View all threadsSet default of Title Translation Language to Chinese
The help so far has been very useful as I try to meet near deadlines. Thank you for the past and future help. I will follow up on the threads to indicate what we did so that the Talk archive can have solutions as well as questions._____
We would like the object form's Title Translation Language to default to Chinese.
I think the way to achieve this is to change the line of a copy of base-collectionobject.xml from the master copy:
~/cspace_source/cspace-application/tomcat-main/src/main/resources/defaults/base-collectionobject.xml
The useful lines appear to be:
<repeat id="titleTranslationSubGroupList/titleTranslationSubGroup"> <field id="titleTranslation"> <selector>object-identification-object-title-translation</selector> </field> <field id="titleTranslationLanguage" autocomplete="vocab-languages" ui-type="enum"> <enum> <default>urn:cspace:core.collectionspace.org:vocabularies:name(languages):item:name(eng)'English'</default> <blank-value>Please select a value</blank-value> </enum> </field> </repeat>
And I believe the one line should be changed to:
<default>urn:cspace:core.collectionspace.org:vocabularies:name(languages):item:name(zho)'Chinese'</default>
My question at this point is where to store my customized copy of this base-collectionobject.xml file. My inclination is to put it in the bundle directory for the Tenant (sdchm here). I have searched but have not found a document that gives advice on this. Perhaps mentioning the specific XML file is not the way to go for this search.
Also, I suppose that it is necessary to run mvn install again to make the file part of the active system.
These tests are presently being done on a local copy in VirtualBox but will be migrated to production when we are happy with all of the customizations.

Hi James,
There's a recent example of how a tenant's configuration can override
defaults, for CollectionObjects and other record types, here:
And here - this is how you reference your customized configuration files:
An overview of customizing configuration can be found here:
And here's a detailed walk-through of the process:

I think I am getting closer but I am still not able to get the Chinese selection on the Title Translation Language field. I have other changes to make along this line but figure that until I get this working, I can't proceed to the others that involve changing values of the static and dynamic term lists used in the object cataloging form.
I've tried to follow the examples that were given in the linked documents and adapt them to our situation. Here is where I stand:
I have a local VirtualBox with CSpace 4.3 installed on an Ubuntu 14.04.4 installation. It has been initialized and I can save both terms and objects. When I start to catalog a new object, I expect the Title Translation Language field to be selected as Chinese.
I am working from the "step by step" link provided._____
No changes were made to the settings.xml file ( ~/cspace_source/application/tomcat-main/src/main/resources/tenants/sdchm/settings.xml )._____
I did slightly modify the sdchm-tenant.xml file ( ~/cspace_source/application/tomcat-main/src/main/resources/sdchm-tenant.xml ) to reflect the desired merge file:
<cspace-config tenantname="sdchm">
<version>11</version> <include src="settings.xml,local-sdchm-settings.xml" merge="xmlmerge-settings.properties" strip-root="yes" />
<spec> <include src="base-relations.xml"/> <include src="base-schemas.xml"/>

The rest of the file is unchanged._____
I have a sdchm-collectionobject.xml file ( ~/cspace_source/application/tomcat-main/src/main/resources/tenants/sdchm/sdchm-collectionobject.xml ) with just the changes that I thought were needed (for now). This is the complete content of that file:

</record>
The files are owned by the cspace user and group and have what look to be correct permissions (664).
Next the files were installed:
cd ~/cspace_source/application; mvn clean install -DskipTests
The services layer was updated and the servers started again:
$CSPACE_JEESERVER_HOME/bin/shutdown.sh -forcesleep 30cd ~/cspace_source/services/services/JaxRsServiceProviderant deploy_services_artifacts$CSPACE_JEESERVER_HOME/bin/startup.sh
The messages seemed normal enough, if verbose.
I cleared the browser cache (Chrome: Download History, Cookies, Cached Images and Files, Hosted app data) for the past week.
I tested in the browser by logging in, starting a new record. Right now no language is selected in Title Translation Language. For the longest time it was defaulting to English.
Since my values were not showing up, I followed the first suggestion and visited the following local URL to initialize the application layer:
http://192.168.56.10:8180/collectionspace/tenant/sdchm/init
My hopes were raised when I saw part of my edited sdchm-tenant.xml file as a response:
cspace-config re-loaded<cspace-config tenantname="sdchm">
<version>11</version>
<include src="settings.xml,local-sdchm-settings.xml" merge="xmlmerge-settings.properties"
strip-root="yes" />

