Hi List,While importing data from ePrints version 2x to 3.0.5 we found out that 
there are several fields where the phrase id for field names are different and 
hence one gets a whole list of undefined filed name error when trying to import 
data.The first step I took to getting rid of this error was to merge the 
eprint_fields.xml file generated by mtoolkit and the existing one of 3.0.5.By 
doing this our eprint_fields.xml file has the old phrases and the also the new 
phrases.And the error disppeared.However there appear to be some fields which 
seem to be unable to get any data.One particular case is of alternative 
location.Looks like in previous version, the id for this field was 
"eprint_fieldname_altloc" and I think this field allowed you to use a 
URL as its value.Now there are two fields that allow URLs,whose ids 
are:"eprint_fieldname_official_url" and 
 "eprint_fieldname_related_url"But the value of altloc does not go in 
any of these, due to which  the data of "altloc" does not get 
imported.So my question is:what is that right field to put the data of altloc 
of previous version in the 3.0.5?Would anyone know ? Am I missing 
something?ThanksRanjuNUIM,Ireland.
