[EP-tech] Re: Multiple Compound Views

Hi Adam,

 

Field definition:

$c->add_dataset_field( 'eprint',

        { name => 'project_details',

          type => 'compound',

          multiple => 1,

          fields => [

                        {

                        'sub_name' => 'project_name',

                        'type' => 'text',

                        'input_cols' => 60,

                        'allow_null' => 1,

                        },

                        {

                        'sub_name' => 'project_id',

                        'type' => 'text',

                        'input_cols' => 20,

                        'allow_null' => 1,

                        },

                        {

                        'sub_name' => 'funder',

                        'type' => 'text',

                        'input_cols' => 30,

                        'allow_null' => 1,

                        }

                    ],

          input_boxes => 2,

                menus => [

                        {

                                group_sorting_function => "alpha_first",

                        }

                ],

Hi Alan

 

            Can you paste in your metadata field definition and your browse view configuration for that view?

Anybody done anything with creating a view from a multiple compound field? I’ve got a main view of project funder, with sub views of project ids, with lists of eprints related to the project id below that.

At the moment however, I get all the project ids for the eprint below each funder, rather than just the value for the funder  Example to better explain this below.

Any clues how to get the desired outcome?

 

e.g.  eprint xxx has a multi-value compound field

 

funder A: projectid 1

funder B: projectid 2

funder C: projectid 3

 

and my generated views are

 

funder A

                projectid 1

                                eprint xxx

                projectid 2

                                eprint xxx

                projectid 3

                                eprint xxx

funder B

                projectid 1

                                eprint xxx

                projectid 2

                                eprint xxx

                projectid 3

                                eprint xxx

etc…

when what I want is

funder A

                projectid 1

                                eprint xxx

funder B

                projectid 2

                                eprint xxx

funder C

                projectid 3

                                eprint xxx
