[EP-tech] Re: Browse view by document language.

Hi Jacob,

OK - "documents.language" should work in a search configuration (on EPrints 3.3+) but perhaps this doesn't work for "views".

One reason this may not work is conceptual (and this complements Alan's reply): you are rendering a list of "EPrint" objects but "documents.language" is a switch/field on the "Document" objects. Since there's a 1-to-n relationships between EPrint and Document objects, the software will be confused as to how to render the alternative languages (since the alternative languages are, in fact, part of the same EPrint object).

Is it that you want to only show the documents in Danish on your "view"?

Thank you for clearing that out. I also tried "documents.language", but it produced the same error.

But why don't you think it will work? Not that I would be likely to understand a complicated explanation, but I would really love to have that option on my repository.

If it is indeed impossible, do I have any other options for letting my visitors sort the documents without searching.

I'm not keen on making a full translation of EPrints into Danish, and furthermore most Danes speak English as well, so I wouldn't want hide the English documents from my Danish visitors, just let them be able to sort them.

Thank you both for your feedback!

John was close, but it's "documents" (now I'm not sure what you're trying to achieve will work)

Thanks for your reply, but I actually that was one of the few other options I already tried.

It produces a slightly different error, but still no view list.
