Re: [EP-tech] "newbie" questions about customizing and static pages

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

I come from a background of making fanzines (fan magazines - fan-made
magazines - typically I've created videogame related magazines,
written by members of the public keen to share their videogame
knowledge), so learning about Cogito dla Polonii, as a youth magazine
for Polish people abroad, is pretty cool, =).

Yes, if an approach works, it's not stupid.

Am only sorry for any pain you experienced with the EPrints API.

There are easier modern Perl web frameworks, if all you wish to do is
run a website, such as Catalyst, Mojolicious, and Dancer 2.

EPrints' Publications flavour, of course, has a lot of the work done
for you, if you wish to have an Open Access Repository solution out of
the box.

Do you have any code to share on your approach? ( I.e. when you
mention creating a view, are you talking about, for example:
https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fpbc.uw.edu.pl%2Fview%2Fdivisions%2FCogito.html&data=05%7C02%7Ceprints-tech%40ecs.soton.ac.uk%7C0b0de29286f346a9371208dd609e97bd%7C4a5378f929f44d3ebe89669d03ada9d8%7C0%7C0%7C638772956466414145%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C40000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=Y%2FFS8%2BVKzCgnOu4gM3w%2FNFPGg6GiPf7a%2Bmh4IwANaOw%3D&reserved=0 - and then of course
am curious as to where the prototype code was or is, that fetched the
html? ).

Are you able to share how you first attempted it via Perl and the EPrints API,
and then what the obstacles you encountered were?

If all you wanted was a static page, there is an EPrints ingredient
you can use called Easy Pages, =).
https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com%2Feprints%2Feasy_pages%2F&data=05%7C02%7Ceprints-tech%40ecs.soton.ac.uk%7C0b0de29286f346a9371208dd609e97bd%7C4a5378f929f44d3ebe89669d03ada9d8%7C0%7C0%7C638772956466448770%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C40000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=YE9u6iZuArqZuQgNj%2FGWXkgyp92s3CDHpHD8kQSo8eg%3D&reserved=0

Of course, if you have a solution that is fully working for your
purposes, you could consider providing it as a solution for others to
use too, by sharing open source code via the EPrints User Group:
https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Feprintsug.github.io%2F&data=05%7C02%7Ceprints-tech%40ecs.soton.ac.uk%7C0b0de29286f346a9371208dd609e97bd%7C4a5378f929f44d3ebe89669d03ada9d8%7C0%7C0%7C638772956466470903%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C40000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=XtsAIznakC1%2BhAUweXbeanZnK0PDWsHibc7K%2B3PtTPM%3D&reserved=0

I once needed dynamic content on a static EPrint summary page, and
wrote some custom JavaScript to fetch the dynamic content via the
Fetch API, from an async function.


Yours,
Andrew.

Hi all,

Well, in Polish we have a saying "if not with stick, [try] with a club."
Behold the fruit of my labour: https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fpbc.uw.edu.pl%2Fcogito.html&data=05%7C02%7Ceprints-tech%40ecs.soton.ac.uk%7C0b0de29286f346a9371208dd609e97bd%7C4a5378f929f44d3ebe89669d03ada9d8%7C0%7C0%7C638772956466492322%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C40000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=LEXLTVkA%2FQe%2BTv6K1rTM2dqnm6IkWR4qvsh2QTnQH9g%3D&reserved=0
After trying (and failing miserably) to write perl code, attempting to
access internal API, I tried a completely different, and so stupid it
hurts, approach - enabling HTML-only generation of a view, and fetching
it with Prototype into page.

It's stupid, but it works - it's not stupid!
