Hi,
Occasionally I'll come across a "bug" or problem with the DSpace software
that I correct, but I've never submitted any of these changes to the DSpace
developers and, for that matter, I don't really know what the procedure for
this would be.
For instance, I just found a small problem with "Subscribe.java" as
follows: The emails that are generated by script "sub-daily" notify anyone who
is subscribed to a particular collection about any new Items that were added to
that collection the previous day. Within those emails are lists of new Items
including the "ID:" or url of these new Items. The urls should have been links
in the emails, but due to the fact that there was not a space left between the
url field label ("ID:") and the actual url, the Item urls were not appearing in
the emails as links. I made the following change to "Subscribe.java" that
added a space after the label so that the urls will now appear as hyperlinks in
the emails:
.
.
.
public static void sendEmail(Context context, EPerson eperson,
List collections, boolean test) throws IOException,
MessagingException,
SQLException
{
.
.
.
emailText.append("\n
").append(labels.getString("org.dspace.eperson.Subscribe.id")).append(
// SMWT - 05/26/2010 - Change begins
" ").append(
// SMWT - 05/26/2010 - Change ends
HandleManager.getCanonicalForm(hii.handle)).append(
"\n\n");
.
.
.
Can someone tell me if this kind of code modification should be submitted
somewhere and, if so, what the proper procedures are?
Thanks,
Sue
