Re: [EP-tech] Adding Buttons to Admin Screen

Hi Yuri,

Thank you so much for your advice. I realised my wrong assumption on what "regen_abstracts" was doing, but was still confused as to how the abstracts were being generated and how to call a script etc.

I spent all day trying to get it working yesterday and it did in the end. I had to add my "config/aam_update" (In: return $self->allow( "config/aam_update" );) to my core Users.pm because I couldn't get user_roles.pl or a local Users.pm to work, but it's only on the Test server for the time being.

Now to wrestle with the google docs API to finish!

Thanks,
James

It is a default permission for the Admin role:

You've to create a new one and grant it to a user.

Looking at the plugin, the important call is:

$session->expire_abstracts()

defined in:

perl_lib/EPrints/Repository.pm:

which just set a variable on expiring date. So, when viewed, the
abstract will be recreated.

If you need to run a script, just create an event when the button is
pressed and epindexer will run it. You can find an example in the same
Datacite plugin, on the MintDoi part.
