I'm converting a 4.6 site to 4.7 and am having problems with the Creative Commons module. In particular the Jurisdiction and Source-work-URL fields:

Jurisdiction

  • Jurisdiction is a required field for the Creative Commons license. The form cannot be submitted without some value here.
  • 'United States' does not appear in the drop-down menu (most of our users are in the U.S.).
  • Choosing 'Generic' prevents the form from validating, because the 'Generic' option is empty.

Source-work-URL

  • This field is also required. The form cannot be submitted without some value here.
  • The original work that users are submitting has (with very few exceptions) no source URL on the web.

FYI, I started with the 4.6 version of the module, and applied the patch that's supposed to make it work with 4.7.

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

Has anybody else seen this behavior?

I am reviewing this module once again, with high hopes.

I have just upgrade my site to 3.0 By SA and was wondering about the status of the Jurisdiction issue as well as other required components. This was with custom code and not the module.

(1) What is the list of required elements for 2.5 and 3.0? Specifically, is Jurisdiction a required element or an optional element?

http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/

Note that this is 'unported'.

Do you have a list of required elements?

(2) Here is the RDF that I produce that has some, but perhaps not all, of these elements.

This currently validates to the Firefox Creative Commons plugin.

Anything missing? Again, is Jurisdiction required?

Thanks,
James
