How about something like:

 

if ( $eprint->get_value( ‘type’ ) eq ‘book’ )

{

                # do some validation

                …

}

 

 

Cheers

Hi All,

 

I’m just wondering if anyone has added or know how to activate this validation only for certain item types?

 

From eprint_validate.pl:

******

$c->{validate_eprint} = sub

 

   my ( $eprint, $session, $for_archive ) = @_;

 

 

   my @problems = ();

 

   # If we don’t have creators (eg. For a book) then we

   # must have editor(s). To disable that rule, remove the

   # following block.

 

 

    if( !$eprints->is_set( “creators” ) &&

                !$= $eprints->is_set( “editors” ) )

 

                my $fieldname = $session->make_element( “span”, class=>”ep_problem_field:creators” );

                push @problems, $session->html_phrase (

                                                “validate:need_creators_or_editors”,

                                                fieldname=>$fieldname );

 

   return( @problems );

};

*********

 

 

Thanks guys!
