[EP-tech] Re: Bazaar-Plugins vs. New EPrint Versions

Hi all,

Maybe even easier would be to add a min_version and a max_version variables in the plugin definition. Like in PHP CMS. So we can define:
$self->{min_version} = “>= 3.3.10”;
$self->{max_version} = “< 3.3.12”;

so we are sure that we always install the good version of a plugin. 

We could even go further and add a dependencies like:
$self->{dependency} = “icon-builder>1.1.4”;

etc

What do you think?

Hi out there,

in mind, that dependencies like http://bazaar.eprints.org/226/ vs. EP3.3.13 could never be testet by one development-crew only, i would like to suggest a crowd-testing-report-tool in bazaar. This would be cool!
Probably you know Wordpress-Plugins and it's Compatibility-Check (watch out https://wordpress.org/plugins/nextgen-gallery/): each core version could be testet against each plugin. The base is a simple voting-tool, feeded by admins/useres, that report their experience and it's a very helpful thing for other admins to decide, weather it's the right time to update or not. As we use 4 EP-Plugins, it would take a long time to make a full check of all functionality on our test-systems.
What do you think?

Cheers

It’s the ‘Collection’ one that is causing the issue.
 
It looks like that file is from: http://bazaar.eprints.org/226/
This overwrites the ‘render’ method for the EPrint – which is why it’s broken now.
 
Do you use the collections stuff on your live server?
If so, an update to the collections code is required.
I don’t think the change will be massive – just using the newer way of working out new/old versions.
 
 
 
Adam,
What are your thoughts on this – one of Patricks extensions in the Bazaar.
Not sure if it exists in any Git repo. Needs an update to work with 3.3.13.
How should *we* go about managing this type of thing?
 
Cheers,
John

Thanks John

I found 3 files:
/usr/share/eprints3/lib/lang/en/phrases/system.xml i found in these lines
<epp:phrase id="eprint_relation_typename_http://purl.org/dc/terms/isReplacedBy">Is Replaced By</epp:phrase>
<epp:phrase id="document_relation_typename_http://purl.org/dc/terms/isReplacedBy">Is Replaced By</epp:phrase>
<epp:phrase id="eprint_fieldname_replacedby">Replaced by</epp:phrase>

Same lines in Greek:
/usr/share/eprints3/lib/lang/el/phrases/system.xml

And in
/usr/share/eprints3/lib/plugins/EPrints/Plugin/Collection.pm in line   115:     $self->get_value( "replacedby" ) );

How much do you know about running a server? Does the word ‘grep’ mean anything to you?
If so, from the eprints directory, try the following ***type these commands out – the quotes in this email may end up ‘special’***:
grep –r ‘replacedby’ perl_lib lib
(this will search all files in perl_lib and lib for ‘replacedby’).
 
grep –r ‘replacedby’ archives/ARCHIVEID/cfg/
(this will search all your archive configuration files for ‘replacedby’)
 
Somewhere in one of these locations, there’s probably a reference to ‘replacedby’ – let us know what you find!
 
If ‘grep’ means nothing to you, we’ll have to start at a more basic level!
Cheers,
John

My version is 3.3.13 uprated from the eprint repositories (ubutnu server 12.04) from 3.3.12. I can see the corrupted retired items in a grey table, I can edit them, but when I try to press save and exit gives me the same error: "EPrints System Error Attempt to get value from not existent field: eprint/replacedby". The same happens if I try to view them. I really don't know where to search and what to fix ...

The strange thing that I have an identical repository for testing purposes and retiring works just fine there. I don't know where that problem came from.

Hi,
The way EPrints deals with later/earlier versions was changed at some point, and I think the ‘replacedby’ field became redundant.
I’d check all your ~/archives/ARCHIVEID/cfg/cfg.d/* and ~/archives/ARCHIVEID/cfg/citations/* files for referenced to ‘replacedby’.
 
If you need a hand working out what to correct, let us know. If you look at the new default config in ~/lib/defaultcfg/ you might be able to work out what changes might be needed too.
 
Cheers,
John

I've just checked
Retiring an item give me an "EPrints System Error Attempt to get value from not existent field: eprint/replacedby"
I am in big trouble :(
A corrupted database perhaps?
What should I do?

I have just checked all retired items (Item Status matches any of "Retired"). Pressing in any of the gives me a:
EPrints System Error
Attempt to get value from not existent field: eprint/replacedby
Any Ideas what could it be the problem?
