[EP-tech] Re: plugin_alias_map restrictions?

OK right I think I had read your post a bit too quickly Andrew, sorry!
Not sure which version of EPrints you're using - on 3.3.12, Screen::EPrint::render_title is driven mostly by: 


my $title = $self->{processor}->{eprint}->render_citation( "screen" );
So why don't you just over-ride the "screen" citation and add the item type there?

Hi Seb,

So, in an attempt to understand the workings of this, trying to replace the render_title in the Screen::EPrint  object by defining a local 'Screen::LocalEprint' package containing a render_title method doesn't work, because the Edit screen is essentially already defined as a child of the original EPrint definition before the alias mapping takes effect?  So you need to replace/create the method in the specific class that is being instantiated?  (I've probably just mashed up some OO terminology quite badly there!)

Should look something like:

e.g. in archives/<id>/cfg/plugins/EPrints/Plugin/Screen/EPrint/LocalEdit.pm

#code-start
package EPrints::Plugin::Screen::EPrint::LocalEdit;

@ISA = ( 'EPrints::Plugin::Screen::EPrint::Edit' );

use strict;

sub render_title
{
      # whatever you need to do
}

1;
#code-end


in the conf (e.g. archives/<id>/cfg/cfg.d/plugins.pl):

$c->{plugin_alias_map}->{"Screen::EPrint::Edit"} = "Screen::EPrint::LocalEdit"; $c->{plugin_alias_map}->{"Screen::EPrint::LocalEdit"} = undef;


Then when EPrints calls Screen::EPrint::Edit, it will call your
LocalEdit plug-in instead, in a transparent manner.

Seb.

Hello! I’ve been working with archive localised plugins but have come up against one that’s giving me grief. I’m trying to extend Screen::EPrint with the intent of overriding the render_title function, adding the Eprint type to the output.

I’ve gone through the motions of creating a new child plugin with all the correct dependencies, adding the alias map line into plugins.pl, however EPrints does not seem to be inheriting this plugin at all. Are there limitations on what can be changed this way?
