Hi Masa What version of greenstone did you download? Where from? If you got it from www.greenstone.org/caveat-emptor<http://www.greenstone.org/caveat-emptor> - these are nightly builds and we don't recommend tto use these unless you are developing. Please download the 3.12 version of greenstone from www.greenstone.org/download<http://www.greenstone.org/download> and try that. If that is, in fact, what you did download, then - * can you run the server ok? (without gli) * try restarting gli again - do you get the same error each time?

Hi there, Please try in a terminal window navigating to the Greenstone3 folder and running gs3-setup.bat. Does that give any errors? If not, run gs3-server.bat from the same folder. If that had no errors, try accessing localhost:8383/greenstone3 in a browser. Does that work?

Hi Renate,
You are using the following choose-title template:
<gsf:template name="choose-title">
<gsf:choose-metadata>
<gsf:metadata name="dc.Date"/>
<gsf:metadata format="FormatDate" name="dc.Date"/>
<gsf:metadata name="Title"/>
<gsf:default>No date</gsf:default>
</gsf:choose-metadata>
</gsf:template>
This will display the first item that matches - a plain dc.Date. If you remove that first dc.Date line, then the formatted version will be the first one in the list, and will be used.
Regards,
Katherine

Subject: [Greenstone-users] Display of date in friendly format
Hi,
I have a collection of PDF files. I am not satisfied with the display of the date in the Subject classifier. I would like to see the date displayed in human format under the Subjec; See screenshot.
What should be changes in the collectionConfig,xml?
Thanks for the help.

Hi again Renate, I have updated the favourites page in the wiki. https://wiki.greenstone.org/doku.php?id=en:user:favourites The <paramDefault name="favouritebasket" value="off"/> part needs to be added to siteConfig.xml's top level <format> element. Then restart the server, and use a new private window for testing. All this does is set the default value to off, and the user can turn it back on in preferences. To disable them completely for a collection, use the custom gslib technique. Regards, Katherine ________________________________ From: Greenstone Digital Library Team via Greenstone-Users <gre...@li...> Sent: Friday, 3 October 2025 1:38 pm To: greenstone-users <gre...@li...>; rmo...@iw... <rmo...@iw...> Subject: Re: [Greenstone-users] Disabling Favourite basket per collection Hi Renate, I just had a try of this, and its not working at all. I thought maybe it only works if you put that paramDefault in the siteConfig, but thats not working either ๐ So I'll need to look into this. You can achieve it a different way. 1. If there is only one collection in the library, or you are happy with no collections having favourites: - edit resources/web/servlets.xml.in and set the favouritebasket init param to false for the servlet you are using. Then restart the server (ant-restart-with-exts.sh) 2. If you really just want to turn off favourites for only one collection, then add the attached gslib.xsl into the collection, into its transform folder (you may need to create that if it doesn't already have one). (use files tab in GLI, or on the command line go to web/sites/<sitename>/collect/<collname>) This just redefines the templates to display the stars and the link to favourites to be empty.

Hi Renate, This indicates there is something wrong with a stylesheet somewhere. Do you see any errors in web/logs/greenstone.log? You said you have made changes in the default interface? If other collections display ok, then that is probably not the issue. But if no collections display ok, then maybe these changes are to blame? If its just the current collection that is not working, then it must be a problem in - etc/collectionConfig.xml? or the collection's transform folder. You could try moving the transform folder out of the way (eg transform.tmp) so that its not being used. Does that change things? Anyway, hopefully the greenstone.log file will give you more clues about what has gone wrong.

Hi Renate, Because webswing GLI is running on a server, we don't allow open access into the filesystem. You can upload files into a collection using the upload button - one of the big buttons at the bottom of the Gather pane. As webswing only allows uploading one file at once, its best to zip up the files that you want to add, upload the zip file, then you can right click the zip file and unzip it. If your files are actually already on the server, you can manually copy them into the import folder using a terminal, then use GLI to add metadata and configure the collection.

Hi Renate, Webswing GLI will be running as the user that Tomcat is run as - Change Tomcat to be run using the same user that you installed greenstone as, and that you are using when you login to the server. This refers to the server users, nothing to do with greenstone users of the library.

Hi Renate, Are you getting lots of these messages or just a few? Is there any text in the specified files? Are these files automatically generated ones from eg Word/PDF processing? If they contain text that is not English, you could set a default encoding maybe to the plugin? Although depends what the original files are. Your collectionConfig would help. If you don't care that its happening and just don't want to see the messages, lower the verbosity of the import - to 2 or less.
