Add thumbnail to Search list view

Open alawvt opened this issue 3 years ago • 4 comments

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. In DSpace 7, thumbnails appear in Search Grid view but not List view. DSpace7_Search_grid DSpace7_Search_list

Describe the solution you'd like Please add the thumbnail to List view. This will create a view comparable to that in DSpace 6 XMLUI.

We like the current XMLUI search and browse lists because they combine thumbnail, title, author, year, search snippet or abstract snippet in a list that is easy to scroll through. We use then all the time to check and administer the repository, for example, using the thumbnail to confirm there is a file and that the thumbnail is correct, checking complete title, author, date, and indexing. It seems with the current DSpace 7 Search List and Grid Views, you can’t get all that in one view. DSpace6_XMLUI_Search_thumbnails WorldCat.org is also a good model WorldCat_search

Describe alternatives or workarounds you've considered A clear and concise description of any alternative solutions or features you've considered.

Additional context Add any other context or screenshots about the feature request here.

The icon for list view suggests a thumbnail. DSpace7_Search_view_icons

This appears to be implemented in a branch new PR (not yet reviewed or merged) from @mspalti :#1780 So, I'll link this ticket up to that PR & assign it to @mspalti . Hopefully this will be in 7.4
