Missing fields after intall of Demonstration_System_config.xml

isla_f

Hi,

Newbie here.

I've exported the Demonstration_System_config.xml profile from the demo site, because I thought that would be a good place to start exploring CollectiveAccess, but having installed it, I'm running into glitches.

I'm missing multiple input fields in create forms. For example, when I try to create a new collection, the only fields present in the Identity Elements tab are Repository, Date, Extent, and Administrative/Biographical History Element. I'm missing Location in hierarchy, Collection Identifier, Title, Creators, and Access.

Any idea what the gremlin might be?

I guess the Export Configuration feature is broken, because the exported profile seems to be mangled. The old GSUSA profile from which the demo profile seems to have been developed is still working, minus a couple of broken relationships, so I could work from there, but it would really help if the configuration exporter could be fixed, or the demo profile placed in git, or somewhere, as it includes wheels I'd have to reinvent.

I am not aware of any problems with the exporter. We use it often.
The demo system is very very old, so perhaps there are issues with exporting that particular system. I will take a look.

Please try exporting from the demo again. It should export fully this time around.

Bingo! That's the full Monty (743kb vs 591 kb). Whatever you did worked. Thank you so much. A few tweaks and I can demo this to colleagues. Brilliant!
