http://mailman.ecs.soton.ac.uk/mailman/listinfo/eprints-tech *** EPrints community wiki - http://wiki.eprints.org/ Hi Duncan, Thanks for the direction.

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? > The EPrint's ID seems to be accessible through the session object, so adding to the code you already provided we could do something like the following: my $type_specific_phrasename = $phrasename; my %types; my AT types = map ( EPrints::DataObj::EPrint->new($session,$_)->get_value("type") , ↵ AT {$session->{query}->{eprintid}} ); @types{ AT types}=(); if (scalar(keys(%types))==1){ $type_specific_phrasename.="#".$types[0]; } It seems to work for the workflow scenario I've tried, and I would be interested whether the same technique would work for the field titles. Maybe if I get some more time. Regards Stephen > Cheers, > > Duncan > > > Ps The same would be great for field titles.
