[Archivesspace_Users_Group] Digital Objects: mailto in the File URI field?

[Christine Di Bella]

Hello Mark,

There are changes coming to how File Versions display in the public interface in the next version of ArchivesSpace, so I would recommend checking those out before making changes across all of your records. That said, it may be better anyways to use a plugin or some other way to direct people to a single destination for your digital objects, rather than use that field in a way that's not its intent. Do you need published File Versions for these records at all? Maybe the published Digital Object record itself is sufficient for your purposes, with a more prominent note with the contact information.

Hi Mark,

I am not an expert on HTML coding... but out of curiosity, I tried adding a mailto link in the fil version as well as in a note field.

I could not get the mailto to work in the file version either, but I was able to make it work in a notes field. But since you are concerned about the visibility of the notes field...

Short of messing around with the PUI layout etc. can you have a static website page with the mailto link and other information regarding accessing digital assets and use the URL to that page in the file version for all the digital objects? Use the caption field on the file version record to put whatever text you want the "button" to say.

Does that make sense?

Cheers,

[EXTERNAL]

All,

I have a question:

Rather than a link to a File URI for Digital Objects, we'd just like to have some kind of Notice (exactly similar to the red box/button that pops up for File URIs) rendering a single "mailto:" link. Is there a way to do this? That File URI field does not accept mailto links, otherwise we'd just put our mailto's there.

We tried putting something in the Notes field, but are afraid it's too far Below The Fold for such a notice.

Advice appreciated,

Mark
