[GeoNetwork-devel] How to cuztomize interface of Geonetwork 2.6.4?

GeoNetwork GeoNetwork Developer

Hi,

I want to customize the interface of Geonetwork 2.6.4, according to the
following:-

1. On main page there should be only a flashy buttons for uploading &
downloading data, search field and registration button.
When the upload/download button is clicked, the user should be navigated to
the registration page and after that, in case of downloading data - the user
must be able to see the list of all downloadable data, and in case of
uploading data - page should be opened for entering data.
In case of search the user should be navigated to a page containing all
search results.
In case of registration, the user should be navigated to registration page.

2. Is it possible to have all these functionalities ajax based?

Please could someone help me from where I should take the start, and for
this do i need to download the source code from svn?

Please guide me as we need to launch our portal by the end of this month.

Best Regards,
Saher

You can change the config-gui.xml to specify which service is the “home” service. So create a new service which is your home page. To do this:

  • edit config.xml and add a service
  • add service to user-profiles.xml
    look at another service defined in config.xml for an example on how to create a service

For branding you can change the header.xsl to change the header on virtually all pages. And you can change the geonetwork.css for more customizations

  1. Is it possible to have all these functionalities ajax based?

Please could someone help me from where I should take the start, and for
this do i need to download the source code from svn?

The source is now on github: https://github.com/geonetwork/core-geonetwork

You don’t need the source for these changes. you can build a war. Extract it. make your customizations and re-compress it and upload it to a server. Or just install it in a server and edit there.

I am planning on deploying geonetwork artifacts to maven central repository soon. That will allow you to make a maven project that can overlay your changes over the basic war and that way you can have a project with only your changes.

Hi Jesse,

Thank you so much, I will try to follow as you have mentioned.
It would be of great help if you are going to deploy geonetwork artifacts to maven central repository.
Looking forward to it.

Kind Regards,
Saher

Hi Jesse,

After editing config.xml and adding services to user-profiles.xml, I'm able
to design a new user home page, please you also provide me some guidance
related to following question:

1. When a user click on a 'Downloads button' - that i have set on home page
- the user should be able to see the list of all downloadable data?

I will be very grateful for you help.

Best Regards,
Saher

All that is attached to metadata.
For example, when we go to the following link, the user is able to see list of all the Metadata

http://localhost:8080/geonetwork/srv/eng/main.search

Now i want to display list of all those metadata that has some downloadable data.

there are a few methods you can do this:

  1. Do an ajax request for all metadata with an attachment and then process the result and display it with javascript
  2. Create a second service that is configured with a predefined search and create an xsl to display it. Then from your first page you can call that service for downloading the data.

For the first solution the query you probably want is:
http://tc-geocat0i.bgdi.admin.ch/geonetwork/srv/eng/q?fast=index&from=1&to=20&download=true

For the second solution you might be able to use the existing search:

http://localhost:8080/geonetwork/srv/eng/main.search.embedded?download=true&hitsPerPage=10&output=full

or implement your own.

You can look at the definition of main.search.embedded (in config-metadata.xml) for inspiration on how to do that.

THe url I gave you is the embedded url. It is intended to be embedded into another html page. If you want a standalone page use:

http://localhost:8080/geonetwork/srv/eng/main.search?download=true&hitsPerPage=10&output=full
