I think I have noticed that – but under 3.3.10

I allude to it here: https://github.com/eprints/eprints/issues/132 - but when I implemented a ‘faculty maximum embargo’ for our Etheses repository, I had to make a local version of the EPrints::Plugin::Screen::EPrint::Deposit plugin – and call the validate method in there:

sub render

{

        my( $self ) = @_;

 

        my $problems = $self->{processor}->{eprint}->validate( $self->{processor}->{for_archive}, $self->workflow_id );

        if( scalar @{$problems} > 0 )

        {

                my $dom_problems = $self->{session}->make_element( "ul" );

                foreach my $problem_xhtml ( @{$problems} )

                {

                        my $li = $self->{session}->make_element( "li" );

                        $li->appendChild( $problem_xhtml );

                        $dom_problems->appendChild( $li );

                }

                $self->workflow->link_problem_xhtml( $dom_problems, "EPrint::Edit" );

                $self->{processor}->add_message( "warning", $dom_problems );

        }

…

 

 

Does that sound anything like what you’re seeing??

 

Cheers,

Hi Liam,

Can’t say I’ve noticed it myself on our wonderfully installed and customised eprints instance <ahem>*  What version of eprints and OS etc have you got in your current setup?

 

*(in-joke note to public – Liam was somewhat involved when we first set up eprints here)

Hi everyone,

 

Just wondered if anyone else has noticed a problem with the validate_eprint() function not being called? Have tried this in our main Eprints code and against a fairly vanilla copy of EPrints that I keep for testing. Neither function (the default or the archive specific one) seems to be being triggered.

 

Thanks

Liam
