[EP-tech] Re: Adding a custom field in abstract (I think :))

Hi George,
Try following this training video http://wiki.eprints.org/w/Training_Video:Add_A_Field - around 9 minutes in Adam goes through adding the field to the abstract page (http://yourrepodomain/[0-9]+) .  That should help with your main requirement.

Subject: [EP-tech] Adding a custom field in abstract (I think :))

Hi all,

I've added a custom field in my repository (collections - and, yes, in my context I preferred it over the shelves plugin). I've added this field in my custom advanced search form, and now, I want this field to be shown in the details of an eprint, once the eprint is selected after the search is performed (the items with the url pattern:
http://yourrepodomain/[0-9]+).

I would also like to know how I could add it as a column in the search results as well, but this is more optional.

In case I had to customise the abstract to achieve my goal (because this is where I thought that this view was generated), I tried reading cfg.d/eprint_render.pl, but couldn't understand what to do, and the wiki
(http://wiki.eprints.org/w/HOW_TO:_Add_a_New_Field) was far outdated, at least compared to my version (3.3.14). I also tried the ./cfg/citations/eprint/summary_page.xml (which was proposed by eprint_render.pl's comments), but I didn't seem to find where to start from there either.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks all in advance,

George.

PS. There, there Adam, maybe that's another idea for a video? :):):-P.
