Thanks a lot, Hardy, Peter and Mark.
I tried following Hardy's and Peter's directions and also studied the
wikis/guides (thank you for the links, Hardy!)
I still can't figure out how to make it work (page title still "Page not
found", no breadcrumbs and no contents showing)
That's what I've got so far:
1) on
[dspace-src]/dspace-xmlui/dspace-xmlui-api/src/main/java/org/dspace/app/xmlui/aspect/artifactbrowser
created an AboutPage.java file, very similar to the one by Peter Dietz, with
the 2 methods:
addPageMeta()
to make the title and the breadcrumbs:
pageMeta.addMetadata("title").addContent(T_title);
pageMeta.addTrailLink(contextPath + "/",T_dspace_home);
pageMeta.addTrail().addContent(T_trail);
addBody()
Division division = body.addDivision("about-page", "primary");
division.setHead(T_head);
division.addPara(T_para);
[ the T_para would be the text content of the page, which should fit
internationalization. ]
2)
[dspace-src]/dspace-xmlui/dspace-xmlui-webapp/src/main/webapp/themes/Mirage/lib/xsl/core/navigation.xsl
we create the link under <xsl:template match="dri:options">
<div id="ds-search-option" class="ds-option-set">
<a>
<xsl:attribute name="href">
<xsl:value-of
select="/dri:document/dri:meta/dri:pageMeta/dri:metadata[@element='contextPath'][not(@qualifier)]"/>
<xsl:text>/about</xsl:text>
</xsl:attribute>
<!-- e aqui o label descritivo -->
<i18n:text>xmlui.dri2xhtml.structural.static.about</i18n:text>
</a><br/>
3) the messages_[LOCALE].xsl files, containing the text of the "About" page,
translated in many languages
4)
[dspace-src]/dspace-xmlui/dspace-xmlui-api/src/main/resources/aspects/ArtifactBrowser/sitemap.xmap
--> under:
<map:components>
<map:transformers>
added:
<map:transformer name="AboutPage"
src="org.dspace.app.xmlui.aspect.artifactbrowser.AboutPage" />
--> and under:
<map:pipelines>
<map:pipeline>
added:
<map:match pattern="about">
<map:transform type="AboutPage"/>
<map:serialize type="xml"/>
</map:match>
5)
[dspace-src]/dspace-xmlui/dspace-xmlui-webapp/src/main/webapp/themes/Mirage/Mirage.xsl
the override of <xsl:template match="dri:body">
(How should I call for the contents? is that correct?)
<xsl:when
test="/dri:document/dri:meta/dri:pageMeta/dri:metadata[@element='request'][@qualifier='URI']='about'">
<div>
<h1>Simple ABOUT page</h1>
<xsl:apply-templates />
</div>
</xsl:when>
After mvn, ant, tomcat stop, clear tomcat cache, tomcat start: doesn't work.
What am I missing?
Thank you again for your patience and help!
Best regards,
Andre Assada
