Just a follow up to point 1. I have just discovered that the functionality
for displaying multiple metadata values has recently been added in to Greenstone.
The syntax in the format statements is
[sibling:Subject] or [sibling(All'<br>'):Subject]
The first version will display all the Subject values separated by
a space, the second will separate the values by <br> (or whatever is
between the '')
This will be available in the next release of Greenstone, which should
be ready next week, or the week after at the latest.
hi Joel
1. Greenstone is bad at handling multiple values for metadata - i.e.
it doesn't. This is something we have been intending to add, but haven't
yet :-( which doesn't help you much.
The way we have got around this in the past is to edit the plugins
that are being used, to make an extra metadata field - eg in your case,
have dc.Subject and perhaps dc.Subjects, which has all the subject values
appended together separated by <br>.
2. Your version of greenstone has a bug in ImagePlug - have a look through
the code - its in gsdl/perllib/plugins/ImagePlug.pm, and find where it
assigns the thumbicon metadata.
$doc_obj->add_metadata ($section, "thumbicon", "<img src=/gsdl/collect/gsarch/index/assoc/[assocfilepath]/[Thumb]
width=[ThumbWidth] height=[ThumbHeight>");
There is a missing ] at the end of ThumbHeight. Add that in and reimport
and build the collection.
Hope this helps

Hello
all, I'm using Greenstone
with my MLS class on Digital Libraries at Simmons College in Boston.
We're putting together a sample digital library, and I've got two questions
that I can't seem to get answers in the docs for: 1)
How does one display multiple values for a metadata field? IE, we've
got documents that have more than one value of DC.Subject, and I'd like
to display all the values, with a <br> in between. 2)
When using [ThumbIcon] to display the thumbnail, there is no "height" value
going into the <IMG> tag that is generated. It just goes to "height="
and then doesn't even provide a right-bracket. The thumbnails are
being generated with ImagePlug. We're
using v 2.40 on a Linux installation. Thanks
for any help,Joel
