Missing button on submitting an item to a collection

[hb wooley]

1 - In the new DSpace 7 UI there is not a button "Submit to this Collection" on the collection home page like in DSpace 6. How would I add a button to the DSpace 7 collection home page like the button on the collection home page in DSpace 6?

2 - In the admin side menu on DSpace 7 UI, when submitting a new item, a popup menu appears "New Item ==> Create a new item in". The problem I'm having is the parent community and collection name are not displayed ,which causes a problem, because I do not know where the item is being submitted too.

Example: My communities, collections, etc... look like this:

• ORG_1
  • LAB_1
    • Publication
      • Technical Report
      • Special Report
      • Technical Note
      • Miscellaneous Paper
  • LAB_2
    
    • Publication
      
      • Technical Report
        
      • Special Report
        
      • Technical Note
        
      • Miscellaneous Paper
        
• ORG_2
  
  • LAB_1
    
    • Publication
      
      • Technical Report
        
      • Special Report
        
      • Technical Note
        
      • Miscellaneous Paper
        
  • LAB_2
    
    • Publication
      
      • Technical Report
        
      • Special Report
        
      • Technical Note
        
      • Miscellaneous Paper
        
      
      

 The drop down displays only : 

I would like for the dropdown to contain the full path of the parent child relationship. 

Example: 

1 - ORG_1 - LAB_1 -Publication - Technical Report

2 - ORG_2 - LAB_1 -Publication - Special Report

How would I modify the Angular code to show the full breadcrumb path?Any help would be appreciated.

Hi,

This issue is noted in a ticket at https://github.com/DSpace/dspace-angular/issues/2556

As I've also noted in that ticket, there is a way to achieve the same behavior from DSpace 7 (to submit to the current collection).  But, the process is not as user friendly as a button.  See this comment: https://github.com/DSpace/dspace-angular/issues/2556#issuecomment-2163345393

This ticket/task is still waiting on a volunteer developer.  I'd also like to see this improvement as it will improve usability.  But, DSpace is built/maintained by volunteers & has no centralized developer team.  Therefore, I'm still waiting to find a volunteer for this task.

Tim,

I've tested the method you noted and it worked as described. Thank you for this information!
