[EP-tech] Re: editing default pins

I was close to figuring it out before.
Once you've followed the stuff below, and made a new template to use (e.g. ~/archived/ARCHIVEID/cfg/templates/login.xml) try:

sub render
{
        my( $self ) = @_;

        my $processor = $self->{processor};
        my $repo = $self->{repository};
        my $xml = $repo->xml;
        my $r = $repo->get_request;

#Add this:
        $processor->{template} = "login"; #the template name (without the .xml)
...

Might have to document that in the wiki - if it's the *best* way of achieving this (anyone got other ideas how to do this)?
For future development, it might be nice to be able to do:
$c->{plugins}->{"Screen::Login"}->{template} = "login";
(if you can't already!)

Cheers,
John

Look at ~/perl_lib/EPrints/Plugin/Screen/Login.pm

If what you want to change is contained solely within the phrases it uses, copy those phrases from ~/lib/lang/en/phrases/system.xml (or wherever they may be) to ~/archives/ARCHIVEID/cfg/lang/en/phrases/system_overrides.xml (or any sensible XML file in there).

If you need to change things  bit more radically:
Copy ~/perl_lib/EPrints/Plugin/Screen/Login.pm to ~/archives/ARCHIVEID/cfg/plugins/EPrints/Plugin/Screen/... Use a filename like ArchiveIDLogin.pm

Change the package name in that file to reflect the new name you've just given it.

In ~/archives/ARCHIVEID/cfg/cfg.d/plugins.pl (or some other file in that directory), define:

$c->{plugin_alias_map}->{"Screen::Login"} = "Screen::AcrchiveIDLogin"; #or whatever you've called your new copy
$c->{plugin_alias_map}->{"Screen::Login"} = undef;

Once you get this working OK (maybe add an extra class to something that's being rendered so you can check that the copy is being used to generate the login page), start hacking your ArchiveIDLogin.pm to do what you want it to.

I thought there was some easy way to set a template for this, but currently I haven't been able to work out how :o\
I was expecting to do something like:
$self->{template} = 'login';
 - but this doesn't seem to work.

Maybe someone else can offer guidance on how to achieve this?

Cheers,
John

Subject: [EP-tech]  editing default pins

I'd like to edit the output of the default login form, I presume the
output is generated from the epc:pin "page"?
I don't know if I should be editing that or if I could apply a template to
only apply to the login?

Any thoughts?

Thanks
Derek
