[EP-tech] Coversheet Plugin Help


CAUTION: This e-mail originated outside the University of Southampton.
Hello everyone,

I hope we are all keeping well.

Can anybody help me with the coversheets plugin? I have installed it and the dependencies, uploaded a coversheet template, set it to active and deposited several items that should be suitable for a coversheet to be generated.

When I deposit an item (through Elements) to the repository it goes into the review and no coversheet tasks appear in the Indexer. I move it to the live archive and no coversheets appear. The item does not have a coversheet added to it.

Even if there is some way to troubleshoot this or logs I could look at to get a clue.

At the moment the sheet is set to be added to items of type "Thesis".

There were some things I noticed and have changed. First being the template couldn't be uploaded. There was no "coversheets" folder in cfg/static so I added one and it worked. Permissions fully open as it's on the test server and I'm narrowing down problems.

The next thing I changed was in z_coversheet.pl:

$c->{gs_pdf_stich_cmd} = $c->{archiveroot} . "/bin/tools/stitchPDFs ";

to:

$c->{gs_pdf_stich_cmd} = $c->{archiveroot} . "/bin/stitchPDFs ";

because that matches the actual location of  stitchPDFs.

Looking in bin I can see the following aren't set to be  allowed to be executed by any user or group:

DocumentConverter.py
remove_coversheets

I will open them up and have another attempt, but if anybody has any more guidance it will be massively appreciated.

Thanks,
James
