[Dspace-tech] Actions

2008-06-16 Thread solomon kariri
I have installed dspace and I would have submitted a number of documents.
The problem I have is that when I click the view link in the items details
page the browser starts to download the file. I want to change this such
that if the format of the item or bistream is supported, dspace converts it
to html and send the resulting html to client. Is there a way I can change a
setting to enable this feature.

There is not. DSpace does not contain anything that will convert any
imaginable file format to HTML. (How would this work for an image? A
soundfile?)

If you can find converters for the file formats you are likely to
ingest, you may be able to write a MediaFilter to add an HTML
bitstream, which could then be set as the primary bitstream.
