Displaying Related Sources on Collection Pages

Customization
1

Hello CurateScape community,

I am hoping to see if it is possible to display other Dublin Fields on Collection pages. Specifically, I am hoping to display the “Sources” Dublin Core field, so that I can present the sources I consulted when writing the collections’ descriptions. On CurateScape now you can enter sources into the back end for an Item and they’ll display at the bottom (see below). Can this be done for Collection pages too? By “Collection pages” I mean the landing pages a user sees when they click on the collection titles. On that page I’d like to display the Sources field, which is coming from the back end of the Collection page in question.

If I recall, you’re already making edits to the theme, yes? If so, I’d say just edit the collections/show.php template and add something like the following.

<?php
$sources = metadata($collection, array('Dublin Core','Source'),array('all' => true));
if($sources){
  echo '<div class="meta-related-resources">';
    echo '<h3 class="metadata-label">Sources Consulted</h3>';
    echo '<div class="meta-style"><div class="related-resources"><ol>';
      foreach($sources as $source) {
        echo '<li>'.$source.'</li>';
      }
    echo '</ol></div></div>';
  echo '</div>';
}
;?>

That should give you the same basic HTML markup as on the item records and I think most of the styles should then just be applied as you’re expecting. Of course, this may still need some tweaks to be an exact match so you may want to dig in to the existing CSS styles.

This worked flawlessly. Thank you, Erin.
