[Dspace-tech] Filter by language - search

[Searle, Shannon]

Hello again,

I have a number of foreign language papers in the repository and I have been asked if it is possible to filter by language -some have multiple dc.language settings? I see it is indexed in dspace.cfg but not showing up in the search filter...does anyone know where that is set so it shows in the search/sort filters? It's DSpace 4.2....

Thanks!
Shannon

Hi Claudia,

    So the configuration should be something like:

<bean id="searchFilterLanguage" class="org.dspace.discovery.configuration.DiscoverySearchFilter">
    <property name="indexFieldName" value="language"/>
    <property name="metadataFields">
        <list>
            <value>dc.language</value>
        </list>
    </property>
</bean>


These lines must be add in the file ../config/spring/api/dicovery.xml.


That is it?

Thanks
Luiz

https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSDOC4x/Discovery#Discovery-ConfiguringlistsofsidebarFacetsandsearchFilters

"After modifying sidebarFacets and searchFilters, don't forget to reindex existing items by running [dspace]/bin/dspace index-discovery -b, otherwise the changes will not appear."

If you also want facets:

"Each sidebar facet must also occur in the list of the search filters."

Thanks Claudia, that was very helpful!

Thanks everyone, that is working now for DSpace 4. The configuration needs to be added in three places in discovery.xml - in /dspace/config/spring/api /discovery.xml

Around line 109

103 <!--The search filters which can be used on the discovery search page-->
104 <property name="searchFilters">
105 <list>
106 <ref bean="searchFilterTitle" />
107 <ref bean="searchFilterAuthor" />
108 <ref bean="searchFilterSubject" />
109 <ref bean="searchFilterIssued" />
110 <ref bean="searchFilterLanguage" />
111 </list>
112 </property>

And near line 209
207 <!--The search filters which can be used on the discovery search page (same as defaultConfiguration above)-->
208 <property name="searchFilters">
209 <list>
210 <ref bean="searchFilterTitle" />
211 <ref bean="searchFilterAuthor" />
212 <ref bean="searchFilterSubject" />
213 <ref bean="searchFilterIssued" />
214 <ref bean="searchFilterLanguage" />
215 </list>
216 </property>

And the definition of the filter as suggested by Luiz

<bean id="searchFilterLanguage" class="org.dspace.discovery.configuration.DiscoverySearchFilter">

316 <property name="indexFieldName" value="language"/>
317 <property name="metadataFields">
318 <list>
319 <value>dc.language</value>
320 </list>
321 </property>
322 </bean>

A couple more things:
In the drop down for the filter name it shows up as xmlui.discovery.SimpleSearch.filter.language – I would have expected to change it in messages.xml in
/dspace/webapps/xmlui/i18n/messages.xml, but for the default language English actually you have to change it under
/dspace/webapps/xmlui/WEB-INF/classes/aspects/Discovery/i18n/messages.xml:

89 <message key="xmlui.ArtifactBrowser.SimpleSearch.filter.author">Author</message>
90 <message key="xmlui.ArtifactBrowser.SimpleSearch.filter.title">Title</message>
91 <message key="xmlui.ArtifactBrowser.SimpleSearch.filter.subject">Subject</message>
92 <message key="xmlui.ArtifactBrowser.SimpleSearch.filter.dateIssued">Date issued</message>
93 <message key="xmlui.ArtifactBrowser.SimpleSearch.filter.language">Language</message>

And finally you need to re-index using discovery-index –b as suggested by Hilton Gibson if that term is not already being indexed.

Thanks everyone!

Shannon

Dear All,

 

I am trying to do the same as explained below but using Dspace 5.2. I added all the below steps and re-indexed but nothing is taking effect! Where the changes should appear?

 

I am opening the Filters dropdown in the discover page but the language is not listed in the Filters dropdown.

 

What can I do?

Thanks!
