Lib4ridora

Introduction

A module for specific customizations for the Library for the Research Institutes.

Requirements

This module requires the following modules/libraries:

• Islandora
• Islandora Scholar
• Islandora Plupload
• Islandora Solr Metadata

Installation

Install as usual, see this for further information.
There is also a Lib4RI specific mini-HowTo for Github related interactions.

Usage

XML Form Field Filtering

Fields in Islandora XML forms can be filtered by either role or permissions, by settings some properties in the "User Data" (under "More Advanced Controls", the third tab in the form builder; corresponds to #user_data in the form element array).

First, to activate this behaviour on an element (and all sub-elements), add lib4ridora_field_filter, with the value of true.

Then:

• To add a restriction to a single role to a field, add the property lib4ridora_field_filter_role on the particular field you wish to restrict. The value of the property must be the name of the role. To allow multiple roles, properties can be added prefixed with lib4ridora_field_filter_role_ and ending with an arbitrary suffix. Note that properties on each field must be unique (attempting to specify multiple properties with the same name will result in only the last one being applied).
• To add a permission restriction, the same process as roles may be used, substituting the string "permission" for role: So properties named lib4ridora_field_filter_permission or prefixed with lib4ridora_field_filter_permission_, with the value being the name of the permission as might be passed to user_access(). Note that the Drupal's superuser (user '1') will always have permission when using permission restrictions.

Role and permission restrictions may be combined in the same element.

When restrictions are specified on an element, the element (and its children) will only be shown if the current user has one of the specified roles or one of the specified permissions.

For example, if one wanted to allow access to an element to those with the "Replace datastreams" permission or the "metadata manager" or "repository administrator" roles, your configuration might look like:

Islandora Solr Metadata Author and Org linking

The lib4ridora_mods_pseudo_field pseudo-field has been introduced to produce markup for authors in Solr Metadata displays (see: admin/islandora/search/islandora_solr_metadata). The produced markup should create a link to both:

• Documents by the same author
• Documents from the same affiliated organization 2021-03-30: Added a similar field called lib4ridora_mods_pseudo_field_funding to compose a markup string combining different funding details with correspoinding search links.

Context-based Islandora Solr Metadata Displays

The ability to associate Solr metadata configurations according to the MODS genre on ir:citationCModel objects has been facilitated via the menu path at admin/islandora/solution_pack_config/lib4ridora/solr_metadata.

Escaped HTML and plain-text in XML from text_format elements

In order to facilitate the inclusion of markup in records, parallel to plain-text variants based on values provided from text_format elements, two element process functions have been implemented:

• _lib4ridora_target_text_format_to_fully_escaped
• _lib4ridora_target_text_format_to_plain_text

When specified on an element (either programmatically, or in the XML Form Builder in the "More Advanced Controls" -> "Process" section on a given element), these elements will look for a #user_data['lib4ridora_target_text_format'] value ("More Advanced Controls" -> "User Data", with the key lib4ridora_target_text_format) containing a JSON list of offsets within the form, indicating the location of a text_format element. We allow for the magic value .. to be used at the beginning of such a set of offset, to permit targeting text_format elements in a relative fashion... only of particular import for recurring elements in tabs/tabpanel (or fieldpanel/fieldpane) implementations.

Elements with these process functions must occur later in document order than the elements they target; otherwise, they will not be able to lookup the target values in order to build their own.

The expected patterns of use have been implemented in an example form (lib4ridora example text_format form). Effectively, this boils down to:

• the text_format element targets the XML element made to contain the escaped HTML in its read XPath, to show the content when editing (or creating using template XML).
• a hidden element made to contain the plain-text via the _lib4ridora_target_text_format_to_plain_text function, with create, read and update XPaths (and delete, if relevant; no read), with #user_data['lib4ridora_target_text_format'] specified to point at the above text_format element.
• a hidden element made to contain the escaped HTML via the _lib4ridora_target_text_format_to_plain_text function, with create, read and update XPaths (and delete, if relevant), with #user_data['lib4ridora_target_text_format'] specified to point at the above text_format element.
