Hi list,

 Can eprints define a field to host an external link, or a way to make 
the link when it finds an url in a field?

 TIA!

Sure. In EPrints 2, look at the official_url field definition in 
ArchiveMetadataFieldsConfig.pm and how it is rendered in 
ArchiveRenderConfig.pm.

In EPrints 3, look at the official_url and related_url field definitions 
in eprint_fields.pl and how official_url is rendered in eprint_render.pl

Hi,

I think I might have spotted a potential problem with the Firebox
browser as opposed to IE.  

When I log in as a user, and then press the "New Item" button, I ↵
should
be taken to a new page, where I can begin adding details.  This works
fine in IE, but not in Firefox.

I am using IE7 nad FireFox 2.

Has anyone else had this problem?

David.

Hi David,

Thanks for the report - which version of EPrints is this?

What do you see in Firefox - just a blank page?

Thanks,

Tim

David,

I don't have eprints3; but I don't have any problem with "new item"
using Firefox on the demo site.  

In fact, going a step further, I've not really had problems using
Firefox with anything.

I have a browser issue with EP3 too, but don't know if it is just an individual ↵
incidence or a potential problem.
We are running EP3 Beta3.0, and when I try to deposit item using Firefox, ↵
during the standard workflow, in the second step "upload", after I ↵
select file for new document input form, clicking "upload" buttom ↵
brings error message "Document creation failed." and in server site ↵
there is no directory created nor file uploaded. But using IE for same file ↵
works well. This happened to only one of our several PCs we tried. This PC uses ↵
Windows XP professional, Firefox 1.5.0.9, IE 6.0.

Chris, this does not solve the problem. 

Not only does the 'New Item' button work, but none of the others do either on ↵
that page.

The buttons that do work are:

Import Items (only ½  the time)
Home 
About
Browse by Year
Browse by Subject

the others don't work and then they sometimes work.  I have not been able to ↵
establish what conditions are required to make the buttons work.  It seems as ↵
if they work after a bit of clicking about.  It may be a problem with the ↵
browser, I am not sure. 

Can you reproduce the error over there? Can you see our page, ↵
http://repository.wit.ie/ ?

Cheers,

David.

.. and there you go.  I have just written the last email to you (and
the list) and the error goes.  

 * If I log in and count to 10, the bug maifests. 
 * If I log in and then count to 20, the bug does not manifest.  
 * If I login, count to 10, and click a button, I then am brought back
to zero, because I have to count to 20 all over again to get to the
point where the bug does not manifest.

Hopefully that gives some help.

David.

Hi,

we do have the same problems as David: EP3RC1 on a Suse Linux
Enterprise Server 10 box (Apache 2.2.3, mod_perl 2.0.2, Perl  5.8.8). 

The symptom is that the "Screens" in /cgi/users/home don't work as
expected. That is if you klick on a  link leading to a screen page, a
page is loaded and the correct URL in the browsers address field is
shown. However, quite often the page shown is the same as before or
(most of the time) is the screen=User::View. 

We found this behaviour for different browsers on different PCs and
under Windows and Linux. Nothing shows up in the apache error log.

It appears as if this bug can happen to all screens and we thoght that
you never know in advance when this will happen. However, waiting for
about 20 seconds after  login before klicking any other screen page
seems to circumvent the bug.

Hope this helps.

Helge
