[EP-tech] Re: Editing abstract page

Hi,

I think what you might want to do is have your default template used for the system-generated (i.e. abstract, view) pages and then use a different template for the static pages.

Take a look at: http://wiki.eprints.org/w/Template_Format,

Adding an <xpage:template> elemet might help.

 

You can also specify a template specific to a view – see http://wiki.eprints.org/w/Views.pl

 

Having said that, you may well be able to do something in the ~/archives/ARCHIVEID/cfg/cfg.d/eprint_render.pl file - $session->get_repository->…something, but I’m not quite sure what (search for template in  ~/perl_lib/EPrints/Repository.pm).

 

For the thumbnails, more recent versions of EPrints should allow this.

 

HTH,

John

I'm presuming I have to edit the "pin" output (<epc:pin ref="page"/>) to be able to customize the output of an abstract (or any dynamic page), but I don't know if this is a good idea? 

Should I avoid editing the pins?

 

Thanks

Derek

Hi

Still trying to get my head around the structure of ePrints.

If I want to edit the template for only abstract pages, how would I go about that?

Can I just create an "abstract" page (xpage?) in my template?

It is currently using my template on all pages, which is cool, just would like to lay things out slightly differently on a couple of pages.

I understand the static pages and editing their page content, but would be more interested in uniquely styling the abstract currently.

Also is it possible to pull thumbnails into the abstract without a plugin like Kultur?

 

Many thanks

Derek
