[Dspace-tech] Global addition of a group or e-person to all submission workflow steps

2014-05-06 Thread amutsikiwa
Hi

 

Hope I found you well.  We are in the process of trying to improve the
quality of our submission process. We would like to add a group called
irsubmitter  for submission   as well as irreviewer to step 2 of the
workflows of all  collections in our repository. We have a number of
collections so we do not intend to do this manually. We will appreciate  a
global way through  may be an SQL statement to achieve that.

 

 

Kind Regards,

Re: [Dspace-tech] DSpace 4.1, JSPUI and IE 9 menu display issue

2014-05-06 Thread Michael White
Hi Jacob,

Thanks for the pointers.

 I can confirm that removing the CSS filter property for the navbar fixes 
 the issue on the JSPUI demo (of course, doing so will also remove the 
 gradient).

Could you possibly provide some more details on how you achieved this as I've 
just been trying but have been unable to get it to work :-(

I tried commenting out the filter property of the navbar in both 
bootstrap-theme.css and in bootstrap-theme.min.css, so I had:

.navbar {
  background-image:-webkit-gradient(linear,left 0,left 
100%,from(#fff),to(#f8f8f8));
  background-image:-webkit-linear-gradient(top,#fff,0%,#f8f8f8,100%);
  background-image:-moz-linear-gradient(top,#fff 0,#f8f8f8 100%);
  background-image:linear-gradient(to bottom,#fff 0,#f8f8f8 100%);
  background-repeat:repeat-x;
  border-radius:4px;
  
/*filter:progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.gradient(startColorstr='#',endColorstr='#fff8f8f8',GradientType=0);*/
  -webkit-box-shadow:inset 0 1px 0 rgba(255,255,255,0.15),0 1px 5px 
rgba(0,0,0,0.075);
  box-shadow:inset 0 1px 0 rgba(255,255,255,0.15),0 1px 5px rgba(0,0,0,0.075)
}

- but this didn't seem to make any difference. Looking at the source, it 
appears that it is (on the homepage at least!) bootstrap-theme.min.css that 
is being used and I did manage to make some progress by adding 
position:static; to the navbar definition in that file (against the 
recommendations on the pages you pointed to!) - so I had:

.navbar {
  position: static;
  background-image:-webkit-gradient(linear,left 0,left 
100%,from(#fff),to(#f8f8f8));
  background-image:-webkit-linear-gradient(top,#fff,0%,#f8f8f8,100%);
  background-image:-moz-linear-gradient(top,#fff 0,#f8f8f8 100%);
  background-image:linear-gradient(to bottom,#fff 0,#f8f8f8 100%);
  background-repeat:repeat-x;
  border-radius:4px;
  
/*filter:progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.gradient(startColorstr='#',endColorstr='#fff8f8f8',GradientType=0);*/
  -webkit-box-shadow:inset 0 1px 0 rgba(255,255,255,0.15),0 1px 5px 
rgba(0,0,0,0.075);
  box-shadow:inset 0 1px 0 rgba(255,255,255,0.15),0 1px 5px rgba(0,0,0,0.075)
}

- after doing this, the pop-up menus worked fine in IE v9 (hooray!) but the top 
of the page had been pushed down with a load of white space above which is no 
good (boo!) - also tried position:relative and position:fixed but the menus 
just went back to being broken again with these values (boo hoo!)  . . . .

I'm definitely no css aficionado (I probably know just about enough to be very 
dangerous) so would welcome any other pointers or suggestions of stuff to hack 
that may help to fix this :-)

Cheers,

Mike

 Hi again,
 
  Setting up a DSpace 4.1 DEV system, with the new JSPUI, I've noticed
  an issue with the display of the pop-up menus in the navigation bar
  when using IE v9
  - it works fine on the other browsers I have at my disposal.
 
 snip
 
  Has anyone else seen anything like this?
 
 I'm guessing from the lack of responses that others haven't come across this
 (yet)?
 
 I've just tested my IE v9 against http://demo.dspace.org/jspui/ and I note the
 same problem (options don't appear on the pop-up menus, and pop-up
 menus appear behind other elements on the page, a la
 http://www.is.stir.ac.uk/misc/storre/dspace4-menu-ie9.png).
 
 Does anyone else out there have access to IE v9? Do you see the same issue
 with http://demo.dspace.org/jspui/ (or is it just me)?
 
 I also checked the DSpace v4.x with JSPUI sites listed in
 http://registry.duraspace.org/registry/dspace and saw the same issue when
 accessing each of these (so this definitely doesn't look like an issue 
 specific to
 my implementation of DSpace v4!).

[Dspace-tech] Batch upload with items in more than one collection

2014-05-06 Thread biblioteca
 

Hi!

We implemented a batch items upload system with the DSpace command
'import' but we can just upload items in a specific collection without
any relationship with the former uploaded items. 

We want a bulk upload where an item can be uploaded in more than a
collection, related between them.

Is that possible?

Thank you!

