Improve documentation of the CdmNoParent fetcher manipulator #381

Closed mjordan closed 7 years ago

mjordan commented 7 years ago

I am not fully understanding why we need the CdmNoParent fetcher manipulator. By default, CONTENTdm browsing, which is what is used by the Cdm fetcher, only exposes top-level objects, not ones that are children of compound objects. The wiki entry for this manipulator suggest that this is not the case.

I'll do some testing to see if I can better understand why we need this manipulator and update the wiki entry accordingly.

Looking at this wiki entry and the code now, it's clear - since collections can contain both compound and non-compound objects, this fetcher manipulator allows you to configure the Cdm fetcher to exclude compound objects. Closing.
