[EP-tech] Re: Editable box

I discovered this behaviour a few months ago - but haven't looked into what is needed to resolve it:
https://github.com/eprints/eprints/issues/205
 - but you're right - it should work as you think it should!

I've just added a comment to the issue above - if anyone's interested in learning a bit more EPrints-fu, this is how the pages are flagged to be regenerated:
~/perl_lib/Apache/Rewrite.pm handles the incoming requests;
>From the above, when a static page is being served, this:
~/perl_lib/EPrints/Update/Static.pm, sub update_static_file 
is called. This checks mtime for the xpage and the generated html page, and regenerates as necessary.
It doesn't take into consideration changes in the phrase files.

~/perl_lib/EPrints/Language.pm is where the phrases get loaded.

At this point in time, I haven't worked out how best to add a phrase_mtime to the regeneration equation!

Cheers,
John

Okay, that worked - I take it I shouldn’t be running that every time I
want to make a change this way? The point of this is that system admins
can make these changes themselves.
