Creative Commons

Has anyone had problems with adding the creative commons license recently? The chooser page opens, but when carrying out the steps (choosing the license and adding information), I can't proceed... when clicking on "Done" the screen just "trembles"...

Which version of DSpace are you using, Eduardo?

Currently, I'm having difficulty adding a CC license in our test version of DSpace 7.5.  The step to add a CC license is present in the workflow, but when you click on the dropdown, it says 'No license available'.  Suggestions welcome :)  

Best,

Carolyn.

Hi, We have exactly the same problem  than you, Eduardo. We are running DSpace 5.4.

Hi. We have version 5.2. Apparently the behavior of the CC page is correct, but DSpace is not prepared to deal with the new page... Your problem seems to be different.

Hi All,

Unfortunately, it is very difficult to address issues in DSpace 5 as that version is no longer under support.  That codebase is also very old (began in 2015), so it is very possible that the Creative Commons API has been updated in a manner that is no longer compatible with DSpace 5. You could check your logs to see if there is additional information (or errors) logged, but it is possible that the issue is not easily fixable.

Regarding DSpace 7.x though, I can verify that Creative Commons licenses should work well.  However, there is one scenario where we are aware that there is a problem.  If you have a custom "http.proxy.host" or "http.proxy.port" configured in your dspace.cfg or local.cfg (on the backend), then CC Licenses may not work properly.  This is a subset of an open issue regarding these proxy settings at https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/issues/8603   That ticket is currently being worked on, and I'm hoping it will be included in an upcoming bug-fix release to 7.6.   If that's not the issue you are seeing, then I'd recommend following the troubleshooting guide to look for errors that may be occurring: https://wiki.lyrasis.org/display/DSPACE/Troubleshoot+an+error#Troubleshootanerror-DSpace7.x(orabove)
