[EP-tech] Re: DataObj->render_citation options

Thanks Adam, kind of useful – I was trying to figure out if it was possible to pass a ‘nolink’ flag from a call to DataObj->render_citation($style, %opts)  that will get picked up by Metafield->render_value($session, $value, $alllangs, $nolink, $object) but I keep getting lost in the twisty rabbit warren between the functions!

The actual rendering happens here:

 

 

But is is a confusing, twisty route.  A call to render_citation should look like this:

 

$eprint->render_citation('citation_name', %params);

 

...where params is a hash that looks like this:

 

(

                thing1 => DOM_OBJECT,

                thing2 => DOM_OBJECT,

                flags => {

                                flag1 => 1,

                                flag2 => 0,

                                flag3 => 1,

                },

)

 

Params are things that are passed through that may be used in the citation.  Generally speaking, these are dom objects to be put into the citation or flags to base conditionals upon.

 

Does that help?

Can anyone point me to a wiki page or a .pm file that defines what the possible values for %opts are for DataObj->render_citation() ?

 

I’m having a complete failure to figure out what they are or what the chain of functions is that finally leads to the Metafield->render_value function

Thanks!
