[GeoNetwork-devel] Customising zip file export

Hi List,

How easy is it to add an additional download option for metadata
records? I have a requirement for uploading csv files and creating
metadata for them, and then I'd like to download a zip file containing
both filename.csv and the metadata in the form filename-metadata.json.

It looks as if I should be able to create a formatter that re-enables
the "related records" export option for the current mef, so I think
that covers one part of my problem, but I'm not clear how/if I can
control the output so that it includes the json file rather than the
current xml output.

Any ideas would be gratefully appreciated!

Thanks

Jo

Hi Jo

Sorry for the late reply, probably you already solved, the code to add the xml it’s here:

https://github.com/geonetwork/core-geonetwork/blob/63ff3ea4ca01d44745fed4ce0d540f7979809046/core/src/main/java/org/fao/geonet/kernel/mef/MEFExporter.java#L120

In this PR there’s some code to call a formatter from Java code:

https://github.com/fxprunayre/core-geonetwork/blob/19f6b791c49084bc161eaf0abdb67e82592930fb/services/src/main/java/org/fao/geonet/api/records/formatters/cache/FormatterCache.java#L383-L407

An option would be to extend the MEF export to send the metadata formats to output and use the for json / csv a formatter.

Regards,
Jose García
