstituentOf'. It can be run with the drush command 'drush update_rels_predicate'. This command accpets no arguments.
