The Modify Settings is composed of a series of web forms to alter Numishare's configuration file, including collection titles, URLs, description, export functionalities, languages, available facets on the browse page, and some basic layout options. The Save button at the top of the page will write the configuration file to config.xml in the relevant eXist-db collection.

Each interface contains further documentation about individual settings.

On the left side of the page is a sidebar that contains a table of contents. Clicking on one of the following links will change the interface on the right side of the screen:

  • General Settings
  • Boilerplate
  • Local Types and Symbol Positions
  • Theme and Layout
  • Advanced Settings

General Settings

The General Settings form contains a handful of sections to change the following:

  • Titles and URLs
  • Collection Type: 'object', 'cointype', 'hoard'. The collection type dictates whether other interfaces or options are available in the Numishare public UI. For example, the Hoard Analysis interface is only available for the 'hoard' collection type.
  • Export: checkboxes to control whether the Pelagios and Nomisma RDF exports are linked from the project home page.
  • Facets: Add or remove facets that are available on the browse and maps pages. The order of these facets may be adjusted by clicking the up and own arrows.
  • Languages: contains checkboxes for languages that are available in the Numishare public interface. Note:* checking or unchecking languages requires re-indexing of the collection in Solr.
  • Google Analytics: copy and paste the Javascript code within the text box to activate analytics in Numishare.

Boilerplate

This page contains a number of fields that will pre-populate new NUDS records, e.g., maintenance agency, copyright holder, licensing terms, etc.

Local Types and Symbol Positions

Local Types are the values which are bound to the @localType attributes within the NUDS records. So far there is no restriction on the elements in which these Local Type attributes may appear. Local Types are repeatable. The required fields for each Local Type are "Attribute Value" (an xs:NMTOKEN, according to the XML Schema specifications) and "Textual Label," the human-readable label for the attribute. The language of the label must be specified. These labels are repeatable, but there must not be more than one language per label. This facilitates multilingual translations for Local Types.

Symbol Positions are similar in structure to Local Types. These values are bound to the @position attribute for NUDS symbol elements. Like Local Types, Symbol Positions require an "Attribute Value" and repeatable "Textual Labels" bound to languages. Additionally, a drop down menu for "Side" allows a user to specify whether the position is allowed on the obverse, reverse, or both sides of a coin.

Theme and Layout

The theme and layout page allows the user to select the layout of the images and metadata on the object record page (applies to physical object collections only) and the alignment of the facets on the browse page. A drop down menu for the theme is available. This drop down menu is generated dynamically from the themes that are available in the Numishare Themes Orbeon project (`oxf:/apps/numishare-themes). The default theme is called 'default.' See Numishare Themes for further documentation.

Advanced Settings

This page allows the user to change the URL for the Numishare Solr core. If running on Tomcat at the default port of 8080 on the same server as Orbeon, this URL should be http://localhost:8080/solr/numishare-published/

Note: it is important to include the trailing slash on the Solr URL.
