Version information not visible on DSpace-CRIS itempages #66

Open olli-gold opened 5 months ago

olli-gold commented 5 months ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. On DSpace 7 itempages the version history and references to a newer version of the item are visible. On DSpace-CRIS itempages (rendered with the DSpace-CRIS-Layouttool) this is not the case and the version information is only visible in the full item view. Example: https://tore.tuhh.de/entities/product/5928738a-5094-4a37-a7ef-ee438c4e0093 is version 1 of an item, but this is not visible on the item page, but only here on the full item view: https://tore.tuhh.de/entities/product/5928738a-5094-4a37-a7ef-ee438c4e0093/full grafik

Describe the solution you'd like We would like to have the version information visible on the item pages. For items, which have a newer version, there should be an information with a reference to a newer version and a version history on later versions referring to previous versions.

Describe alternatives or workarounds you've considered There is no workaround for that - the version information is only visible on full item view pages, but not on normal item pages.

Additional context I'm actually not sure, if this is a frontend or a backend problem, and I can imagine, that it's affecting both sides.

Hello "jor4science",

I would really like to contribute that development, but unfortunately I was not able to solve that on my own so far. As it's affecting any institution, who is using DSpace-CRIS and item versioning at the same time, I guess there may be others affected by this particular problem. Maybe there is anybody, who would like to co-fund this development? Or has any other institution even already solved this and would be able to provide a PR?

It was a bit easier as I thought and (with some very helpful hints from Florian Gantner) I was able to integrate the version information into the CRIS item page. Maybe that helps others as well and can be taken into DSpace-CRIS.
