Editing HOW TO: Add a New Field (section)

= Add it to the the Abstract (or View-User) page =

This is also optional. If you want it to appear on the web page for this item then edit either archives/ARCHIVEID/cfg/cfg.d/eprint_render.pl or archives/ARCHIVEID/cfg/cfg.d/user_render.pl. 

In our example we only want to mention items if an item was not produced locally. We'll add it below the documents and above the abstract...

Single language example:

     if( $eprint->get_value( "local" ) ne "yes" )
     {
          # don't need to "my $p" as it's done earlier.
          $p = $session->make_element( "p" );
          $p->appendChild( $session->make_text( "This item was " ) );
          $p->appendChild( $eprint->render_value( "local" ) );
          $p->appendChild( $session->make_text( "." ) );

          # Append our new paragraph to the page.
          $page->appendChild( $p );
     }

Multiple-language example:

If you want to make it handle more than language then we'll need to use the archive phrase file - we would add something like this to each languages file:

     <epp:phrase id="page:itemnotlocal"><p>This item was <pin ref="status" />.</p></epp:phrase>

And to the archives/ARCHIVEID/cfg/cfg.d/eprint_render.pl file:

     if( $eprint->get_value( "local" ) ne "yes" )
     {
          my $localmsg = $session->html_phrase(
                 "page:itemnotlocal",
                 status=>$eprint->render_value( "local" ) );
          $page->appendChild( $localmsg );
     }

You may prefer to use this method even if you are only using a single language.
