Re: [EP-tech] Fwd: Errors running generate_views and generate_abstracts

Hi Fernando,

Abstract is short-hand for the HTML web page that represents a publication on your EPrints repository.  E.g. https://pub.demo.eprints-hosting.org/id/eprint/23/.  If you want to learn about terms used in EPrints see:

https://wiki.eprints.org/w/EPrints_Glossary

In particular the description of an "Abstract page".

With respect to your issues finding the browse_link causing problems with generate_abstracts, I am talking about the field configuration like that highlighted in the URL below:

https://github.com/eprints/eprints3.4/blob/c35c2c5a0f23c1cca05699633645ba7e3d523d12/flavours/pub_lib/cfg.d/eprint_fields.pl#L88L94

If you just remove the browse_link line that should have solve you problem.  However, the file you would have needed to edit would have likely been under your archive at cfg/cfg.d/eprint_fields.pl.  The alternative solution would be to make sure the divisions browse view is present (and uncommented) in flavours/pub_lib/cfg.d/views.pl or your archive's cfg/cfg.d/views.pl if the latter exists.  As you may have observed, if there is an identically named file under you archive, it will take precedence over the one under flavours/pub_lib/.

Thanks, David.

Both problems were solved with your advice.

For generate_views, the phrase was in '../ARCHIVE_ID/cfg/lang/es/phrases/system.xml'. I commented out the old one, added new entries with their spanish translations, and had no issues generating the views.

For generate_abstracts, it was trickier. I searched (many greps), tried to understand the perl code, and finally found a commented divisions code block in '../ARCHIVE_ID/cfg/cfg.d/views.pl'. I uncommented it and placed inside the $c->{browse_views} = [...] code block.
Abstracts generated without problems.
Although I'm still trying to understand what abstracts are ;-))

Many thanks and best regards.
Fernando Hdez.

Hi Fernando,

The fact you have a multi-langugage repository is probably not the issue.  The generate_views is that you have an old version of the phrase Update/Views:up_a_level, likely under your archive (i.e. EPRINTS_PATH/archives/ARCHIVE_ID/cfg/lang/en/phrases/).  I cannot be what sure in which file this phrase will be, possibly zz_webcfg.xml but otherwise use (the Unix command) grep to find it.  I expect the phrase line you will find its like:

<epp:phrase id="Update/Views:up_a_level"><div class="no_link_decor"><epc:pin name="url"><img src="" alt="[up]" border='0' /> Up a level</epc:pin></div></epp:phrase>

This needs to be replaced with three separate phrases:

<epp:phrase id="Update/Views:up_a_level"> Up a level</epp:phrase>
<epp:phrase id="Update/Views:up_a_level_alt">[up]</epp:phrase>
<epp:phrase id="Update/Views:up_a_level_src">/style/images/multi_up.png</epp:phrase>

I think the generate_abstracts issue is due to having removed a browse view for divisions but not a 'browse_link' reference to this in the divisions field, most likely in the archive's cfg/cfg.d/eprint_fields.pl.  If it is not under this file, similarly use grep to find incidences of 'browse_link' specifically, the one for 'divisions'.

Hello.

I have EPrints 3.4.6 on the latest AlmaLinux and Apache. I upgraded from EPrints 3.3.12 on a very old Ubuntu.
Everything seems to work fine but when running generate_views and generate_abstracts via daily cron it get the same message hundreds of times:
  • In generate_views myid
    CROND[108159]: (eprints) CMDOUT (missing parameter ‘url’ when making phrase ‘Update/Views:up_a_level’)

  • In generate_abstracts myid
    CROND[106480]: (eprints) CMDOUT (browse_link to view ‘divisions’ not found for field ‘divisions’)
I'm looking for information about these errors but no luck so far.
My site is in english and spanish.

I would appreciate any help or recommendations on how to resolve them.

Thanks and best regards.
Fernando Hdez.