<include src="base-collectionobject.xml,sdchm-collectionobject.xml" merge="xmlmerge.properties"/>
<include src="base-authority.xml"/>
I did another shut down and start up of the servers and cleared the caches again per suggestions._____
Next I looked for the most recent merged cache file and found this file:
/usr/local/share/apache-tomcat-7.0.57/temp/merged-app-config-6386489495469381254/merged-base-collectionobject.xml_sdchm-collectionobject.xml-.xml
Looking inside it showed what I hoped to see:
<repeat id="titleTranslationSubGroupList/titleTranslationSubGroup"> <field id="titleTranslation"> <selector>object-identification-object-title-translation</selector> </field> <field id="titleTranslationLanguage" autocomplete="vocab-languages" ui-type="enum"> <enum> <!-- <default>urn:cspace:core.collectionspace.org:vocabularies:name(languages):item:name(eng)'English'</default> --> <default>urn:cspace:sdchm.bpoc.org:vocabularies:name(languages):item:name(zho)'Chinese'</default> <!-- JK 2016-06-12 set default to Chinese --> <blank-value>Please select a value</blank-value> </enum> </field> </repeat>_____
At this point it feels very close but some little detail is preventing it from working as it should.
Perhaps at some point I changed too much when trying to follow the examples and apply it to this case.
I think I have the right values for the select list based on a Chrome Inspect Element of the rendered HTML.
Perhaps a fresh and experienced set of eyes will spot something I have missed.

Since my values were not showing up, I followed the first suggestion and
visited the following local URL to initialize the application layer:
http://192.168.56.10:8180/collectionspace/tenant/sdchm/init
My hopes were raised when I saw part of my edited sdchm-tenant.xml file as
a response:
cspace-config re-loaded<cspace-config tenantname="sdchm">
<version>11</version>
<include src="settings.xml,local-sdchm-settings.xml" merge="xmlmerge-settings.properties"
strip-root="yes" />
<spec>
<include src="base-relations.xml"/>
<include src="base-schemas.xml"/>
<records>
<enum-blank>Please select a value</enum-blank>
*<!-- JK 2016-06-12 add custom sdchm-collectionobject.xml file to system -->*
<include src="base-collectionobject.xml,*sdchm-collectionobject.xml" merge="xmlmerge.properties"*/>
<include src="base-authority.xml"/>
I did another shut down and start up of the servers and cleared the caches
again per suggestions.
Next I looked for the most recent merged cache file and found this file:
/usr/local/share/apache-tomcat-7.0.57/temp/merged-app-config-6386489495469381254/merged-base-collectionobject.xml_sdchm-collectionobject.xml-.xml
Looking inside it showed what I hoped to see:
<repeat id="titleTranslationSubGroupList/titleTranslationSubGroup">
<field id="titleTranslation">
<selector>object-identification-object-title-translation
<default>urn:cspace:sdchm.bpoc.org:vocabularies:name(languages):item:name(zho)'Chinese'</default>
<!-- JK 2016-06-12 set default to Chinese -->
<blank-value>Please select a value</blank-value>
</enum>
</field>
</repeat>
At this point it feels very close but some little detail is preventing it
from working as it should.
Perhaps at some point I changed too much when trying to follow the
examples and apply it to this case.
I think I have the right values for the select list based on a Chrome
Inspect Element of the rendered HTML.
Perhaps a fresh and experienced set of eyes will spot something I have
missed.

Hi James,
There's a recent example of how a tenant's configuration can override
defaults, for CollectionObjects and other record types, here:
And here - this is how you reference your customized configuration files:
An overview of customizing configuration can be found here:
And here's a detailed walk-through of the process:

Thank you for the past and future help. I will follow up on the threads to
indicate what we did so that the Talk archive can have solutions as well as
questions.
We would like the object form's Title Translation Language to default to
Chinese.
I think the way to achieve this is to change the line of a copy of
base-collectionobject.xml from the master copy:
~/cspace_source/cspace-application/tomcat-main/src/main/resources/defaults/base-collectionobject.xml
The useful lines appear to be:
<repeat id="titleTranslationSubGroupList/titleTranslationSubGroup">
<field id="titleTranslation">
<selector>object-identification-object-title-translation
And I believe the one line should be changed to:
<default>urn:cspace:core.collectionspace.org:
vocabularies:name(languages):item:name(zho)'Chinese'</default>
My question at this point is where to store my customized copy of this
base-collectionobject.xml file. My inclination is to put it in the
bundle directory for the Tenant (sdchm here). I have searched but have
not found a document that gives advice on this. Perhaps mentioning the
specific XML file is not the way to go for this search.
Also, I suppose that it is necessary to run mvn install again to make
the file part of the active system.
These tests are presently being done on a local copy in VirtualBox but
will be migrated to production when we are happy with all of the
customizations.
