Sounds like my theories in my last email were correct :o)

I've had some sort of breakthrough with the latest_tool output.

I've been using it as suggested by Seb with the AJAX.updater, but when I
go to a page and using the latest_tool directly
(myrepo.com/cgi/latest_tool?n=20) I get the expected output from the
result.xml file.

So where does the ajaxed version of the output get it's formatting?

Thanks
Derek

But that's what I'm saying John, I have this:

$c->{latest_tool_modes} = {
default => { citation => "result" }
};


In ~archives/ARHIVEID/cfg/cfg.d/latest_tool.pl

So as you say it should be using result.xml, it isn't.

I would chase the HTML comments but I'm injecting it into the page with
AJAX currently, which doesn't show in the View Source (I know it'll show
the HTML in the "Inspect Element" debugger, but that cleans out comments)

I'm now wondering if it's because, as you stated, 'latest_tool_citation'
isn't actually defined?

Thanks
Derek

I should be using ~/archives/<id>/cfg/citations/eprint/default.xml I think.

The citations are read in from:
~/archives/ARCHIVEID/cfg/citations/…
and if it doesn’t exist in there,
~/lib/citations/…

Looking at the code for ~/cfg/latest_tool, it checks for

my $citation = $session->config( "latest_tool_citation" );
- but ‘latest_tool_citation’ isn’t actually defined anywhere in the
defaultcfg (commented out or not), which I guess (haven’t traced it
through the code) means
it will use ‘default’.


If you wanted *all* latest_tool citations (except modes where it’s
explicitly defined) to use e.g. result.xml, you could define

$c-{ latest_tool_citation} = ‘result’;
somewhere in a cfg.d/ file (latest_tool.pl perhaps).

Does that get you further down the line?
If you look at the source of the html output from latest_tool, you should
be able to see the comments that are included inside the <cite:citation>
node. On
a dev server you might want to add e.g. <!-- from:
citations/eprint/result.xml --> to help you work out what comes from where.

Cheers,
John

Hi Seb,

That makes sense but my current page isn't outputting the "default"
citation (lib/citations/eprint/result.xml) because that file does not
exist. I do have a result.xml
in archives/<id>/cfg/citations/eprint/result.xml but it can't be using
that one either as it iterates out as tables cells and my page is div and
span based.
So id my page isn't using either of those citations, what is it using
(the mode in latest_tool.pl is exactly as you said)?



Again I'm not sure if I'm making sense?



Thanks

Derek

Hello,

>From lib/defaultcfg/cfg.d/latest_tool.pl:

$c->{latest_tool_modes} = {
default => { citation => "result" }
};

# Example of a latest_tool mode. This makes a mode=articles option
# which only lists eprints who's type equals "article".
#
# articles => {
# citation => undef,
# filters => [
# { meta_fields => [ "type" ], value => "article" }
# ],
# max => 20
# }


You can see the "default" mode uses the "result" citation (i.e.
lib/citations/eprint/result.xml).

(but don't change this file directly, change your local copy in
archives/<id>/cfg/cfg.d/latest_tool.pl instead).

I can create a new citation easily enough, but again not really sure how

Not really sure what citation it's getting by default currently!
(assuming that it is)

I’d look at the latest_tool.pl, making a new mode, and using a new
citation style.
http://wiki.eprints.org/w/Citation_Format
Have a poke about in ~/archives/ARCHIVEID/cfg/citations/ (both eprint and
document).

Let us know how you get on!

Hi,
Seb and John helped me enormously yesterday with getting the latest
additions onto the page, but no I'd like to customise the output of those
additions, giving more importance (slightly different styling) to one or
more items to distinguish them.
I see in latest_tool where it loops through the items, is it ok for me to
alter that? It's not going to break something on another page?
I'm also presuming that I can pull other content about the abstract into
this as well, I was thinking of using thumbnails on the homepage along
with the title text.

Does any of that make sense?

Thanks
Derek

Hi Derek,

No need for SSI (but feel free to use that trick), a simple Ajax request
will do:

<script type="text/_javascript_">
new Ajax.Updater( 'fplatest', '/cgi/latest_tool', { parameters: {
"mode":"fplatest", "mainonly":"yes" } } );
</script>

This would insert the latest additions to the element whose ID is
"fplatest" (the 1st param of Ajax.Updater).

Just adapt the code above just note the use of "mainonly = yes" to ask the
cgi to return only the page fragment/content rather than the entire html
document.

Seb.

Is it possible to then use that on the index/homepage?
I've read another entry on here with someone using php SSi's to do that,

Bad form replying to myself (twice in a row too ­ sorry!).

For completeness,
http://your.repository/cgi/latest_tool?n=5 will show the 5 latest.





You can also configure some other defaults in
~/archives/ARCHIVEID/cfg/cfg.d/latest_tool.pl which are then called like
http://your.repository/cgi/latest_tool?mode=articles&n=5
(for the commented example in latest_tool.pl).

Try
http://your.repository/cgi/latest_tool - which displays the most recent 20




items by default (I think).
It¹s in here: ~/cgi/latest_tool
If you¹re running multiple repositories on one server, you can copy it to
~/archives/ARCHIVEID/cgi/ to create a repository-specific version of it.

Hi,
Is it possible (I presume it is, just don't know how) to change the
"Latest Additions" to "Last Additions", I can't quite often go weeks
without anything being added and would prefer something was shown on the
page rather than leaving it empty.

Thanks
