[EP-tech] Eprints 3.4.3: adding new options for editing items
Hi Chris,
I think you are referring to the abstract pages not updating with your
changes to thesis_name and thesis_type phrases.? These are cached server
side the first time they are requested after a change to their
underlying metadata.? As changing a phrase does not change the
underlying metadata, then these pages will not be re-cached.? It does
not sound like you have run "Regenerate Abstracts", which has a button
you can click in the "System Tools" tab of the Admin page (although this
may be what your mean by "rebuilding static pages").
The other issue could be that the phrases for thesis_name and
thesis_type are already set in a phrase file that loads after
zz_webcfg.xml.? I would check your archive's cfg/lang/en/phrases/
directory for a file that starts zzz_ or similar, (i.e. anything
alphabetically later).? One further possible issue is that zz_webcfg.xml
has become corrupted and no longer applies any of its phrases.? If you
have command line access, you could try running:
xmllint zz_webcfg.xml > /dev/null
And see if you see any errors are output.? You may need to install
install xmllint which comes in the libxml2-utils APT package.
Regards
David Newman
