We would like to include the display/count of the sub-types for doctypes on the “View by Document Types” page:

http://spectrum.concordia.ca/view/doctype/

I think that our settings are close to the EPrints defaults; we have the following “Conference or Workshop Item” types (defined as “pres_type” in eprint_fields.pl): paper, lecture, speech, poster, keynote, other.  

We also have the following Monograph types (defined as “pres_type” in eprint_fields.pl): technical report, project report, documentation, manual, working paper, discussion paper, other.  

Thus, on the view by doctype, we would like to see something like this:

 

•             Article (1319)

•             Book Section (100)

•             Monograph (87)

·         technical_report ([count of technical_report])

·         project_report ([count of project_report])

·         documentation (count of documentation)

·         manual (count of manual)

·         working_paper (…etc…)

·         discussion_paper ()

·         other ()

•             Conference or Workshop Item (121)

·         paper ()

·         lecture ()

·         speech ()

·         poster ()

·         keynote ()

·         other ()

•             Book (6)

•             Thesis (13040)

…

Has this type of view been done already?  Any advice on the best way to do that?  Is that something that can be done just by tweaking the views.pl?

A related question to that is, by default, the “Book” doctype is separated out from “Monograph”, which seems counter-intuitive.  Has anyone combined these two doctypes?  Is there a reason to keep them separate?

Best wishes,

Tomasz
