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

Hi Andrew,
The fieldnames you need to use are the ones in the ~/archives/ARCHIVEID/cfg.d/eprint_fields.pl.
These should also be present in the 'eprint' table (if the field is not repeatable), or a table named 'eprint_[fieldname]' (multiple fields).

If you can’t find what you need in your config, there are some fields in the default EPrints data object: ~/perl_lib/EPrints/DataObj/EPrint.pm - but these are 'internal' fields and may do special things...

Cheers,
John

Thanks both for your help on this; a couple of the fields we’re looking to add are custom ones which are in the sprint__ordervalues_en database. I can refer to publisher directly in Gilles’ solution however when I try to include these two fields I’m told that they’re not valid metadata; do I need to refer to them in a specific way?

Hi John,

You were right.

If I modify this file, changing :

    if( $dataset->base_id eq "eprint" )

into

    if( $dataset->base_id eq "eprint" && $searchid ne 'staff' )

the field is shown in the search form...

Thanks !
Gilles

HI Gilles,
For your first question, it looks like ‘metadata_visibility’ might already be set when the search is set up:
https://github.com/eprints/eprints/blob/3.3/cgi/search#L96-L100
I’m not sure if EPrints will then ignore this field, as it’s already used?

Not sure about your second question.

Cheers,
John

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 .../cgi/search/eprint/staff<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?
