[Dspace-tech] Question re: Manakin Themes wiki page

[ALISTAIR Q. HOWARD]

Hi,

I've come across the following wiki page
https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSPACE/Manakin+Themes
and had a question regarding the statement I've pasted below.

Note 2: Unlike editing dspace JSP pages to change the look of your site, it
seems you can edit all these files 'in place' in your
tomcat/webapps/manakin/themes folder without redoing *ant* to build the
*.war files. You still need to restart tomcat. (I assume cocoon 'compiles'
the stylesheets or something)


While I've discovered myself that this is possible, it goes against what the
Dspace Manual for 1.6.0 says (ie that changes need to be made in
[dspcace-source]. I assume this is because any changes made as above would
be lost on a rebuild or update?

Moreover, is it true that those changes can not safely be made in the
[dspace] directory? These would also be lost if I redid ant? OR would they
be OK?

Thanks,

Alix Howard

[Dspace-tech] Just one collection/community: can I hide menu for communities?

[ALISTAIR Q. HOWARD]

I'd like to establish an instance of DSpace in which all submissions go into
a general community and a single collection within that community...My
question is can I do that and direct browsers to the default collection
without having them go through the Collections and Communties choices on the
front page?

I am running 1.6.2 on a laptop for development purposes.

Thanks for any advice.

Best,

Alistair Howard
