[EP-tech] {Disarmed} Re: Re: Adding fields to admin search

Hi,

We are also on 3.3.12. On our server, the search url is MailScanner has detected a possible fraud attempt from "..." claiming to be http://.../cgi/search/eprint/staff

Looking for one of the fieldnames appearing in the form ('eprint_status'), I found a file in lib (lib/cfg.d/eprint_search_staff.pl).
It was not in the cfg.d directory for our archive.
So I copied it from lib/cfg.d to archives/.../cfg/cfg.d.

I tried to add a few columns found in the eprint table and it seems to allow us to change the meta fields that appear in the search form.
Hope this would help you.

I also had related questions for the list :
  • I added "metadata_visibility" to the staff search form, but this field is not shown (the other ones I added (importid and num_pieces) do). Any idea why ?
  • Is there a place where I could find a list and a description of all meta fields ?

Thanks
Gilles

Hi John,

We¹re on 3.3.12 here - I¹ve tried what you suggested to no avail. To be
honest, I¹m not sure where you¹re getting the search config information
from; I¹m following you up til point 4 okay but I don¹t see anything in
that file to indicate what config to use :/

Hi,
Good question. One I didn¹t know the answer to until I had a quick look.

This is my thought process:
1. Log in to EPrints, go to the admin search page.
2. Look at the URL. It ends with screen=Staff%3A%3AEPrintSearch
3. Mentally convert the screen parameter above to a file to look at -
resulting in: ~/perl_lib/EPrints/Plugin/Screen/Staff/EPrintSearch.pm.
4. See what search config it uses [search->advanced->search_fields] AND
something a bit *magic* looking 'extra_fields' (sounds like exactly what
we need :o).
5. Grep rest of EPrints code to find other mentions of 'extra_fields'.
6. Be disappointed.
7. Look at: http://wiki.eprints.org/w/API:EPrints/Plugin#param
8. Think that adding:
$c->{plugins}->{"Screen::Staff::EPrintSearch"}->{params}->{extra_fields}
= ...SOMETHING...;
is the way forward, SOMETHING being some config similar to the existing
search config options.
9. Decide to leave the next step for you, with the hope you add the
recipe to the 'How To' section of the wiki:
http://wiki.eprints.org/w/Category:Howto
10. Lunch! Sunshine!
11. Actually, I'm interested. What should that SOMETHING be..?
12. Add this to a file in ~/archives/cfg/cfg.d/ (possibly the
eprint_search_advanced.pl, or plugins.pl, or some other file that you'll
be able to find it in again!):
########
#Additional field for internal staff search
########
$c->{plugins}->{"Screen::Staff::EPrintSearch"}->{params}->{extra_fields}
= [
               { meta_fields => [ "id_number" ] },
               { meta_fields => [ "documents.license" ] },
];

NB: This is based on 3.3.10.

Cheers,
John

Subject: [EP-tech] Adding fields to admin search

Hello!

I¹ve now been asked to add some fields to the admin search screen in
EPrints. I¹ve found a snippet here:
http://trac.eprints.org/eprints/ticket/3637 which suggests how different
fields can be added in, however the function in question is different in
the version of EPrints we are running. So, any thoughts on how we can do
this? The Trac page suggests that this was put forward to be added to a
future version of EPrints as an admin function, however I presume this
has yet to happen?
