How to post the values through api

[geethanjali alaguraj]

Hi,
  Is anyone know how epersongroup2eperson and community2collection table was stored?

I have created a new table called eperson2community in that i want to store the eperson_id and community_id.


It is like i have created a column in new user register page (i have attache the image for that) normally when a user register its values were stored in database like email, password in eperson table. So i have added an new dropdown field called community there i have fetch the available community names from the database.

Now when the user submit the form i want to store the community_id from the selected community name through drop down and the eperson_id in eperson2community table.


And also i want to know is there any end points for this 2 tables : epersongroup2eperson and community2collection

Hi,

 

The functionality you’re creating sounds interesting but it’s important to be aware that it’s not really how DSpace is designed to work.

 

It’s open source software so of course you can absolutely do this! But:

1. It’s likely that no-one else has done what you’re doing before so there may not be anyone on the list with the expertise to answer your questions.
2. The API and other core functionality won’t have been designed to support your use case so you may need to change a lot of code in order to make it work. If something breaks while you do this, probably no-one else will know how to help you troubleshoot (see #1).
3. If you change the database structure/code, it will be more difficult to upgrade to take advantage of new functionality or (more importantly) security patches.

 

There are projects out there that have extended DSpace database structure/code/functionality in interesting ways so it definitely can be done. But my impression has been that quite a lot of work is involved so I’d suggest making sure you understand the full scope of what you need to do (both in initial development and longterm maintenance) before you get too involved.
