The 2 things do seem quite separate concepts – you may well want 50-100 items in an RSS feed, but only 10 or so in your latest items (depending on frequency of deposit!)

A separate value seems sensible to me.

Excellent :o)

What are people’s thoughts on reusing the latest_tools setting for the export?

To me this seems a bit clunky – altering this value now means people using the feeds will get 100 results too…

Would having an ‘export_items_max’ config value be more sensible?

Hi John,

Thank you for the quick and efficient answer.

I confirm that adding the following to latest_tool.pl worked:

$c->{latest_tool_modes} = {

                default => { citation => "result", max => 100 }

};

Best wishes,

Tomasz

Hi,

A bit of code inspection leads me to this…

https://github.com/eprints/eprints/blob/3.3/perl_lib/EPrints/Plugin/Screen/Search.pm#L516-L536

- which refers to

# borrow the max from latest_tool (which we're replicating anyway)

my $limit = $self->{session}->config(

  "latest_tool_modes", "default", "max"

);

- the latest_tool_modes is defined in ~/archives/ARCHIVEID/cfg/cfg.d/latest_tool.pl (copied from https://github.com/eprints/eprints/blob/3.3/lib/defaultcfg/cfg.d/latest_tool.pl), but currently it doesn’t contain a max value – so the fallback value of 20 in Screen::Search is used.

Does this look like it’s the right thing?

Adding a max to latest_tool.pl might work e.g.:

$c->{latest_tool_modes} = {

                default => { citation => "result", max => 100 }

};

If that does work, let me know and I’ll add some documentation in latest_tool.pl.

Cheers,

John

Does anyone know how to set the maximum number of items that are shown in the RSS export in EPrints?

I searched and found this thread from 2009 with the $self->{number_to_show} parameter described, but that doesn’t seem to be working for me.

Thanks!

Tomasz
