[GeoNetwork-users] How to edit existing metadata and understanding user accounts

Robert_Buckley · January 17, 2012, 10:37am

Hi,

I´m new to GeoNetwork os and have installed it under Ubuntu 10.04 in tomcat6.

There are a few little problems which I need to solve in order to get this thing going...

1. GUI design. I would like to simply put my own banner at the top instead of the default banner. I searched for all references to the logo "header-left.jpg" and found these files...

metadata-fop.xsl
res.xsl
banner.xsl:
metadata-license-annex.xsl
xml_to_html.xsl

I changed the header-left.jpg to my own logo in all these files, but the logo is not changed. Where /how do I set a new logo in the banner with a new background colour?

2. Thumbnails . (metadata.thumbnail.form)
When I check the scale to size box and upload a file, I always get a null pointer exception???

3. user groups / metadata groups?
I deleted the samplegroup and created my own group for my organisation. However this group is not visible when creating new metadata and the samplegroup is still there!...or am I confusing user groups with metadata groups....in which case..how can I make a new metadata group?

4. How do I create a template similar types of metadata? i.e I have a group of shapes containing wind turbines for different towns. They will all have the same content apart from the name which contains the town name. I want to only create one metadata file and copy the contents and just change the title. They are not children , but siblings!

5. What is the concept of child metadata?

thanks for any help,
yours,

Rob

Hi Robert,

The logo on the main page is controlled in banner.xsl within the <xsl:template name="banner">

The colour in the banner is controlled in the geonetwork.css:

td.banner {
  font-size: 8pt;
  color: #ffffff;
  //background-image: url('images/blue-background.gif');
  border-bottom: 1px solid #ffffff; /* moved here from tr since IE accepts it only here */
}

You will need to restart tomcat/jetty to see the changes

James
