How to set up Tombstones in DSpace 7.6?

[Carolyn Sullivan]

Hello,

Right now when I delete an item, I see the message ' Are you sure this item should be completely deleted? Caution: At present, no tombstone would be left.' 

How do I configure tombstones in 7.6?  I can't seem to find any labels corresponding to tombstones.  In 6.3, there was a file tombstone.jsp, and customisable text corresponding to it in Messages.properties, ie: jsp.tombstone.title, jsp.tombstone.text

Any assistance would be dearly appreciated, and thank you so much for your time.

Best,

Hello Carolyn,

If you withdraw an item in the status tab instead of deleting it, the tombstone should be displayed automatically when you go to the item page when not logged in as an admin. The item won't be available via search after withdrawn, but if you enter the url of the item you will see a simple note that it has been withdrawn.

Kind regards,
Matthias

Oh!  Thank you so much for the explanation Matthias, much appreciated!

Have a lovely weekend,

Carolyn.

Hi,

On this note, I've filed an issue requesting to improve the default tombstones in DSpace 7+:

https://github.com/DSpace/dspace-angular/issues/2880

In previous versions of DSpace it was possible to add more information in the tombstone. I would like to at least be able to say this item was replaced by another, or whatever. For now I'm using Dublin Core metadata fields to say whether an item replaces another or was replaced (in the case of duplicates).

Regards,
