Re: [EP-tech] Adding Google Custom Search Engine to EPrints xpage file

Hi John,


Thanks for the tip - much appreciated.


Originally, it was throwing an error that it fails to parse due to a named space error.


Failed to parse XML file:

namespace error : Namespace prefix gcse on search is not defined

<gcse:search></gcse:search>


But following your advice, I registered the tag using the following and at least the error has gone away:


<xpage:page xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xmlns:xpage="http://eprints.org/ep3/xpage" xmlns:epc="http://eprints.org/ep3/control" xmlns:gcse="google">

Thanks again for the tip! :-)

Cheers,

Andrew

Hi,

Apologies, early morning train-based emails... ‘page’ xml is what I meant (i.e. the xpage)…

 

Cheers,

John

Thanks John.

 

Yes, the error was to do with namespaces. I’m new to eprints, we are reskinning it for our library team, so what/where is cage XML? I think this might be my only possible lead, otherwise I might have to give up on trying to use GCS.

 

Cheers

Dan

What is the error that gets thrown?
Anything to do with namespaces?

I'm guessing you're putting balanced tags in - so my hunch is that the gcse: is an unrecognised name space?
If so, does registering it in the top of the cage XML help?

(Not tried any of this... - just early-morning guessing!)

Cheers,
John

Subject: [EP-tech] Adding Google Custom Search Engine to EPrints xpage file

 

Hi all,

 

Just wondering ... has anybody been able to implement a Google Custom Search Engine with EPrints. I noticed that ROAR attempted to do it - http://roar.eprints.org/content.html - but when I run a search, I get a 403 error.

 

The problem is that when the tag <gcse> is put in an xpage file, EPrints throws an error - I'm assuming it doesn't recognise the tag. Wrapping the tag in cdata tags or using _javascript_ to insert the element don't work.

 

Any suggestions/tips would be much appreciated.

 

Thank you!

 

Cheers,

 

Andrew