[Dspace-tech] Dspace 4.x Questions

2014-05-06 Thread DiesDasAnanas
Dear Sir or Madam of this mailinglist,

i am currently working on a evaluation of digital repository frameworks for the 
Alfred Wegener Institute for polar- and marine research and i have a few 
question. I hope someone can answer some of these.

1. Where can i read information about the bitstream model or how and where the 
data(items) is stored. (Not metadata)
2. Does someone know whether it is possible to customize the user interface 
with the theme in a way so that it can visualize the stored content like this 
example: http://doi.pangaea.de/10.1594/PANGAEA.812038 
3. Does someone know whether it is possible to customize the submission process 
so that a form-map in the Input-form.xml apply on a community and not a 
single collection. 
4. Does someone know whether a collection can suceed user and right policies?
5. Does someone know whether it is possible to implement custom services like 
motiontracking for videofiles (plugins)?
6. Does someone know whether it could be possible to access a datawarehouse out 
of dspace to visualize data in dspace from the datawarehouse?

Thank you, for taking the time to read and answer my questions.

Re: [Dspace-tech] Global addition of a group or e-person to all submission workflow steps

2014-05-06 Thread Monika C. Mevenkamp
Hi

I developed custom Java code that I am planning to push out to GitHub. I just 
didn’t get to it yet.

I am working with version 1.8 but the code should be fine with version 3 and 4. 
 It implements a command line utility to

  1.  list things in dspace,
  2.  to add  and delete policies on listed entities,
  3.  to replace bitstream files
  4.  to replace individual metadata values


In your case you would do something like the following command, which traces 
which the resulting policy settings

 $DSPACE_HOME/bin/dspace bulk-pols -r CommunityHandle --type COLLECTION  -a 
 ADD -d  WORKFLOW_STEP_2 -w GROUP.irsubmitter
 object=COLLECTION.293 parent=COMMUNITY.37 
POLICY.WORKFLOW_STEP_2=[POLICY.35508(GROUP.irsubmitter)]
 object=COLLECTION.294 parent=COMMUNITY.37 
POLICY.WORKFLOW_STEP_2=[POLICY.35509(GROUP.irsubmitter)]
 object=COLLECTION.295 parent=COMMUNITY.37 
POLICY.WORKFLOW_STEP_2=[POLICY.35510(GROUP.irsubmitter)]
 object=COLLECTION.296 parent=COMMUNITY.37 
POLICY.WORKFLOW_STEP_2=[POLICY.35511(GROUP.irsubmitter)]
 object=COLLECTION.297 parent=COMMUNITY.37 
POLICY.WORKFLOW_STEP_2=[POLICY.35512(GROUP.irsubmitter)]
 object=COLLECTION.298 parent=COMMUNITY.37 
POLICY.WORKFLOW_STEP_2=[POLICY.35513(GROUP.irsubmitter)]
 object=COLLECTION.299 parent=COMMUNITY.37 
POLICY.WORKFLOW_STEP_2=[POLICY.35514(GROUP.irsubmitter)]
 ...

This ADDs   the irsubmitter group (which you need to create before using the 
command) to  WORKFLOW_STEP_2  on all collections that are part of the given 
community


The companion list command allows you to check on policies

 $DSPACE_HOME/bin/dspace bulk-list -r 88435/1096 -t COLLECTION --include 
 'object,handle,POLICY.WORKFLOW_STEP_2,name'
 object=COLLECTION.293 handle=88435/1097 
POLICY.WORKFLOW_STEP_2=[POLICY.35508(GROUP.irsubmitter)] name=Aeronautical 
Engineering
 object=COLLECTION.294 handle=88435/1098 
POLICY.WORKFLOW_STEP_2=[POLICY.35509(GROUP.irsubmitter)] name=Anthropology
 object=COLLECTION.295 handle=88435/1099 
POLICY.WORKFLOW_STEP_2=[POLICY.35510(GROUP.irsubmitter)] name=Architecture 
School
 object=COLLECTION.296 handle=88435/1100 
POLICY.WORKFLOW_STEP_2=[POLICY.35511(GROUP.irsubmitter)] name=Art and 
Archaeology
 object=COLLECTION.297 handle=88435/1101 
POLICY.WORKFLOW_STEP_2=[POLICY.35512(GROUP.irsubmitter)] name=Astrophysical 
Sciences
 object=COLLECTION.298 handle=88435/1102 
POLICY.WORKFLOW_STEP_2=[POLICY.35513(GROUP.irsubmitter)] name=Biology
 object=COLLECTION.299 handle=88435/1103 
POLICY.WORKFLOW_STEP_2=[POLICY.35514(GROUP.irsubmitter)] name=Chemical and 
Biological Engineering
 …


If you are interested I can push the code in the next couple days.

