Customising Document Library links

[Richard H.]

Way back in October '05 we suggested that the user be able to choose (on the submit form) which elements to present in the generated document library link when it appears on a Silva generated web page. At present we have:

Title
Download
Description
Version
Last Modified

Possibilities to add might include:

Available since (i.e. the available date)
Author(s) (their name(s) but NOT their email!)
Valid until (i.e. the expiry date)

[Richard H. (richard-hewison)]

We've now agreed to just add the 'Available since' information (showing the 'Available' property for a submission) on the proviso that the DL can automatically amend the 'available' property to reflect the actual available date rather than the originally submitted date (which might differ if a librarian approves early or doesn't approve until after the available date has been and gone).

[Kit Blake (kitblake)]

The available date is included in the feed. Silva needs to present this as an option. Changing assignee.
This will be the 'actual' date (see https://bugs.launchpad.net/documentlibrary/+bug/116157)

[Eric Casteleijn (thisfred)]

Should be shown now. Note that like for the solution to bug 116000, all existing 'service_doclib's need to be thrown away and created anew.

installed in the dl test silva.

[Richard H. (richard-hewison)]

The 'Available since:' link is now appearing, but we have an issue with the available date not changing if the doc is manually made available on a date prior to the specified 'available date'...

[Eric Casteleijn (thisfred)]

That is strange. I'm not sure if the document library is firing the right updated OAI events in that case. Will look into this with Martijn.

[Martijn Faassen (faassen)]

This is because the DL on Arana wasn't updated yet. We still need to plan this in.
