Re: [EP-tech] eprints 3.4 Add a new field to the eprint Abstract page

Hi John and Christian,

I see no reason why any of those three methods should not work on 3.4.2 (or 3.4.3 for that matter).  I have not tested them but when I get a chance I will confirm this is the case and update the wiki page as appropriate.

Sorry, I missed the point yesterday. I was rather busy / distracted and just thought it was a simple request about how to make configuration changes (i.e. add a field) to tryme.demo.eprint-hosting.org.

Regards

David Newman

Hi Christian,
I think you probably meant 'How can I render specific sub-set of the contributors field on a page' - rather than adding something to the example EPrints instance itself?

 

I've written up three different approaches that can be taken: https://wiki.eprints.org/w/How_to_display_specific_contributors

This is based on EPrints 3.3.16 - but may be applicable to 3.4.2.

 

If anyone using 3.4.2 would like to  add to that page (or confirm things work), please do!

 

Cheers,

John

Hi Christian,

I don't think you can add extra fields like "Thesis Advisor" without being a repository admin.  If you can privately email me your username on tryme.demo.eprints-hosting.org, then I can update your account to be an admin.  Then you can use the "Manage Metadata Fields" in the Admin page -> Config. Tools menu to add a new field to the eprint data object.

Alternatively, instead of using tryme you can setup up your own test instance using  Docker [1].

Hey Guys

 

How can I add the filed “Thesis Advisor” from Contributors to the Abstract Pages? We use eprints Vesion 3.4.2

As an example this page:

http://tryme.demo.eprints-hosting.org/id/eprint/21/

 

Thanks for your support.

 

Greetings

Christian
