Hi folks, I would like to include additional metadata to the previewed item descriptions on the Browse Items page. I am currently using the newest version of the default theme (Thanks, Roy) and it only shows the item title. As part of our collection, we created a unique Item Type Metadata (Oral History) titled “Quote” that includes a brief quote from the narrator, and I would like to incorporate this metadata. How would I go about doing this? I have tried messing with the browse.php but nothing updates once I do that.
In the default theme, “Thanks, Roy,” the content for each item on the browse page is controlled by the file items/single.php.
If you look in there, you’ll see there’s code that reads the 'Dublin Core', 'Description' element and shows it as the description. The simplest version of the change you’re talking about would involve just changing 'Dublin Core', 'Description' to 'Item Type Metadata', 'Quote'.
But you change that to show whatever you’d like, if you’d like to do something other than that simple replacement.
This worked perfectly! Thank you SO much!
