Hi John,

 

Thanks, I have left the system level registration file alone and made changes in the repo specific file.

 

And now it all works.  We have Wizards J. I don’t know how I missed it…

 

Cheers

Matt.

 

 

 

 

Hi Matt,

I think the magic (that is slightly more magic than yours) may be in this spell:

https://github.com/eprints/eprints/blob/3.3/lib/defaultcfg/cfg.d/registration.pl#L25

 

Cheers,

John

 

 

Hi All,

 

I thought this would be a simple experiment… change the default value for a user record when it gets created from ‘user’ to ‘editor’.

 

Altering the local file …/archive/xxxxx/cfg/cfg.d/user_fields_default.pl file to include the line

 

$data->{type} =      "editor";

 

Doesn’t appear to work as expected…

 

Even altering a default (that I didn’t know existed, until I tried to figure out what was going wrong!)

Within …/perl_lib/EPrints/DataObj/User.pm, there is a sub ‘get_system_field_info’, that contains a default setting as well…

 

{ name=>"usertype", type=>"namedset", required=>1,

              set_name=>"user", input_style=>"medium", default_value=>"user" },

 

Anyone got any ideas ?

 

Cheers

 

Matt
