Wow, this is a real gold mine! Thanks for sharing.

I'm interested on:

notify_embargo_expiry

Can someone share an example on how to notify the user by email when the embargo expires?

Hi Joel,

I think you need to set (to 1) the enable_file_imports option:

https://wiki.eprints.org/w/Miscellaneous_Config_Options#E

I did spend some back in July this year going through the codebase to make sure all configuration options that were not set in the configuration files included in a default installation were documented, (as well as any of those that are defined in configuration files [1]).  As after quite a few years, I was still discovering configuration options I did not know existed and in some cases had created very similar functionality and configuration to solve the same problem.

Hey all,

We're in the process of setting up a new repository and are preparing to bulk import ~1300 articles to get it started. We are using XML to bulk import the entries (and this works fine). However, it has been tricky to find how to import a PDF along with each entry. I imagine the workflow would look something like this:

1. Upload PDFs to an accessible location on the server.
2. Include a URL reference to each individual PDF in the XML upload.
3. During the upload eprints will pull the PDF from the specified location and add it to the eprints3/archives/<archive>/documents folder 

I'm following the instructions here: https://eprints-tech.ecs.soton.ac.narkive.com/FtTwEjf7/ep-tech-bulk-import-into-new-eprints-3-repository#post10

I've performed a simple test to do an XML upload that includes "foo.png". Here's what I've done:

• Include foo.png in the /opt/eprints3 folder.
• Include /opt/eprints3/foo.png in the document heading of the XML file:

<documents>

<document>

<docid>1</docid>

<rev_number>1</rev_number>

<pos>1</pos>

<format>image/png</format>

<language>en</language>

<security>public</security>

<main>foo.png</main>

<files>

<file>

<filename>foo.png</filename>

<data href="">

</file>

</files>

</document>

</documents>

• Run the following command:

./bin/import --user 6 --enable-file-imports crsq eprint XML eprint.xml

Results: The upload works (the entry is created), but the foo.png doesn't actually link to anything. What am I missing?

Thanks,

Joel
