Hi all,

I put the following in views.pl
{
  id => "people",
  fields => "creators_name/editors_name",
  order => "title",
},

and when running "generate_views repo_id" I get the following error ↵
"Invalid
path value 'last_name:first_name' in menu: people/lastname:firstname ' for
as many creators in database.

I would appreciate your help.

Thanks

Okay, so I learned that there is a general issue with browsing by fields
that have spaces in them. So if I want to browse by "funders" and the ↵
funder
is University of Southampton, it throws an exception. I know some people
have found a work around to this so please help if you know how?

Thanks

Hi Henok,

I think these problems are fixed in 3.1 rc 2. Certainly should be fixed 
by the 3.1 release.

Cheers,
Tim.

This is a multi-part message in MIME format.

I am migrating to 3.1 rc 2 and I am seeing a similar problem.

 

We have subject and division ids that contain . and _  it looks like the
. and _ are replaced with =2E and =5F respectively

Invalid value id in get_filters 'dept=5Fmet' in menu:

Invalid value id in get_filters 'dept=5Fmet' in menu:

The urls in the generated browse pages use =2E and =5F but the generated
files use . and _

 

So the browse by subject page would have the link
http://server.reading.ac.uk/view/subjects/I=2E4=2E8/ but the url that
works is  is http://server.reading.ac.uk/view/subjects/I.4.8/

similarly the browse by division page would have a link
http://server.reading.ac.uk/view/divisions/dept=5Fmet/ but the url that
works is http://server.reading.ac.uk/view/divisions/dept_met/

 

The urls by year inside the above pages are correct e.g.

 

http://server.reading.ac.uk/view/subjects/I.4.8/1996.html

http://server.reading.ac.uk/view/divisions/dept_met/2008.html

 

Any ideas what is causing this?
