[EP-tech] Re: Local plugin

​I'm trying to make a small change to the UploadMethod.pm file from:

/perl_lib/EPrints/Plugin/Screen/EPrint


I've copied it to:

/usr/share/eprints/archives/[name]/cfg/plugins/EPrints/Plugin/Screen/EPrint

and renamed it to UBUploadMethod.pm

I'm (at first) just adding a little logging script:
open(LIZZLOG, ">>/usr/share/eprints/archives/[name]/lizz.log") || die "Cannot open file: $!";
print LIZZLOG "UBUploadMethod filename: $filename \n";
close(LIZZLOG);

I've used this in numerous places to work out what's in a particular variable, and when I tried it in the perl_lib it did exactly what I needed, but obviously once I've worked out what's where, I'll want to be able to change it so I need the local file to actually register.

I've renamed the package to:
EPrints::Plugin::Screen::EPrint::UBUploadMethod

and I've added the alias to the plugins.pl cfg file:

$c->{plugin_alias_map}->{"Screen::EPrint::UploadMethod"} = "Screen::EPrint::UBUploadMethod";
$c->{plugin_alias_map}->{"Screen::EPrint::UBUploadMethod"} = undef;

Hi

Could you post a little more detail, please.  What code are you putting in which files in which directories?

Hi,

I'm trying to get a local version of a perl_lib file to change some behaviour - I can't seem to get it to register - I'm only trying to write to a log file at the moment to see what it's doing, and I temporarily put it in the perl_lib file where it works, but obviously I want to be able to make local changes.

I've given it a local package name and added it to the config and restarted apache and it resolutely refuses to recognise it.  What am I missing?