Subject: RE: using two google analytics accounts in DSpace

We do something similar. We rolled it out a while ago, before the new the new 
“Universal” thing. If you look at the source of 
http://researcharchive.vuw.ac.nz/ there are two google code sections. The first 
is our hand-rolled cross-site google code:

script language=javascript type=text/javascript 
src=http://library.vuw.ac.nz/library/sites/all/themes/custom/library2/js/jquery/jquery-1.5.2.min.js;
 // /script
script language=javascript type=text/javascript 
src=http://library.vuw.ac.nz/library/sites/all/themes/custom/library2/js/LIB/lib.ga.js;
 // /script
script language=javascript type=text/javascript
LIB.GA.init();
LIB.GA.trackPageview();
/script
/div

Which was cut-and-pasted directly into the skin that we’re using. Below that is 
the default code:

script type=text/javascript
   var _gaq = _gaq || [];
   _gaq.push(['_setAccount', 'UA-6716162-1']);
   _gaq.push(['_trackPageview']);

   (function() {
   var ga = document.createElement('script'); ga.type = 
'text/javascript'; ga.async = true;
   ga.src = ('https:' == document.location.protocol ? 
'https://ssl' : 'http://www') + '.google-analytics.com/ga.js';

Re: [Dspace-tech] DSpace 4.1, JSPUI and IE 9 menu display issue

2014-05-06 Thread Brown, Jacob
Hi Mike,

You'll need to comment out the filter rule on the navbar-inverse class as well 
(which is the filter actually applied to the navbar).

If you want to preserve the header gradient, and don't care about supporting 
IE8, you can just add the following rule to .navbar-inverse (after commenting 
out the filters):

background-image:url(data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSIxMDAlIiBoZWlnaHQ9IjEwMCUiIHZpZXdCb3g9IjAgMCAxIDEiIHByZXNlcnZlQXNwZWN0UmF0aW89Im5vbmUiPgo8bGluZWFyR3JhZGllbnQgaWQ9ImcyNjciIGdyYWRpZW50VW5pdHM9InVzZXJTcGFjZU9uVXNlIiB4MT0iMCUiIHkxPSIwJSIgeDI9IjAlIiB5Mj0iMTAwJSI+CjxzdG9wIHN0b3AtY29sb3I9IiMzQzNDM0MiIG9mZnNldD0iMCIvPjxzdG9wIHN0b3AtY29sb3I9IiMyMjIyMjIiIG9mZnNldD0iMSIvPgo8L2xpbmVhckdyYWRpZW50Pgo8cmVjdCB4PSIwIiB5PSIwIiB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiBmaWxsPSJ1cmwoI2cyNjcpIiAvPgo8L3N2Zz4=);

This rule (generated from 
http://ie.microsoft.com/TESTDRIVE/Graphics/SVGGradientBackgroundMaker/Default.html)
 does pretty much the same thing as the vendor-prefixed background-image 
gradients.

Hi Jacob,

Thanks for the pointers.

 I can confirm that removing the CSS filter property for the navbar fixes 
 the issue on the JSPUI demo (of course, doing so will also remove the 
 gradient).

Could you possibly provide some more details on how you achieved this as I've 
just been trying but have been unable to get it to work :-(

I tried commenting out the filter property of the navbar in both 
bootstrap-theme.css and in bootstrap-theme.min.css, so I had:

.navbar {

- but this didn't seem to make any difference. Looking at the source, it 
appears that it is (on the homepage at least!) bootstrap-theme.min.css that 
is being used and I did manage to make some progress by adding 
position:static; to the navbar definition in that file (against the 
recommendations on the pages you pointed to!) - so I had:

.navbar {
  position: static;
  background-image:-webkit-gradient(linear,left 0,left 
100%,from(#fff),to(#f8f8f8));
  background-image:-webkit-linear-gradient(top,#fff,0%,#f8f8f8,100%);
  background-image:-moz-linear-gradient(top,#fff 0,#f8f8f8 100%);
  background-image:linear-gradient(to bottom,#fff 0,#f8f8f8 100%);
  background-repeat:repeat-x;
  border-radius:4px;
  
/*filter:progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.gradient(startColorstr='#',endColorstr='#fff8f8f8',GradientType=0);*/
  -webkit-box-shadow:inset 0 1px 0 rgba(255,255,255,0.15),0 1px 5px 
rgba(0,0,0,0.075);
  box-shadow:inset 0 1px 0 rgba(255,255,255,0.15),0 1px 5px rgba(0,0,0,0.075) }

- after doing this, the pop-up menus worked fine in IE v9 (hooray!) but the top 
of the page had been pushed down with a load of white space above which is no 
good (boo!) - also tried position:relative and position:fixed but the menus 
just went back to being broken again with these values (boo hoo!)  . . . .

I'm definitely no css aficionado (I probably know just about enough to be very 
dangerous) so would welcome any other pointers or suggestions of stuff to hack 
that may help to fix this :-)

Cheers,

Mike

 This seems more like a Bootstrap 3 issue (although the theme 
 developers could have corrected it); see these related SO questions:

 I can confirm that removing the CSS filter property for the navbar 
 fixes the issue on the JSPUI demo (of course, doing so will also remove the
