I adjusted the <head> ... </head> section in my default.xml template as here https://github.com/eprints/eprints/blob/3.3/lib/templates/default.xml, and it fixed the problem.

Thanks for the help guys.

Aah,
I think if you remove that, it will work.

The dynamic template that EPrints uses now adds some content in the <head> - one thing it adds is the link to the auto _javascript_ (in the template_core.pl file mentioned previously).

Let me know if that fixes it!

Cheers,
John

In secure.xml and default.xml, there is only this line with a <script> tag:
<script src="">_javascript_/secure_auto.js" type="text/_javascript_"></script>

What <script>tags are there in your template for _javascript_/xxx files?

I have a template secure.xml, it's exactly the same as default.xml. I renamed it to secure.xml.old, deleted the content of [EPRINTS_ROOT]/archives/[ARCHIVEID]/html/ and generated the pages again, but same problem.

Hi,

[Hopefully Peter or someone will confirm whether 'secure.xml' is needed any more!]

Do you have a template file called 'secure.xml' in your install?

How does it compare with the 'default.xml' template?

Looking at the code in the bin/generate_apacheconf, the default template might get copied (but not all cases are covered - e.g. templates in a theme).

The _javascript_ variables that differ between secure_auto.js and auto-3.3.15.js are now dynamically generated in [EPRINTS_ROOT]/lib/cfg.d/template_core.pl

So I *think* the secure template isn't needed any more.

If secure.xml exists, and you remove/rename it, does it all work OK?

Cheers,

John

Every index.html file from [EPRINTS_ROOT]/archives/[ARCHIVEID]/html/en and other subdirectories contains these two lines:

<script src="" href="https://eprints.domain.com/_javascript_/secure_auto.js" target="_blank">https://eprints.domain.com/_javascript_/secure_auto.js" type="text/_javascript_"></script>

<script type="text/_javascript_" src="">s"></script>

I assume it should contain just one of the lines.

Are these files generated with a template? Or what could make eprints to generate these files containing both those lines?

After a little investigation it seems that two _javascript_ files are loaded: _javascript_/auto-3.3.15.js and _javascript_/secure_auto.js. Both contain the line "document.observe('dom:loaded', function () { new Lightbox(); });".

Hi John
is this caused by a secure.xml template causing a duplicate call?

Thanks
Peter
