Hi Clive, > 2) I then stopped tomcat, and modified the line you mentioned in > dspace.cfg as follows: > > webui.itemdisplay.default = dc.title, dc.title.alternative, dc.contributor.*, > \ > dc.subject, dc.date.issued, dc.publisher, \ > dc.identifier.citation, > dc.relation.ispartofseries, \ > dc.description.abstract, dc.description, \ > dc.identifier.govdoc, dc.identifier.uri(link), \ > dc.identifier.isbn, dc.identifier.issn, \ > dc.identifier.ismn, dc.identifier > > The full, unabridged issue date is now shown as you can see below: > > So what is it about (date) ???
Adding (date) to a field in that list tells DSpace that you want to display the date as a data, rather than as the raw string that it retrieves from the database in the 'simple item view'. Typically this will involve stripping off the time, and, depending on the original date you entered, displaying just the year, month and year, or day month and year. So the suggestion to remove it was to check that it was getting the correct data - not as a fix to the other problems. We need to work out why the date isn't being The class that does this is DCDate.java, and we know this class has a few issues and limitations in the way it does this, and we have some open issues in our JIRA bug tracking system to look at this and address it. I've had a quick look around our JIRA system, and there are some other reports of the same problem, for example this one: - http://jira.dspace.org/jira/browse/DS-469 However this suggests it was fixed in 1.6.1. Are you using the source or binary distribution of DSpace 1.6.2? I'll try and find some time to big into this a bit further.
