That all looks sane to me…

If you do a:

~/bin/epadmin test

does it return any errors (if you have multiple archives, you can add the ARCHIVEID at the end of that command to test just that one)?

And I’m guessing you’ve restarted Apache (or done a ~/bin/epadmin reload ARCHIVEID)?

Cheers,

John

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;

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?
