[EP-tech] Re: citation modification

[af05v at ecs.soton.ac.uk (Field A.N.)]

This is probably best accomplished with an output renderer on a field.  In the field configuration, add the render_single_value property, something like this:

render_single_value => 'render_name_with_initials',

...then in a separate .pl file (e.g. z_render_name_with_initials.pl)

$c->{render_name_with_initials} = sub
{
	my ($field, $repo, $value) = @_;

	my $family = $value->{family};
	my $given = $value->{given};

	#now process as you like
	$given = substr($given, 0, 1);

	$name_string = $family . ', ' , $given;

	return $repo->xml->create_text_node('$name_string);
}

As usual, this is typed into my browser with minimal testing.  It probably won't compile.
