Hi Vlastimil,
                    I am really thankful for your concern but i was able to
find such a tool that is availbale with default dspace which served my
purpose. Actually me and my friend had to implement a whole software library
using dspace. We couldn't have done it manually using the web interface
because the library was really vast.
So, we finally decided to use some scripts and programs to serve our
purpose. Since we knew how to upload a large amount of data using batches.
The only thing that we required was to find a way so that we could create
communities and collections in large numbers using the codes we have made.
Then we found out about "Collections and communities structure importer".
Well this was more or less like a command line tool we needed. I think you
might be aware of it, if not you may find about it here..

[dspace-source]/dspace/docs/html.legacy/application.html#structbuilder

We wrote a code that could create that xml file and then that command is
executed creating communites and collections in the required format..

Regards,
Shashank Sahni

Subject: [Dspace-general] JASIG conference and call for proposals
Message-ID: <3700FFE4-67AB-4928-A112-B0F3C3945E52@dspace.org>

Dear members of DSpace ( sorry for cross posting):

Last year a number of us attended the JASIG conference and it was  
great to learn and share experiences with other developers, managers  
and implementors of open source software.  In one place you can learn  
about five open source platforms in higher ed, what development  
technologies are being deployed, issues running and supporting open  
source ect.  If you are using or developing open source tools, you  
should consider going if you can.  In addition there will be a  
"Getting up and running with DSpace" workshop on Sunday and a DSpace/ 
Fedora developers meeting on Thursday.

Call for proposals is open until December 12th. The program is in 4  
tracks and the proposal can be DSpace specific.  We had some great  
presentations last year from Cornell U and others in the DSpace  
community. The tracks are:
     * Community Source Management/Governance: What are best practices  
for managing community source projects or their deployments on campus?  
For encouraging adoption? For gaining acceptance and campus buy-in?  
For engaging your community in the processes? Presentations for  
managers, team leaders, executives, planners and strategists.
     * Design and Development: For developers, architects, UX  
designers, testers. Presentations for people who build community  
source products, use them as a development framework or want to learn  
more about doing so. These are technical topics, tips and techniques,  
how-to's.
     * Deployment and Integration: Presentations for people who need  
to make applications work on campus: developers, content providers,  
team leaders, evangelists. In particular, we would like to highlight  
work that integrates community source projects within the enterprise  
infrastructure and with each other.
     * Multiple Audiences: Presentations that span multiple projects  
or audience types. Community source project introductions and overviews.

I hope to see you there,  best, Michele Kimpton

Message-ID: <CD140218-C325-49AE-A906-FBE61BC93B4A@dspace.org>

DSpace developers, (sorry for cross post)

Come play in the sandbox with your fellow open source developers Feb  
9-13 2009 at developer happiness days in London.  We hope to see as  
many developers there and plan on having special workshops on building  
web services for DSpace 2.0, and building common plugins and tools for  
DSpace and Fedora platforms.  See details below.

best, Michele
Executive Director DSpace Foundation

What is "developerHappinessDays" (tag: "dev8D"):

Developer Happiness Days(http://docs.google.com/View?docid=dfccf5n6_134hjmgk6ht 
) is JISC's way of saying "thank you" to developers for all the hard  
work they do.  Of course the question is: how do you show your  
gratitude to a developer who spends all their free time on a  
computer?  Well other than beer, bowling and video games (which dev8D  
will have plenty of) we provide them with the gift of more development  
skills!  It's pretty simple: a.) give them the opportunity to show off  
the work they do to someone who can appreciate it (other developers),  
b.) provide them with the opportunity to learn new frameworks,  
languages and techniques; and c.) throw in the ultimate VIP rock-n- 
roll developer barcamp... RESULT: happy developers building  
applications faster than ever!  Developers work better when happy and  
when the cost is zero to attend there really is no reason why you  
shouldn't be sending your entire team to JISC's "Developer Happiness  
Days"!  Space is limited so book now!

