- Just seen Gilles reply - read that first - it's more concise! I'd already typed most of this - sending it for reference! I'm glad I put that '3.3.10' caveat in my reply :o) It works wonderfully for that version. For 3.3.12, I'm basing this on the GitHub repo. 1. Same screen: https://github.com/eprints/eprints/blob/3.3/perl_lib/EPrints/Plugin/Screen/Staff/EPrintSearch.pm 2. Entirely different to 3.3.10. 3. Looks like it redirects the search to .../cgi/search/eprint/staff 4. Look at cgi/search https://github.com/eprints/eprints/blob/3.3/cgi/search 5. This splits the incoming part to make 'eprint' the $datasetid, and 'staff' to be the $searchid. 6. The searching is then done by https://github.com/eprints/eprints/blob/3.3/perl_lib/EPrints/Plugin/Screen/Search.pm 7. Which in turn calls 'search_config' from the dataset: https://github.com/eprints/eprints/blob/3.3/perl_lib/EPrints/DataSet.pm 8. Eventually ending up at this line: $repo->config( "search", $searchid ); 9. And searching the code/GitHub: https://github.com/eprints/eprints/blob/3.3/lib/cfg.d/eprint_search_staff.pl - make note of the comments at the top! 10. Someone write it all up for the Wiki :o) Cheers, John -----Original Message----- From: eprints-tech-bounces@ecs.soton.ac.uk [mailto:eprints-tech-bounces@ecs.soton.ac.uk] On Behalf Of Andrew Beeken Sent: 21 May 2014 12:40 To: eprints-tech@ecs.soton.ac.uk Subject: [EP-tech] Re: Adding fields to admin search 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 :/ On 21/05/2014 11:56, "John Salter" <J.Salter@leeds.ac.uk> wrote: >Hi, >Good question.
