[EP-tech] Re: specific Views for particular types

Hello,

Hi,

I'd like to have a bunch of special views for the eprint type "thesis
abstract". E.g., for the view of thesis abstract creators, I would
prefer a menu level listing their name initials A to Z with each linking
to a sub-menu list solely the respective names or their documents, we
will see. Is that possible? That would be nice, as it takes very long to
generate and send pages with 7000+ authors.

So I thought, for the type restriction, in views configuration a filter
setting is applicable, just like it is in numorous other places. This is
not documented in the wiki, so I am asking you.
This is present in some versions of EPrints (there was a regression at some point in 3.2, I don't recall which versions exactly).
Just try on your setup, it might just work, eg add in your view definition (adapt to your needs...): 

filters => [
        { meta_fields => [ "type" ], value => "thesis", describe => 0 }
],



For the first-letter submenu (not section), there is no option?

Isn't this a "variation"?

variations => [
    "creators_name;first_letter",
#etc..
]
