make changes to discovery.xml

[Alex B]

Dear colleagues, how to make changes in discovery.xml?

We added the dc.type:* value to the discovery.xml file, which is a query by document type.

The expected result is a filter with the distribution of records by type, for example,
Article 10
Preprints 11
etc.

for example - for Has files and Item Type :

But it didn't work out that way. We tried to run the /dspace index-discovery command after modifying discovery.xml.

Help me please understand how to make changes to discovery.xml.

Best regards,

Alex

Hi Alex,

The "DefaultFilterQueries" is used for every single filter.  It doesn't create a new filter section.  See it's docs at: https://wiki.lyrasis.org/display/DSDOC7x/Discovery#Discovery-Addingdefaultfilterqueries(OPTIONAL)

I think you are trying to add a new Filter section?  If so, you'd want to look at the sections on adding a new *Facet* (each of those filter sections is called a Facet in Solr/Discovery). https://wiki.lyrasis.org/display/DSDOC7x/Discovery#Discovery-ConfiguringlistsofsidebarFacetsandsearchFilters   

For better examples, you should look at how the that "Item Type" section is configured in discovery.xml.  In the discovery.xml, that entire section is setup using the "searchFilterEntityType" filter/facet.   If you look at how that is setup, it should be a guide for what you are looking for, as it is simply a facet/filter on a single metadata field (dspace.entity.type).  The "searchFilterAuthor" (Author filter), "searchFilterSubject" (Subject filter) are also good examples.

Dear Tim, sorry to bother you.

The new index (publication type) is added to the existing ones after adding it to dspace.cfg: webui.browse.index.6 = pubtype:metadata:dc.type.*:text (marked in the figure) and restarting tomcat. But there is no reaction to any changes in discovery.xml.

1) What steps need to be taken in order for the changes made to discovery.xml to take effect and become visible on the web interface?
I ran reindexing (it works), restarting Tomcat and Angular (yarn rebuild ). I don't see any effect.
2) There is a line in discovery.xml:
<!--Use site to override the default configuration for the home page & default discovery page-->
<entry key="site" value-ref="homepageConfiguration" />
site is a keyword or should we substitute the domain name of our site instead?
I added <ref bean="searchFilterType" /> to sidebarFacets and searchFilters for defaultConfiguration and homepageConfiguration (as Tim suggested).
Maybe we don't understand what a homepage is? This is the homepage of the site or homepage discovery (where is it? where to catch changes?)

Best regards,

Alex
