Hi,

Which version of EPrints are you using?

We’re on 3.3.10, and have added (to: ~/archives/ARCHIVEID/cfg/cfg.d/eprint_search_advanced.pl) the following:

$c->{plugins}->{"Screen::Staff::EPrintSearch"}->{params}->{extra_fields} = [

                { meta_fields => [ "id_number" ] },

                { meta_fields => [ "documents.license" ] },

        ];

Which allows us to admin-search these additional fields.

I think that you just need to add ‘datestamp’ and ‘lastmod’ – not the individual parts thereof:

$c->{plugins}->{"Screen::Staff::EPrintSearch"}->{params}->{extra_fields} = [

                { meta_fields => [ "datestamp" ] },

                { meta_fields => [ "lastmod" ] },

        ];

This: http://wiki.eprints.org/w/API:EPrints/MetaField/Date#Searching might also be useful.

Cheers,

John

Hi,

Anyone tried to add fields in the search items page when logged in as admin?  We are trying to add datestamp_year, datestamp_month, datestamp_day… and same with lastmod and status_changed…..

I tried to edit EPrintSearch.pm and add the following fields but getting an error that they are not defined as datasets:

{ meta_fields => [ "eprint.datestamp_month" ] },

{ meta_fields => [ "eprint.datestamp_day" ] },

{ meta_fields => [ "eprint.datestamp_year" ] },

{ meta_fields => [ "eprint.lastmod_month" ] },

{ meta_fields => [ "eprint.lastmod_day" ] },

{ meta_fields => [ "eprint.lastmod_year" ] },

With this added search fields, users from our research office can be able to search items deposited per month or specified dates…

Thanks guys in advanced! J
