NAME
generate_views - Generate static browse pages for an EPrint archive
SYNOPSIS
generate_views archiveid [options]
DESCRIPTION
This script renders static "browse views" for an EPrint Archive.
What this does is generate browse pages for each field configured as browsable in ArchiveConfig.pm. It creates a static web page for each value of that field, and index pages to navigate to them.
For example, if we make "year" browseable then this script will generate one page for each unique value of the year field. So a user can then view the 1995 page and see links to all the 1995 eprints.
Advantages of this are that this puts less load on the database than user searches. Assuming you pick two or three sensible fields to make browsable.
This script should be run every hour or so, but that should once a day or even once a week on large archives, as the more eprints the longer it will take to run. The rough length of time to run this is of the order of O( languages * eprints * browsable fields ). You can automate running this with the cron system.
