Disambiguate different forms of "external colllections" in search form and place all external collections at end of form #248

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. The inclusion of the Essig collection in the same category as SEINET, SCAN, and CSVC collections is confusing.

Describe the solution you'd like I think in the future we want to have two separate collections categories for (1) collections with NEON specimens only that are housed outside of the Biorepository and (2) non-NEON collections of specimens found at NEON sites

nfranz commented 5 years ago

Agreed.

  1. NEON Biorepository Collections.
  2. Additional NEON Collections.
  3. Other Collections from NEON sites.

Or something alike.

kyule commented 4 years ago

These changes also need to be implemented in the new search form from @arbolitoloco

kyule commented 4 years ago

(Somehow?) External collections category is now displayed in its alphabetical location rather than at the bottom.

kyule commented 4 years ago

OPAL collections will likely also need to be another category separated from other "external" collections

egbot commented 4 years ago

Fixed by explicitly defining collection category order within portal configuration file (e.g. $DEFAULTCATID = '7,4,3,5,1,2,6')

kyule commented 4 years ago

Thanks! External collections still need to be separated into different categories to better reflect what they are. We will be getting more of these collections, but for the moment this would look like:

Additional NEON Collections:

Other Collections from NEON sites:

Prototype and Legacy Collections:

egbot commented 4 years ago

Solution: 1) add a new collection category within omcollcategories, 2) assign collections to new category within collection metadata editor, 3) add category ID to symbini.php file. Ed, Laura, or Andrew are needed to do step 1 and 3

arbolitoloco commented 4 years ago

@kyule which of these new categories should be selected or deselected by default? Should we change our disclaimer on top of the search page?
