Presumably that ORCID / ISNI is in the internal ID field or is it out of the translation?  How many things are in your repository?

 

 

I’m getting ID’s and translated names, but then I’m also getting this ? entry. Screenshot: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B67FaE28LeB-bkYxQkZzM0tfU2M/view?usp=sharing

 

 

 

Is your view just displaying the ids or is it translating to a name e.g. from the user table?  Might it be not finding the id during the translation?

 

 

Yup. The exact definition is:

 

push @{ $c->{browse_views} }, (

{

  id => "creators",

  allow_null => 0,

  hideempty => 1,

  menus => [

    {

      fields => [ "creators_internalid", "contributors_internalid", "editors_internalid"  ],

      new_column_at => [1, 1],

      mode => "sections",

      open_first_section => 1,

      group_range_function => "EPrints::Update::Views::cluster_ranges_30",

      grouping_function => "EPrints::Update::Views::group_by_a_to_z",

    },

  ],

  order => "-date/title",

  variations => [

    "type",

    "date;truncate=4,reverse",

    "DEFAULT",

  ],

});

 

 

Hi Andrew,

Does your view definition in cfg.d have these parameters?

                allow_null => 0,

                hideempty => 1,

Hello all!

 

So, I’ve implemented an “Internal ID” for the creator browse on our new repository as per David Newman’s guide here: http://wiki.eprints.org/w/Using_Internal_IDs_for_Staff_Browse_Views

 

This works fantastically and both clears up and exposes some issues with our data which is perfect – a large part of this was to ensure we can clean our data up appropriately. One thing it has done, however, is added a ? entry to the creator browse – I’m assuming that this is picking up external authors on records who do not have internal ID’s set against them and do not have a user record. There are around 9001 of these although I cannot see them as the browse is not creating a page to show them, merely showing the number in the listing. Is there an easy way to suppress this as it’s more of a visual issue?

 

Many thanks!

Andrew
