Re: [dspace-community] Edit Collections

[Kim Shepherd]

Hi Johanna,

It is likely that you haven't initialized any entity / relationship types in your DSpace database yet.

There is a command for the dspace launcher 'initialize-entities -f /path/to/relationship-types.xml' and a default relationship-types.xml in dspace/config/entities/ directory.

Before running this I recommend you have a look through the documentation at https://wiki.lyrasis.org/display/DSDOC7x/Configurable+Entities to make sure the default relationship configuration, metadata registry entries, etc. suit your needs and I usually try to remove anything that I don't plan on using, before performing this initialization.

Hope this helps!

Kim

Hi all,

In dspace 7.5, create collections, but when editing to select an entity type, the entity types are not displayed.

Any suggestions what I should do?

Thanks, it worked.
And one more question please, you cannot see the thumbnails of the publications, I have uploaded some in .jpg and .pdf format

[Kim Shepherd]

Hi Johanna, glad to hear it! Generating thumbnails and extracting fulltext from documents is done with a scheduled `filter-media` task, which is documented at https://wiki.lyrasis.org/display/DSDOC7x/Mediafilters+for+Transforming+DSpace+Content

Hope this helps!

Hi  Kim,

I am also facing the same problem; I tried following the same documentation about initializing the entities by running the command. I don't know if I am to follow another step after that, but the entity field is empty.

Attached is my dspace log.

[Kim Shepherd]

Hi Olayiwola, there aren't any errors to worry about there (the database bean exception is normal - all launcher commands unfortunately give that error, it is spurious, caused by spring).

Could you share the exact command you're running?

You can also check the state of the database by connecting to it with psql or another postgresql client and running the query "SELECT * FROM relationship_type"

Cheers

Kim

Hi Kim,

I ran this command: ./dspace initialize-entities -f dspace/config/entities/relationship-types.xml
 

A query of the database as you suggested returned this:

 id | left_type | right_type | leftward_type | rightward_type | left_min_cardinality | left_max_cardinality | right_min_cardinality | right_max_cardinality | copy_to_left | copy_to_right | tilted
----+-----------+------------+---------------+----------------+----------------------+----------------------+-----------------------+-----------------------+--------------+---------------+--------
(0 rows)

I think the path might need adjusting -- config/entities/relationship-types.xml should be relative to your dspace.dir, so for example if you have dspace installed in /dspace/ then your path should also have that leading slash eg /dspace/config/entities/relationship-types.xml or if it's in /usr/local, it would be /usr/local/dspace/config/entities/relationship-types.xml

(or, since it looks like you are in ${dspace.dir}/bin when you run the command, ../config/entities/relationship-types.xml will probably work)

Cheers

Kim

<< I think the path might need adjusting>>

This worked. Big thanks for the support.
