Base Templates for Creating XMLUI Themes

dri2xhtml

The dri2xhtml base template is the original XMLUI template for creating XMLUI themes. It attempts to provide generic XSLT templates which are then applied across the entire DSpace site.

The dri2xhtml base template consists of five main XSLTs:

• dri2xhtml/structural.xsl - this XSLT is in charge of creating the main layout/page structure of every page within DSpace
• dri2xhtml/General-Handler.xsl - this XSLT is in charge of displaying File download links throughout DSpace (it matches the METS <fileSec> element).
• dri2xhtml/DIM-Handler.xsl - this XSLT is in charge of displaying all DIM (DSpace Intermediate Metadata) metadata throughout DSpace (it matches any DIM metadata in the METS). By default, this is the template used to display all metadata.
• dri2xhtml/MODS-Handler.xsl - this XSLT is in charge of displaying all MODS metadata throughout DSpace (it matches any MODS metadata in the METS). By default, this template is not used, as MODS metadata is not generated by XMLUI by default.
• dri2xhtml/QDC-Handler.xsl - this XSLT is in charge of displaying all Qualified Dublin Core (QDC) metadata throughout DSpace (it matches any QDC metadata in the METS). By default, this template is not used, as QDC metadata is not generated by XMLUI by default.

Configuration and Installation

The alternative basic templates has been committed, and is currently dubbed "dri2xhtml-alt".
Any of the existing themes can be updated to reference this new set of templates by replacing in your theme.xsl:

<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:i18n="http://apache.org/cocoon/i18n/2.1"
	xmlns:dri="http://di.tamu.edu/DRI/1.0/"
	xmlns:mets="http://www.loc.gov/METS/"
	xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/TR/xlink/"
	xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0"
	xmlns:dim="http://www.dspace.org/xmlns/dspace/dim"
	xmlns:xhtml="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
	xmlns:mods="http://www.loc.gov/mods/v3"
	xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/"
	xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
	exclude-result-prefixes="i18n dri mets xlink xsl dim xhtml mods dc">

    <!--
        comment out original dri2xhtml
        <xsl:import href="../dri2xhtml.xsl"/>
        and enable dri2xhtml-alt
    -->

    <xsl:import href="../dri2xhtml-alt/dri2xhtml.xsl"/>

    <xsl:output indent="yes"/>

Because the contents of dri2xhtml-alt is identical to the current dri2xhtml.xsl and its derivatives, updating any of the existing themes to reference the new dri2xhtml-alt should not impose any changes in the rendering of the pages.

Features

• No changes to existing templates found in legacy dri2xhtml
• Drops inclusion of Handlers other than DIM and Default
• Templates divided out into files so they can be more easily located, divided by Aspect, Page and Functionality
