[Archivesspace_Users_Group] need help customizing text in ArchivesSpace

[Janet Hack]

So, I finally got some time to get back to this and still can't get it to work.

After updating the en.yml file located at plugins/local/public/locales/ to the following:

en:
 brand: McDaniel Archives
  title: McDaniel College Archives Catalog
  home: Home
  welcome_message: HEY HEY HEY! !
and restarting the server, I get the following fatal error message in the log:
 I18n::InvalidLocaleData (can not load translations from /opt/archivesspace/archivesspace-2.7.0/plugins/local/public/locales/en.yml: #<Psych::SyntaxError: (/opt/archivesspace/archivesspace-2.7.0/plugins/local/public/locales/en.yml): mapping values are not allowed here at line 3 column 8>
?Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I think that doc is out of date, this might be more update:
https://github.com/archivesspace/tech-docs/blob/master/customization/locales.md




Although, that doc has an error in the whitespace/indentation of the example. “brand:”  should be less indented.  — Steve.

One thing to check:  the spaces and indentation in .yml files are significant, and you can’t mix tabs(*)  with spaces, so you should make sure that you haven’t accidentally inserted a tab when editing.  You can edit the file in place for testing, but for normal production, I advise copying the values you want to change into plugins/local/public/locales/en.yml and editing them there.  But again, you have to be careful to preserve .yml hierarchy.

You may also eventually want to try copying some of the shared view templates into plugins/local/public/views/shared/   and editing those.
It’s easier to manage upgrades if you keep your changes in plugins directories.

(*) In fact, googling this, I see it doesn’t like tabs at all. Must be only spaces.

Greetings,

we are new to ArchivesSpace and are trying to change the wording on our public-facing pages https://archivesspace.mcdaniel.edu/. We want to change the header title from the standard "ArchivesSpace Public Interface" and we would like to put in a custom welcome message. I have tried editing the en.yml file following the instructions at https://archivesspace.github.io/archivesspace/user/customizing-text-in-archivesspace/ with no success.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Please feel free to contact me off-list.
