Two questions on how data shows on Pawtucket from Providence

ralurore

What field should be used to make the BLANK no longer appear under photos/uploaded media? I cannot seen to populate that BLANK...
If a date is left blank, it is appearing as (). Is there a way to make the date simply not show, or to replace () with a space instead?

Also, it seems like the support forum has changed and clicking on the "add image" button is asking for a link now instead of an upload, so here is a link that highlights the two places I am writing about: https://imgur.com/jheVj03

ralurore I think the BLANK is the caption or label of the represention. The remove the data from the list of metadata shown, you will need to create your own theme and edit the views/Details/ca_objects_default_html.php file

Hi,
As Monica said, you can duplicate the folder themes/default to another name like themes/mytheme, and edit files to custom the display. Don't forget to set the new theme used in setup.php:
define("__CA_THEME__", "mytheme");

So in themes/mytheme/conf/app.conf you see an example on how to deal with this disgusting "BLANK":

# --------------------
# Alt text templates for media
# --------------------
ca_objects_alt_text_template = "<case><ifnotdef code='ca_object_representations.preferred_labels.name'>^ca_objects.preferred_labels.name</ifnotdef><if rule='^ca_object_representations.preferred_labels.name =~ /[BLANK]/'>^ca_objects.preferred_labels.name</if><if rule='^ca_object_representations.preferred_labels.name !~ /[BLANK]/'>^ca_object_representations.preferred_labels.name</if></case>"
ca_object_representations_alt_text_template = "<case><ifnotdef code='ca_object_representations.preferred_labels.name'>^ca_objects.preferred_labels.name</ifnotdef><if rule='^ca_object_representations.preferred_labels.name =~ /[BLANK]/'>^ca_objects.preferred_labels.name</if><if rule='^ca_object_representations.preferred_labels.name !~ /[BLANK]/'>^ca_object_representations.preferred_labels.name</if></case>"

If the name of the representation doesn't exists (empty) or is equal to "BLANK", it's replaced by the name of the object.

You could use this trick to do so in themes/mytheme/conf/detail.conf, where representationViewerCaptionTemplate is defined, and this should work.
Try by replacing the line:
representationViewerCaptionTemplate = <div class='small'>^ca_object_representations.preferred_labels.name</div>,
by:
representationViewerCaptionTemplate = <div class='small'><case><ifnotdef code='ca_object_representations.preferred_labels.name'>^ca_objects.preferred_labels.name</ifnotdef><if rule='^ca_object_representations.preferred_labels.name =~ /[BLANK]/'>^ca_objects.preferred_labels.name</if><if rule='^ca_object_representations.preferred_labels.name !~ /[BLANK]/'>^ca_object_representations.preferred_labels.name</if></case></div>,

For the date, you should edit themes/mytheme/views/Details/ca_objects_default_html.php and find the line related to the date display.
It may be the metadata ca_objects.dateSet.setDisplayValue or ca_objects.coverageDates
Copy the line and past it here to see what should be changed.
