Setting default EAD Download options?

[Matthew Adair]

Is there a way to set the default options for downloading an EAD through the staff interface? ie, Include DAOs, Number C tags, etc.

I looked through documentation and the config file but did see anything. Just want to make sure I'm not missing something.

I'd also be interested in hearing if there is a way to achieve it programmatically. We're already customizing the EAD exporter, so that would be something we are open to.

Matt,

 

I am aware of this plugin that matches your use case: https://github.com/duke-libraries/archivesspace-duke-export-option-defaults

Hey Matt,

 

+1 for Valerie’s suggestion and a plug for Awesome-ArchivesSpace if you want to look up other plugins, features, resources that the ArchivesSpace community has created and shared. It’s open for contributions too.

I appreciate the suggestions! I always forget about the Awesome-ArchivesSpace resource. 🤦

I looked at the Duke plugin and that wasn't quite the route I wanted to go. I'm hesitant about overriding the interface. We've been bitten by that before - the plugin ends up not being updated, and then new features don't appear after upgrades.

We have a plugin that does some interface styling and I was able to figure out a bit of Javascript to add to it that sets the default values after the page loads. It's not up on github yet, but this is the relevant block of code:

$( document ).ready(function() {
    try {
        // need to wait until this section has loaded in the document
        $(document).on("loadedrecordform.aspace", function(event) {

            $( "input#include-daos" ).prop("checked", true);
            $( "input#include-uris" ).prop("checked", false);
            $( "input#numbered-cs" ).prop("checked", true);
            $( "input#ead3" ).prop("checked", false);
            $( "input#include-unpublished" ).prop("checked", false);

        });
    } catch (error) {
        console.log (error);
    }
});
