From what I remember (been away doing reading lists stuff for 24 hours = brain warped), this might help:

Hi,

Sorry, I forgot to mention, I have placed the pin into the xpage file, trying all sorts of variations, for how I thought it might work.  cu

In the dynamic_template.pl file I have amongst other code… (which I have hacked a bit to make it look more like the way 3.3.10 seems to want to do things??)

$c->add_trigger( EP_TRIGGER_DYNAMIC_TEMPLATE, sub {

      my %params = @_;

      my $repo = $params{repository};

      my $pins = $params{pins};

      my $phrasepin = $repo->xml->create_document_fragment;

      $phrasepin->appendChild( $repo->xml->create_text_node('abc123'));

      $pins->{todays_date} = $phrasepin;

      $pins->{d_o_t_day} = $phrasepin;

      print STDERR "DONE IN dynamic_template.pl\n";

      return EP_TRIGGER_OK;

} );

Directly placing the first pin into the xml file

<h1 class="ep_tm_pagetitle">

  <epc:pin ref="title"/>

</h1>

<epc:pin ref="todays_date"/>

<epc:pin ref="page"/>

Returns abc123 between the Title of the page, and the xpage contents…

I created a phrase to allow me to wrap the pin contents with text in a standard way, which currently contains some prefix text, and the pin,

<phrase id="d_o_t_d">Deposit of the Day =[<pin name="d_o_t_day"></pin>]</phrase> 

Within the xpage file I have placed 

<epc:phrase ref="d_o_t_d" />

Which displays on screen

Deposit of the Day =[[pin missing: d_o_t_day]]

Cheers

Matt.

Hi Matt,

The main index page is defined in  

.…/eprints3/archives/<ARCHIVEID>/cfg/lang/en/static/index.xpage

Try adding your pin there.  Not sure whether the pin logic needs to be in dynamic_template.pl or somewhere else for this page though – give it a try and see what happens.

Hi All,

I am trying to add some dynamic content onto the index page,

According to the doco, last updated 2012, (http://wiki.eprints.org/w/Branding_with_confidence#Pins) to add dynamic content into a template

Create the pin/logic in the dynamic_template.pl file

Then edit your xml file e.g. “archives/ARCHIVEID/cfg/lang/en/templates/default.xml”

So far, so good, This all works and I can drop dynamic content into the resulting page…via the xml… and it will render between the title and the xpage’s content…

<!-- MAIN CONTENT BOX -->

<div id="ep_tm_page_content_container">

  <div class="ep_tm_page_content">

    <h1 class="ep_tm_pagetitle">

      <epc:pin ref="title"/>

    </h1>

    <epc:pin ref="matts_dynamic_content"/>

    <epc:pin ref="page"/>

  </div>

</div>

<!-- END MAIN CONTENT BOX -->

BUT….

How do I get it to drop the dynamic content within the layout of the xpage…  I thought it would be simple, maybe, it’s just a Friday thing….

Any help would be appreciated.

Matt
