Add new categories to the dataverseType

[Santiago Florez]

Hi everyone,

Someone know how can i add new or remove categories to the list when we create a new dataverse?. I hope that someone can help with this.

The categories are hard coded. If you're saying you think another one should be added, the process would be to create an issue and then (after some discussion), a pull request. For example, "Laboratory" was proposed in https://github.com/IQSS/dataverse/issues/3046 and then added in https://github.com/IQSS/dataverse/pull/3070

The code has changed a bit since then. Here's where the enum lives these days: https://github.com/IQSS/dataverse/blob/v5.13/src/main/java/edu/harvard/iq/dataverse/Dataverse.java#L123-L146

I hope this helps!

Phil

We also had some trouble with these categories and I can suggest a "temporary solution" - if you need new one you can rename existing category via language files. That works for us.

Hi Philip and hi Jacek

Thanks for yours answers. I have other question, you kown how can I create my owns categories in a archive out of dataverse installation and merge it with the installation?

[Philip Durbin]

You would have to fork the code, which we don't recommend. Instead, can you please create an issue about this? Are you categories something that other installations might want? Or are they specific to your institution?

Hi Philip

The categories are specific to my institution

[Philip Durbin]

Ok. I just re-discovered a new, open issue that seems highly related: https://github.com/IQSS/dataverse/issues/9420

Please add a comment there with your use case. Alternatively, you are very welcome to create a new, more targeted issue as well, one that is focused on just the category. (A smaller chunk, as we like to say.) A new issue could have a title like "allow collection categories to be customized."

Thanks!

Phil

In language bundle directory search for file Bundle_en.properties (or Bundle_yourLanguage.properties) and inside search for:

# dataverse.xhtml

dataverse.type.selectTab.*

and:

#dataverse category - Facet Labels