Summary of planned events (see below for details):

     * Pre Event Workshops - Newbies Pre-Event Code Labs: Ruby,  
Python, Perl (need you know more?)
     * Main Event - The Developer Decathlon: "Show us the future"  
contest, w/ $15k worth of prizes up for grabs
     * Community Project Meetings: VLE, Repository, OPAC, ePortfolios,  
CMS, CollaborationTools
     * Roll-your-own event: Please email event organisers to request  
meeting space for your own meeting

Call for Papers, Posters and Workshops

Repositories are being deployed in a variety of environments  
(education, research, science, cultural heritage) and contexts  
(national, regional, institutional, project, lab, personal).  
Regardless of setting, context or scale, repositories are increasingly  
expected to operate across administrative and disciplinary boundaries  
and to interact with distributed computational services and social  
communities. It is the aim of the Open Repositories Conference to  
bring together individuals and organizations responsible for the  
conception, development, implementation and management of digital  
repositories, as well as stakeholders who interact with them, to  
address theoretical, practical, and strategic issues.

A program of papers, panel discussions, poster presentations, user  
groups, and workshops or tutorials will bring together all the key  
stakeholders in the field. Open source software community meetings for  
the major platforms (EPrints, DSpace and Fedora) will also provide  
opportunities to advance and coordinate the development of repository  
installations across the world.
Submission Instructions

Conference papers: We welcome two- to four-page proposals for  
presentations or panels that discuss theoretical, practical, or  
administrative issues of digital repositories that focus on areas  
represented by the conference themes. Abstracts of accepted papers  
will be made available through the conference's OCS site; all  
presentations and related materials used in the program sessions will  
be deposited in the upcoming Open Repositories 2009 community in  
Georgia Tech's institutional repository, SMARTech  
(http://SMARTech.gatech.edu).

User Group Presentations: Two- to four-page proposals for  
presentations or panels that focus on use of one of the major  
repository platforms (EPrints, DSpace and Fedora) are invited from  
developers, researchers, repository managers, administrators and  
practitioners describing novel experiences or developments in the  
construction and use of repositories.

Posters: We also invite developers, researchers, repository managers,  
administrators and practitioners to submit one-page proposals for  
posters.

Workshops: Proposals for workshops for repository managers and  
developers can be accommodated on day four (May 21, 2009) of the  
conference. Please contact the local arrangements team for inquiries  
about workshop facilities at or09info at library.gatech.edu.

Please submit your paper through the OCS system administered by  
Georgia Tech. The OCS system will be linked from the conference web  
site (http://conferences.library.gatech.edu/or/or09) and will be  
available for submissions as of December 1, 2008.

Hi Simi,

we are not using the xmlui, but we changed this setting in the web.xml by
setting a  <session-timeout> in <session-config>
The web.xml of the xmlui is in
[dspace-src]/dspace-xmlui/dspace-xmlui-webapp/src/main/webapp/ WEB-INF

Hope that helps

Subject: [Dspace-general] 4th Workshop on Institutional Repositories 2009:
	1-3 April 2009
Message-ID: <49386608.1050.00C0.0@up.ac.za>

* Apologies for cross-postings *

Colleagues

Following the need for training and support on implementing institutional repositories in developing (and also in some instances developed) countries, it is our privilege to announce that a 4th Institutional Repository Workshop will be hosted by the University of Pretoria (South Africa) during 2009. Visit the University of Pretoria at http://www.up.ac.za 

About this workshop
Modern computer technology is barely 50 years old, and few of us have seen
or used digital objects that are more than 30 years old. Add to this that we
can't predict the future of computer technology, it puts us in a very
vulnerable position when deciding on which approach to follow when
preserving our digital assets (incl. research). More and more African as
well as South African institutions/organizations are starting to implement
digital preservation strategies and repositories in order to collect,
disseminate, manage, preserve, and index their digitally born and
non-digitally born assets, following a world-wide paradigm. In addition to
preserving intellectual output, an open access digital repository can also
help improve the visibility, usage and impact of research conducted at your
institution on the world out there.

The aim of this workshop will be to equip colleagues from all sectors with
the necessary skills to implement a digital repository - from compiling and
implementing an e-strategy, conducting a needs analysis, compiling a
business plan, proposal, installing the necessary software (we will be using
DSpace open source software), digitization and copyright issues, up to
giving exposure to the repository and the role of librarians and faculty.

Program and more info: http://www.library.up.ac.za/irtoolbox/workshop.htm 

Who should attend?
Project Managers, IT staff & Library staff with the responsibility to
implement a digital institutional repository at their institutions, from all
sectors of life - higher education, private institutions, public departments
etc.

