Error - No Collections Available

nirvine

I get this message on the Collections tab of Pawtucket 2.

I have three collections, all have public access.

How can I fix this?

As there has been no advice on how to fix this, I have removed the Collections tab from the header.

Did you try configuring the types of collection to display in the section? You need to set that in the landing_page_collection_type setting in app.conf

nirvine

Thanks for replying. And thanks also for enabling emails on thread updates.

I have tried adding either landing_page_collection_type={cihp} and landing_page_collection_type = cihp to the file pawtucket/themes/default/conf/app.conf And I have reset pawtucket/themes/default/views/pageFormat/pageHeader.php to include collections.

What is the correct syntax for the command?

seth

The latter... but I mistyped. It's in collections.conf, not app.conf

nirvine

It Works! Many Thanks.

Same problem with me.

Dear CA users,

I have a question close to previous nirvine's one: how to present internal and external collections?

In collection.conf, the default is: landing_page_collection_type = internal

I could change this to: landing_page_collection_type = external

But it would present only external... I would like both.

Or, if it is not possible by this way, I would like to present, at first internal collections, followed by external collections.

Thank you.

Darrigan were you able to add two different collection types?

I was trying to display all collections but no success

darrigan

No ? So I added a link to Explore -> Collections

Look here (in french):

Thanks to discovering this thread, I got my Collections page working, AND discovered the next issue about having to choose between displaying internal and external collections.

I have tried looking for documentation about configuring the Collections page but I am only finding support forum threads with answers that are sometimes hard to make sense of. It would be nice if we could get a documentation page on https://manual.collectiveaccess.org for collections.conf the way there are pages for app.conf, browse.conf, etc.

I gave a way to do it (by touching the code) here: https://support.collectiveaccess.org/d/300133-300133/7
