Editing Repository configuration (section)

==metadata-types.xml==
This file allows you to configure the types of eprint, user, document and document security level.

When you add a new type you should add it's name to the archive phrases file(s). The phraseid is "dataset_typename_typename" eg. "document_typename_pdf", and you should add a new citation to the citations file. Any fields which are not required but appear in the citation should probably be inside a <ep:ifset> so that you don't get see "UNSPECIFIED" if they are not, er, specified.

The main element is "metadatatypes". This contains a list of "dataset" elements each of which has a name attribute.

The "type" elements in user and eprint "dataset"s should contain a list of "field" elements. This describes the fields which may be edited for this type and the order that they appear on the form.

You may include system fields in this list, but be careful if you do.

===Multi-page metadata (2.3.0+)===
You may optionally add <page name="pagename" /> elements to the field list. These break the submission process into smaller stages. The pagename is used to identify the sub-page, for purposes of validation etc. Pages only have an effect on eprint types, not user, document etc.

See the section on paged metadata.XX

===Attributes for "field" element===
; name (May not be ommited) : The name of the metadata field.
; required : If set to "yes" then this field may not be left blank. Some system fields are always required no matter how this is set.
; staffonly : This field only appears on the "editor" edit eprint form, not the user one. Or, in the case of the user dataset, the staff edit-user page.

===The "security" dataset===
This is a handy place to define the security levels. The type with no name is special. It is the "public" security type. All other types will require a valid username and password. If that username is acceptable for a given document is decided by the can_user_view_document subroutine in ArchiveConfig.pm

===The "document" dataset===
By default eprints requires at least one of ps, pdf, ascii or html to be uploaded before an eprint is valid. You may change this list in ArchiveConfig.pm - any more complicated conditions will have to be checked in the eprint validation subroutine.
