Thanks John! You are a life saver!  This functionality will be very useful for us....

This code worked:
$c->{plugins}->{"Screen::Staff::EPrintSearch"}->{params}->{extra_fields} = [
                { meta_fields => [ "datestamp" ] },
                { meta_fields => [ "lastmod" ] },
        ];


Best regards,
Ellis

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

Subject: [EP-tech] How to add search fields in admin's search items

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! ?
