Feature Request/Idea: Native API access to upload collection logos and Theme specifications

[Asbjoedt]

Overview of the Feature Request

Currently, it is possible to customize collection (Dataverse) logo images through the UI under "Theme + Widgets".
We want this option to also be possible through Native API so we can automate customization using Ansible.
Also, new SPA UI should retain option to customize collection (Dataverse) logo images.

What kind of user is the feature intended for?

Sysadmin

What inspired the request?

Ansible automation of installation process.

What existing behavior do you want changed?

Native API. No way to upload collection logos.

Any open or closed issues related to this feature request?

Thanks. As I said, the new frontend will need this functionality, eventually.

For whoever picks this up, there's some commented code called setDataverseLogo at https://github.com/IQSS/dataverse/blob/v6.1/src/main/java/edu/harvard/iq/dataverse/api/Dataverses.java#L1098 you might want to use as a starting point. In 2017 I added it in 49c6ec5 (includes some tests) but later commented it out in a1eec7d. That said, I won't be offended if you start fresh! 😄

Should the scope be expanded to include all of the settings available on the Theme + Widgets page of edit Dataverse including "TagLine", "WebSite", colors, etc.?

[Asbjoedt]

That would be great! The settings could be sent through one JSON file.

@cmbz and I just discussed this issue. Our understanding is that @DS-INRA will have one of his developers work on this at some point so we're removing this from our board. Thanks, Dimitri! Please just let us know if anything changes.
