Marcos Anjos (Nov 08 2023 at 16:19): Marcos Anjos (Nov 08 2023 at 16:19):Hello, community. I would like to configure a development environment (local) to perform some layout customizations in Dataverse. Do you have any tutorials on how to configure development tools (example: netbeans, database)? I'm using a Windows operating system, is it compatible or is it recommended to use Linux?
Philip Durbin 🚀 (Nov 08 2023 at 16:25):@Juan Pablo Tosca Villanueva is on Windows and might be able to offer some advice. Just this morning he was saying that there's a step missing in our guides.
Philip Durbin 🚀 (Nov 08 2023 at 16:27):Assuming you want to start from the latest in the develop branch, I'd recommend looking at the "preview" of our guides. You'd go to https://guides.dataverse.org and then click "Dataverse Software Documentation Versions" to find your way to http://preview.guides.gdcc.io/en/develop/developers/index.html
Philip Durbin 🚀 (Nov 08 2023 at 16:28):I would recommend the quickstart: http://preview.guides.gdcc.io/en/develop/developers/dev-environment.html#quickstart
Philip Durbin 🚀 (Nov 08 2023 at 16:29):And worry about Netbeans vs other IDEs later :grinning:

Hello @Philip Durbin , I have already configured this tutorial on my machine,
http://preview.guides.gdcc.io/en/develop/developers/dev-environment.html#quickstart
I wonder how I can configure the project in a development IDE
Philip Durbin 🚀 (Nov 08 2023 at 16:58):Oh! You can log in as dataverseAdmin?

Yes, I'm root
Philip Durbin 🚀 (Nov 08 2023 at 17:05):Fantastic!
Philip Durbin 🚀 (Nov 08 2023 at 17:05):Sorry, in a call. brb

Fantastic!
I would like to make a customization before the main one where the results appear. Something customized like these main pages:
https://dataverse.harvard.edu/
https://lattesdata.cnpq.br/
Philip Durbin 🚀 (Nov 08 2023 at 18:26):Here, please try this (or the equivalent from Windows):
$ cd docker-dev-volumes/app/data
$ mkdir branding
$ cd branding
$ curl -O https://guides.dataverse.org/en/6.0/_downloads/0f28d7fe1a9937d9ef47ae3f8b51403e/custom-homepage.html
$ curl -X PUT -d '/dv/branding/custom-homepage.html' http://localhost:8080/api/admin/settings/:HomePageCustomizationFile
I'm following https://guides.dataverse.org/en/6.0/installation/config.html#custom-homepage
This what I see:

Juan Pablo Tosca Villanueva (Nov 08 2023 at 18:55):Hi @Marcos Anjos I see that your environment is working so that is great! Just a quick question, did you configure your host files at some point? I was telling @Philip Durbin earlier that there may be a step missing from our documentation that would prevent the access of dataverse:8080
Matt Mangan (Dec 02 2023 at 14:43):@Philip Durbin Should we enable something like this as the default in the SPA? Pretty low effort to throw up a landing page that could be customized
Philip Durbin 🚀 (Dec 04 2023 at 13:53):@Matt Mangan maybe? At some point the SPA will need to have the custom homepage feature that JSF has. However, I'm not aware of it being in the roadmap for the beta, let alone having an issue.
Philip Durbin 🚀 (Dec 04 2023 at 13:54):You could certainly bring it up at the next frontend meeting.
Matt Mangan (Dec 04 2023 at 15:59):It's probably out of scope, I'll add it to my wishlist in the interest of meeting our deadlines
