It does exactly that – it sets it the first time and then doesn’t change it.

 

The easiest (dirty) way I’ve found to check it’s processing my override code is to put a

 

print STDERR “My Local Override_Function_Name: Doing this bit now\n”;

 

in the function, which should then appear in the apache error log.

 

 

 

 

Actually, looking at the code in more detail, for example this trigger (my modified version):

 

# date of first compliant deposit - this uses our value of "stage"

$c->add_dataset_trigger( 'eprint', EPrints::Const::EP_TRIGGER_BEFORE_COMMIT, sub

{

                my( %args ) = @_;

                my( $repo, $eprint, $changed ) = @args{qw( repository dataobj changed )};

 

                # trigger only applies to repos with hefce_oa plugin enabled

                return unless $eprint->dataset->has_field( "hoa_compliant" );

 

                return if $eprint->is_set( "hoa_date_fcd" );

                return if $eprint->value( "eprint_status" ) eq "inbox";

 

                for( $eprint->get_all_documents )

                {

                                next unless $_->is_set( "stage" );

                                next unless $_->value( "stage" ) eq "accepted" || $_->value( "stage" ) eq "published";

                                $eprint->set_value( "hoa_date_fcd", $_->value( "datestamp" ) );

                                $eprint->set_value( "hoa_version_fcd", $_->value( "stage" ) eq "accepted" ? "AM" : "VoR" );

                }

}, priority => 100 );

 

Does the line return if $eprint->is_set( "hoa_date_fcd" ); mean that if the date is already set, it won’t be recalculated?

 

 

 

Thanks John!

 

Okay, I’ve made some progress on this but I’m coming a little unstuck on the Date of First Compliant Deposit and Date of First Compliant Open Access.

 

So, for both of these I’ve needed to make a alight adjustment as we store our “accepted”, “published” etc in a variable called “stage”. No problem, I’ve switched “content” up for “stage” and I’m getting a date through now based, looking at the code, on EPrints::Time::get_iso_date(). The issue I have is that in all instances this is showing as todays date.

 

Speaking to Bev about how she wants this to work, she’s expecting to see:

 

First Compliant Deposit – the date the record was created, so I assume the datestamp value of the record?

 

First Compliant Open Access – the date the record was created OR the embargo date if one is set.

 

Once I’ve got these setting as expected I think I can get this deployed.

 

Any thoughts?

 

 

Hi Andrew,
Some parts of the REF_CC plugin can be overridden in the configuration.
Have a look at the stuff in ~/lib/cfg.d/ - anything that starts $c->{'something'} can be overridden in an archive specific config file.

If there are specific things you're trying to do that don't seem to be covered by this, you know where to ask!

Cheers,
John
