Override recently added list in home page

Question

I wonder if it\'s possible to override the Recently Added list in the home page. The default behavior is that any new submitted items are displayed in the list

Answer 1

The DSpace config file for recent items (discovery.xml) will allow you to set the metadata field that is used to pull recent items. You can alter that field from collection to collection. You can set the maximum number of items to pull, but you cannot set other filter criteria.

You will need to set that criteria in your XSLT using logic like the following.
