Changing default icons for representation viewer thumbnails

alcoma

Hi,
I haven't been able to locate info in the forum on where one can change the default settings for the representation viewer ; specifically icons and labels for certain item types. We only want to change thumbnail display for audio items: right now the default icon is too big and we'd like to make it smaller and display a title label. I know some changes can be made in the object_detail page but that won't do it all. Any tips greatly appreciated!

The mediaViewer views are here: https://github.com/collectiveaccess/pawtucket2/tree/dev/php8/themes/default/views/mediaViewers

Copy the one you need to edit into your theme and make your edits there.

Thanks, but I guess what I meant were default settings for the {{{representation viewer}}}.
Here is an example of the audio object with multiple representations - This shows the
rep thumbnails I'm trying to fix.

alcoma New idea after my previous message:
If you replace audioIcon72.jpg by audioIcon32.jpg, you will have an ugly icon of 32x32 pixels fitted to 72x72... It would be better to replace audioIcon72.jpg by an image file of same dimensions but containing a smaller 🔈 icon.
Here is the file that you can use:

(Rename your actual audioIcon72.jpg as audioIcon72.jpg-old and save my image at its place.)

Hi alcoma,
Nice collection!

The audio icon is located here: https://archives.otherminds.org/support/icons/audioIcon72.jpg
There is a smaller one here: https://archives.otherminds.org/support/icons/audioIcon32.jpg
You could change the size by copying audioIcon32.jpg and naming it audioIcon72.jpg to replace the previous file (make a copy in case you change your preference later...). But it is never clean to touch files like that...

(Remark: What is curious about this inventory sheet is that you have 4 audio files for something that should be a single concert, and that these 4 parts do not have a caption to know what they correspond to, or the order they should be listened to. I saw that in other cases on your site, there were sometimes several parts to a concert, and they each had their own record. Couldn't these 4 audio files be concatenated in listening order? Do you have other cases of records with multiple records, like this one?)

To add a caption for each record, you have to edit the file /themes/your_theme/conf/detail.conf
In the object {...}, option {...}, find:

			#
			# Representation viewer
			# 
			representationViewerPrimaryOnly = 0,
			representationViewerDontShowPlaceholder = 0,
			representationViewerCaptionTemplate = <div class='small'>^ca_object_representations.preferred_labels.name</div>,

You can edit representationViewerCaptionTemplate as you like.

For example in my case, I wanted to display also coverage dates and rights (rightsHolder and rightsText), so I edit as below. (These metadata elements are defined when you edit your representation.)

			representationViewerCaptionTemplate = <div class='small'>^ca_object_representations.preferred_labels.name<ifdef code="ca_object_representations.coverageDates"><br>^ca_object_representations.coverageDates</ifdef>
			<ifdef code="ca_object_representations.rights.rightsHolder"><small><br><i>Crédits : ^ca_object_representations.rights.rightsHolder</i><ifdef code="ca_object_representations.rights.rightsHolderLink"> <a href='^ca_object_representations.rights.rightsHolderLink' target='_blank'>🔗</a></ifdef></small></ifdef>
			<ifdef code="ca_object_representations.rights.rightsText"><small> — <i>^ca_object_representations.rights.rightsText</i><ifdef code="ca_object_representations.rights.rightsTextLink"> <a href='^ca_object_representations.rights.rightsTextLink' target='_blank'>🔗</a></ifdef></small></ifdef></div>,

Whatever you change, clear pawtucket and your browser caches to see the changes.
Does this help you?

Hi Darrigan,
Thanks for your advice!

Yes, the example here with the 4 audio representations is an anomaly, but is a situation that makes sense when we are dealing with multiple tracks from one item. The reps are in order to be played, but since I don't know where to change the thumbnail presentation, I can't add the "track title" with a smaller icon so its obvious what-is-what.

We already utilize a similar listing with our "Related Objects" ; the audio items include a preferred label w/ small icon. I could use that code as a reference if I only knew where to put it to get the result I want. I will play with the detail.conf to add the track title, but this can't apply to all items so I feel there must be little bits I am missing.
