Issue about make record editable. Need guideline.

[mariczone]

Geoportal 1.2.7 has new function that make record editable such as record that come from upload method to editable.

but as we already know that geoportal metadata editor is not exhaustive. so some field may be not matching with geoportal editor.

Example: ISO 19115 Data XML(Upload)

<gmd:language>
  <gmd:LanguageCode codeList="http://www.loc.gov/standards/iso639-2/php/code_list.php" codeListValue="eng">eng</gmd:LanguageCode>
</gmd:language>

But in geoportal editor, For Element:Language we accept only gco:characterstring not gmd:LanguageCode

<gmd:language>
        <gco:CharacterString>eng</gco:CharacterString>
</gmd:language>

So, I try to customize editor but I need some hint to do it. File: XTN_Language for using in editor of 19115

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!-- gmd:language -->
<g:element xmlns:g="http://www.esri.com/geoportal/gxe" 
           xmlns:h="http://www.esri.com/geoportal/gxe/html"
           g:targetName="gmd:language"** g:minOccurs="0" g:maxOccurs="1"
           g:preferOpen="true" g:label="$i18n.catalog.iso19139.MD_Metadata.language"
           g:extends="$base/schema/gco/basicTypes/CharacterString_PropertyType.xml">
  <g:body>
    <g:element g:value="en"/>
  </g:body>
</g:element>

What I want is customizing this file to accept both gco:characterstring and gmd:LanguageCode like below

<g:element g:targetName="gmd:language">
  <ifsuggest name="gco:CharacterString" g:extends="...use this form.."/>
  <ifsuggest name="gmd:LanguageCode" g:extends="...use this form.."/>
</g:element>

But I don't know how to do like these on this file. Can u show me some guideline or hint or document about what can i do with these file?

Thank you.

Hi @mariczone . Have you taken a look at the crash course document? https://github.com/Esri/geoportal-server/wiki/GXE-Crash-Course it helped me create some customizations. Hopefully it can help you too.
