[EP-tech] Re: Eprints 3.3.6 on CentOS 6.3 - Exports of Citations not working

Tim,

Thanks for pinpointing the solution.

The problem was solved by making the single line change in the perl_lib/EPrints/Plugin/Screen/Search.pm file as show in Changeset 7686 to my EPrints 3.3.6 instance.  I assume upgrading to EPrints 3.3.10 would have also solved the problem.

-Tom

Hi,

You've been bitten by a change in how the URI module works. If you notice all the '&'s have been turned into 'n's.

There was a fix for this in Search.pm:

All the best,
Tim.
