Hi All,

I'm afraid to say that no answers have appeared (yet)

Looking into the code, I think for contextual help text we'd need to change ↵
Metafield.pm

sub render_help
{
	my( $self, $session ) =  AT _;

	if( defined $self->{help_xhtml} )
	{
		return $self->{help_xhtml};
	}

	my $phrasename = $self->{confid}."_fieldhelp_".$self->{name}; 

	return $session->html_phrase( $phrasename );
}

If you can get the eprint type in this section of code, you could change it to ↵
be something like:

sub render_help
{
	my( $self, $session ) =  AT _;

	if( defined $self->{help_xhtml} )
	{
		return $self->{help_xhtml};
	}

	my $phrasename = $self->{confid}."_fieldhelp_".$self->{name}; 

	my $type_specific_phrasename = ($phrasename . "#" . ?getEprintType?;

	if (EPrints::Language->has_phrase($type_specific_phrasename) {
		return $session->html_phrase($type_specific_phrasename);
	} else {
		return $session->html_phrase( $phrasename );
	}
}

This could allow you to set the following in the phrases file:
<epp:phrase id="eprint_fieldhelp_title">This is the title of ↵
the item</epp:phrase>
<epp:phrase id="eprint_fieldhelp_title#book">This is the title ↵
of the book</epp:phrase>
<epp:phrase id="eprint_fieldhelp_title#booksection">This is the ↵
title of the chapter and not the book itself</epp:phrase>

There's always a default to use but you can give specific help for specific ↵
resource types.

My main problem is that I can't work out how to get the current eprint record's ↵
data - this is the eprint we're editing in the workflow. Calling $self{type} ↵
will give you the field type (ala Longtext) and not the eprint type (ala ↵
Article). I'm also unsure about getting to the Language object.

Any ideas on getting that eprint type?

Cheers,

Duncan

Ps The same would be great for field titles. For example
<epp:phrase ↵
id="eprint_fieldname_volume">Volume</epp:phrase>
<epp:phrase id="eprint_fieldname_volume#book">Series ↵
Volume</epp:phrase>
...but I just don't have the time to keep digging in the code

Hi Duncan,

I was wondering whether you found a solution for this?

If so I wondered whether you wouldn't mind sharing it.  I think that we 
would like to do the exact same thing.

TIA
Stephen

item) and just try to change the wording on the screen depending on the ↵
resource type being described. This is along the lines of the citations where ↵
you can use epc conditionals to format the output based on resource type.
