    Further info :
    in gallery.conf I see this: gallery_set_description_element_code = set_description
    This support response makes me think it's possible that fixing it will help me
    https://collectiveaccess.org/support/index.php?p=/discussion/299450/cant-get-public-set-gallery-descpription-displayed-in-pawtucket2
    But I'm still unsure.

    I suppose a broader question is "it seems sets are very different beasts from other entities" how do I request aaaaaaalll the info for a set, assuming I have a set_id.

    @animoveronica_twitter It is probably easier to edit an existing profile. Look at pittartgallery for example. You can also add new fields through the UI if you don't want to write XML

    @TBthegr81 Check the multipart_id_numbering.conf file?
    @thiagodemellobueno Take a look at the lightbox code
    That works on full sets
    Sophie
    @pinkfishies
    @thiagodemellobueno You can load the set_id into a new set object and then just the get() function to display any metadata you want
    From a display standpoint it is very similar to how we display other page metadata

    Thank you @pinkfishies
    I will try this out.

    Thanks @pinkfishies, you helped untangle me.
    One additional question.

    If I wanted to change the 'representation_tag' in the gallery sidebar:

    $va_first_items_from_set = $this->getVar("first_items_from_sets");
...
$va_first_item = array_shift($va_first_items_from_set[$vn_set_id]);
...
<?php print $va_first_item["representation_tag"];?>

    to something other than icon to say medium where would I do that?
    Couldn't find much on my own by working backwards from the gallery view.

    I'm now modifying the gallery controller, which has those hard-wired.
    Is there a way to override this more elegantly?

    Hi :) I have a question [Providence1.7.3]:
    I would like to search (or make searchable) the permanent ID defined by the system, for example: "object_id / 178970" from URL
    http://mysite.com/index.php/editor/objects/ObjectEditor/Edit/object_id/178970
    Is it necessary to make this information a field (metadata element) or would I be able to insert this data automatically into the created record?
    Is it possible? Any tip?
    CollectiveAccess
    @collectiveaccess
    @thiagodemellobueno No there isn't at the moment. The gallery is fairly inflexible. We are working on changing this.
    @bib_mais_twitter You will need to add the field to search_indexing.conf and reindex

    @collectiveaccess Thanks a lot !

    @collectiveaccess Thank you! I will have a look at pittartgallery profle and attempt making changes via UI.

    @collectiveaccess Do you know if the Pitt museum profile is available for common use? I cannot find it within the CA site, or forums. Or by searching online. But it looks perfect for us!
    CollectiveAccess
    @collectiveaccess
    @animoveronica_twitter I'll try to find a copy for you
    pittartgallery.xml
    Here you go

    @collectiveaccess oh wow! thank you so much. :D

    Let me know if you have questions. I know that profile well.

    @animoveronica_twitter
    OK, will do.

    @collectiveaccess regarding my previous question about google map api key, is it possible to make this lookup field work with another free api? If yes, which api and how to use it?
    CollectiveAccess
    @collectiveaccess
    @naeemmuhammad Maybe, but it's not something we're planning to pursue in the near future

    Does anyone have an efficent way to edit access for records and media so that I can set them all to 'accessible by public’. I am considering a data map to append each record based idno with public access setting. The same would for the media representations.
    CollectiveAccess
    @collectiveaccess
    @bowbot_twitter Try using the batch editor

    @collectiveaccess I have several thousand records all with media. Is there a less maual approach?
    CollectiveAccess
    @collectiveaccess
    @bzotivla You can edit the navigation.conf file (in app/conf/) to remove those if you wish
    @bowbot_twitter Batch processing is too manual for you?
    You can always just write a sql query I guess
    UPDATE ca_objects SET access = 1;
    UPDATE ca_object_representations SET access = 1;
    bowbot
    @bowbot_twitter
    @collectiveaccess OK OK—I misthought your response as using the spreadsheet edit option like in search results and not the true batch edit option like in sets. Thank you !

    Is the wiki down? I've been trying to get installation guides for collective access for a while, but it never shows up

    Hi, CA does not have REST API for file uploads, something that I really would like to use. So I made a hackish workaround with Puppeteer: https://github.com/artturimatias/CA-uploader

    When setting up pawtucket2 to browse exhibits or tours, which .conf and which view do I use or start with to create custom views?

    Hi, I have a data source that contains multiple object types but as far as I can see the import mapper only allows one 'type' under settings. This results in all objects being imported as one type. Is there a way around this or must the data the source be compiled for one object type only.

    Please ignore the above - solved

    Hi all. Does anybody have experience with indexing Chinese text in CA? The database does also contain Western text. Thanks in advance.

    Hi everybody. I'm trying to reprocess media from caUtils but I get a PHP Fatal Error stating my php installation doesn't support mysql. Any idea on how I can fix this?

    @mbutel_twitter Make sure the command line install on your server is configured to use all of the extensions of your web install

    Hi all! [using Providence1.7.3]:
    I would like to make available and searchable (in search form) two elements:
    • Relationship type (we created about 70 relations and we need filter them)
    • User name (ca_users) to select registers created by an specific user
    Is it possible do that? Any idea?
