Re: [EP-tech] Getting Archive Name as a configuration value

Thanks all, it looks like just using the phrases is the best way forward – it seems like trying to define things in the configuration is more hassle than it’s worth!

Hi Lizz,

I think the magic you need is to change the phrase to a string – using EPrints::Utils::tree_to_utf8( $phrase );

 

Does that help at all?

 

Cheers,

John

You should use phrases for this.  Then you can just include phrases in phrases.

Subject: Re: [EP-tech] Getting Archive Name as a configuration value

 

Just trying to set some sensible defaults as configurable values, so when an email is sent, someone doesn’t have to change the functional bit of the script to change the From Name and so on:

 

I’d like to be able to set something like this:

$c->{email_editors_from_name} = $repo->phrase( “archive_name” );

 

Rather than:

 

$c->{email_editors_from_name} = "University of Bath Research Data Archive";

 

I can do this for email addresses:

 

$c->{email_editors_from_email}  = $c->{adminemail};

 

Because there’s already a config value for that.

It is wrong.  Sorry, it was the end of a long day, and I was spouting nonsense.

 

archive_name is a phrase.  The internal repository id (I.e. the directory name under <root>/archives) is got by doing $repository->id.

 

What are you actually trying to do.

Thanks both!  I can get it as a phrase – I was just trying to use that as a value in a configuration setting where you might choose to use something other than the archive name.  e.g.

 

$c->{new_thing} = $c->{archive_name};

 

But not having the $repo object there I’ve struggled to get the phrase into something like $c->{archive_name}

 

I couldn’t see a way of getting something like:

 

$c->{new_thing} = $repo->phrase( “archive_name” );

 

It seems slightly wrong to just create a configuration value to get something that’s already in the system as a phrase (in case it changes).

If you have the repository object, you can do:

 

$repo->get_config('archive_name');

 

Otherwise, if you don't, in the perl config, you can access stuff that's already been set.  E.g. in newfile.pl (in cfg.d), you can do:

 

$c->{new_thing} = $c->{archive_name} . ' BWAHAHAHA';

 

...but it needs to be alphabetically after the file in which archive_name is already set.

Hmmm . . .

 

In phrases (like index.xpage) you use 

 

<epc:phrase ref="archive_name"/>

 

Is that what you’re after? Or which config file and I’ll see If I have something similar . . .

Subject: [EP-tech] Getting Archive Name as a configuration value

 

Hello,

 

I feel I’m probably missing something really obvious, but I’m trying to use the Archive name phrase in configuration values.  I can’t seem to figure out how to do it.

 

Any ideas?
