=== Missing Images ===

A number of image links will be broken because eprints is looking for them on urlpath rather than on secureurl. In some cases this can be fixed by replacing urlpath with secureurl in the code, but some phrases may appear on both secure and insecure pages. Therefore we also need a solution which can be evaluated by a epin in a template. The cleanest way I could find of doing this is as follows:

Add two methods to  EPrints::Session


  ######################################################################
  =pod
  
  =item $foo = $session->get_baseurl()
  
  Gets the base url for images, depending on whether the session is secure
  or not (N.B. by secure we mean EPrints_secure is yes)

  =cut
  ######################################################################
  sub get_baseurl
  {
  	my( $self ) = @_;
  	
  	my $esec = $self->get_request->dir_config( "EPrints_Secure" );
     	if( defined $esec && $esec eq "yes" )
  	{
     		return $self->get_repository->get_conf( "securepath" );
   	}
   	else
   	{
   		return $self->get_repository->get_conf( "base_url" );
   	}		
  }
  
  ######################################################################
  =pod
   
  =item $foo = $session->get_imageurl()
  
  Gets the base url for images, depending on whether the session is secure
  or not (N.B. by secure we mean EPrints_secure is yes)

  =cut
  ######################################################################
  sub get_imageurl
  {
  	my( $self ) = @_;
  	
  	return $self->get_baseurl."/style/images/";
  }  

Search through the eprints code for every occurrence of the string /style/images/ and replace with a call to get_imageurl

e.g. In /opt/eprints/perl_lib/EPrints/Plugin/Screen/Items.pm, change the line

  my $imagesurl = $self->{session}->get_repository->get_conf( "urlpath" )."/style/images";

to

  my $imagesurl = $self->{session}->get_imageurl;


We will add a variable called baseurl to the variables available in a script:

In the execute method of EPrints::Script, add:

  $state->{baseurl} = [$state->{session}->get_baseurl, "STRING" ];

before the run command is called on the compiler. It will now be possible to get the url for images in a phrase through {$baseurl}

In /opt/eprints3/lib/lang/en/phrases/system.xml, change the links to images in the following phrases to use $baseurl

sys:ep_form_required
Plugin/InputForm/Surround/Default:show_help
Plugin/InputForm/Surround/Default:hide_help
lib/session:show_help
lib/session:hide_help


e.g. the ep_form_required phrase becomes:

  <epp:phrase id="sys:ep_form_required"><img src="{$baseurl}/style/images/required.png" border="0" class="ep_required" alt="Required"/>&nbsp;<epc:pin name="label"/></epp:phrase>

If some repositories aren't using https, you may prefer to override these phrases on a per repository basis.
