[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