Date: 1 - 3 April 2009

Venue: University of Pretoria, Main Campus, Lynnwood Road (Orange Lab,
Informatorium Building 67), Pretoria, South Africa

Costs: R 1 800,00 per delegate (incl. VAT) (SA Rand)

Please register online: http://www.library.up.ac.za/irtoolbox/registration.htm 

Closing date for registrations and payments: 28 February 2009

Hi,

I've been on holidays so I didn't reply sooner.

I have +200 book pages all on DSpace, as part of my project I am
supposed to provide a index for those pages (in a PDF file with
links). Any idea how to do this?

Regards,

Luis

Hi, Luis,

You can try the script bin/generate-sitemaps to generate a text file 
containing all urls of your items.

Do some simple editing then you can convert it into html or other 
document formats. Print it as PDF file to get your needed pdf.

Regards,
Allen Lam.

Dear community,

Both Brad McLean( technical director for DSpace Foundation) and myself  
gave a presentation to members of the DSpace community this week at  
CNI in Washington D.C.  I have posted both presentations on the wiki  
at : http://wiki.dspace.org/index.php/Foundationpresentations

The first presentation outlines the projects and priorities of the  
Foundation for 2009.  The second presentation outlines the work being  
done and roadmap  for the 2.0 release.  I apologize there are no notes  
with this presentation, but hopefully you will get the gist of it by  
reading the slides.  We hope to increase communication with the  
community using webinars, podcasts and video in 2009 so we can reach a  
broader set of folks.

Please feel free to post comments on the wiki or email Brad or I  
directly.

best,
Michele Kimpton
Executive Director, DSpace Foundation

Subject: [Dspace-general] redirection to 'community-list.jsp'
Message-ID: <636642.39462.qm@web25405.mail.ukl.yahoo.com>

Hi all,
?
i'm working with 1.5.1 version -with the jspui- and i'm dealing with the following problem:
?i have been trying to get the redirection in the jspui from the 'ldap-form.jsp' (where the ldap authorization is acquired) not to the '/mydspace' page but to '/community-list.jsp' page.
i've looked through the JSPs and java files which are relative to ldap&authorization for a link like '/mydspace' but didn't find anything execpt one in the 'authenticate.java'file but this is not for this specific redirection. Has anyone found it?
In the xmlui these is a parameter for that called xmlui.user.loginredirect but what about the jspui?
How/where(=in which file) can i declare which url should a user be directed to after he/she has logged into the system?


Merry Xmas,
Mavroudi Anna

This is issue is slightly complicated. The URL that the user is redirected
to is in Authenticate.java (line 145) as you have found:

 - originalURL = request.getContextPath() + "/mydspace";

However... this is only used if a user requested the login screen, rather
than DSpace redirecting them there, in which case DSpace decides where to
forward them to. For example if a user tries to access a restricted item,
and they are not logged in, then they will be redirected to the login
screen. Once they have logged in, DSpace will then forward them to the item
they requested.

If you want to log in directly, then visit
http://your-dspace/jspui/ldap-login and if you have changed the line in
Authenticate.java then they should be redirected appropriately.

If this is not happening, it is probably because your users are clicking on
'My DSpace' in order to log in. This tries to take them to their 'My DSpace'
screen, but first requires them to log in. Once they have done so, they are
redirected to the page they wanted, My DSpace. DSpace is sending them to the
destination that they requested.

If you want all users to be redirected to a different URL all of the time,
then change the following code in Authenticate.java:

 if (originalURL == null)
 {
     // If for some reason we don't have the original URL, redirect
     // to My DSpace
     originalURL = request.getContextPath() + "/mydspace";
  }
  else
  {
     // Set the flag in the session, so that when the redirect is
     // followed, we'll know to resume the interrupted request
     session.setAttribute("resuming.request", new Boolean(true));
  }

Change this to just:

  originalURL = request.getContextPath() + "/community-list";

I hope this helps,


Stuart

Subject: [Dspace-general] Controlled vocabulary searching
Message-ID: <CD9697DE891F0A47902434CBDFBE28AB021D89A5@NDMSEVS33A.ndc.nasa.gov>

Hello,
 
I have recently uploaded a controlled vocabulary into Dspace and it is
working with the submission forms searching within the metadata.  The
problems is that when I go to subject search and try to filter my
controlled vocabulary I just get a blank page.  I've been researching if
there is something I have to do to set up the filter but I can't find
anything.  Can anyone offer assistance?
 
Thank you in advance,
 
Barbara
