Hi, I'm a newbie on DSpace. I just installed DSpace 5.x for my library. We use jspui.
I added a new field (advisor) on the Submission form by editing the /dspace/config/input-forms.xml file, which works fine. In order to display it on the default simple item record page, I modified the /dspace/config/dspace.cfg file by adding "dc.contributor.advisor" to webui.itemdisplay.default = section, like the following: webui.itemdisplay.default = dc.title, dc.title.alternative, dc.contributor.author, dc.contributor.advisor, \ dc.subject(nobreakline), dc.date.issued(date), 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 interesting thing is that originally this part is all commented out and I had to uncomment it to make my new field to work. Now the real challenge comes, the label for the advisor field on the simple item record page is: "metadata.dc.contributor.advisor", not simply "advisor" as I expected! After more research, I came to know that I need to change the "Messages.properties" file inside my source directory, like the documentation told me: Location of the JSPUI message catalog in the DSpace source tree [dspace-source]/dspace-api/src/main/resources/Messages.properties The problem is, I can't find Messages.properties anywhere. It simply doesn't exist! My question: Where is this file hided? My another question is: Is this the only way to change my label from metadata.dc.contributor.advisor to advisor? Because I don't want to rebuild dspace just for such a small change. Thanks in advance for your help!
