NAME

EPrints::DataObj::Subject - Class and methods relating to the subjects tree.

User Comments

DESCRIPTION

This class represents a single node in the subejcts tree. It also contains a number of methods for handling the entire tree.

This class is a subclass of EPrints::DataObj.

Constructor Methods

User Comments

new

$subject = EPrints::DataObj::Subject->new( $session, $subjectid )

Create a new subject object with the ID $subjectid. The values for the subject are loaded from the database.

User Comments

new_from_data

$subject = EPrints::DataObj::Subject->new_from_data( $session, $data )

Construct a new subject object from a hash reference containing the relevant fields. Generally this method is only used to construct new Subjects coming out of the database.

User Comments

create

$subject = EPrints::DataObj::Subject::create( $session, $id, $name, $parents, $depositable )

Creates a new subject in the database. $id is the ID of the subject, $name is a multilang data structure with the name of the subject in one or more languages. E.g.

{ en=>"Trousers", en-us=>"Pants } $parents is a reference to an array containing the ID of one or more  other subjects (don't make loops!). If $depositable is true then  data objects (typically eprints) may belong to this subject.

User Comments

create_from_data

$dataobj = EPrints::DataObj::Subject->create_from_data( $session, $data, $dataset )

Returns undef if a bad (or no) subjectid is specified in $data.

Otherwise calls the parent method in EPrints::DataObj.

Class Methods

User Comments

get_system_field_info

$fields = EPrints::DataObj::Subject->get_system_field_info

Returns an array describing the system metadata of the subject dataset.

User Comments

get_dataset_id

$dataset = EPrints::DataObj::Subject->get_dataset_id

Returns the id of the EPrints::DataSet object to which this record belongs.

User Comments

Object Methods

User Comments

commit

$success = $subject->commit( [ $force ] )

Commit this subject to the database, but only if any fields have changed since we loaded it.

If $force is set then always commit, even if there appear to be no changes.

User Comments

remove

$success = $subject->remove

Remove this subject from the database.

User Comments

_get_ancestors

@subject_ids = $subject->_get_ancestors

Returns and array of all the ancestor subjects of this subject.

User Comments

top

$subject = $subject->top

Returns the subject that is at the top of this subject's tree, which may be the subject itself.

Returns undef if the subject is not part of a tree.

User Comments

create_child

$child_subject = $subject->create_child( $id, $name, $depositable )

Similar to create but this creates a new subject as a child of the current subject.

$id is the ID for the new child subject. $name is the label for this new subject and $depositable is a boolean indicating whether this new subject is depositable.

Returns the new child subject.

User Comments

get_children

@children = $subject->get_children

Returns a list of subject data objects which are direct children of the current subject.

User Comments

get_parents

@parents = $subject->get_parents

Returns a list of subject data objects which are direct parents of the current subject.

User Comments

can_post

$boolean = $subject->can_post( [ $user ] )

Determines whether the given $user if specified can post in this subject.

Currently there is no way to configure subjects for certain users, so this just returns the true or false depending on the depositable flag.

User Comments

render_with_path

$xhtml = $subject->render_with_path( $session, $topsubjid )

Returns the XHTML DOM rendering name of this subject including it's path from $topsubjid.

$topsubjid must be an ancestor of this subject.

E.g.

Library of Congress > B Somthing > BC Somthing more Detailed

User Comments

get_paths

@paths = $subject->get_paths( $session, $topsubjid )

This function returns all the paths from this subject back up to the specified top subject.

@paths is an array of array references. Each of the inner arrays is a list of subject id's describing a path down the tree from $topsubjid to $session.

User Comments

get_subjects

$subject_pairs = $subject->get_subjects ( [$postable_only], [$show_top_level], [$nes_tids], [$no_nest_label] )

Return a reference to an array. Each item in the array is a two element list.

The first element in the list is an indenifier string.

The second element is a utf-8 string describing the subject (in the current language), including all the items above it in the tree, but only as high as this subject.

The subjects which are returned are this item and all its children, and childrens children etc. The order is it returns this subject, then the first child of this subject, then children of that (recursively), then the second child of this subject etc.

If $postable_only is true then filter the results to only contain subjects which have the "depositable" flag set to true.

If $show_top_level is not true then the pair representing the current subject is not included at the start of the list.

If $nest_ids is true then each then the ids retured are nested so that the ids of the children of this subject are prefixed with this subjects id and a colon, and their children are prefixed by their nested id and a colon. eg. L:LC:LC003 rather than just "LC003"

if $no_nest_label is true then the subject label only contains the name of the subject, not the higher level ones.

A default result from this method would look something like this:

 [
   [ "D", "History" ],
   [ "D1", "History: History (General)" ],
   [ "D111", "History: History (General): Medieval History" ]
]

User Comments

_get_subjects2

$subjects = $subject->_get_subjects2( $postableonly, $hidenode, $nestids, $subjectmap, $rmap, $prefix )

Recursive function used by get_subjects.

User Comments

count_eprints

$count = $subject->count_eprints( $dataset )

Returns the number of data objects in the dataset (typically eprints), which are in this subject or one of its decendants. Searches all fields of type subject.

User Comments

render_description

$subject->render_description

Returns a rendering describing the subject.

This is an alias for:

$subject->render_value( "name" )

User Comments

Utility Methods

User Comments

remove_all

EPrints::DataObj::Subject::remove_all( $session )

Remove all subjects from the database. Use with care!

User Comments

get_all

( $subject_map, $reverse_map ) = EPrints::DataObj::Subject::get_all( $session )

Get all the subjects for the current archvive of $session.

$subject_map is a reference to a hash. The keys of the hash are the id's of the subjects. The values of the hash are the EPrint::Subject object relating to that id.

$reverse_map is a reference to a hash. Each key is the id of a subject. Each value is a reference to an array. The array contains a EPrints::DataObj::Subject objects, one for each child of the subject with the id. The array is sorted by the labels for the subjects, in the current language.

User Comments

valid_id

$boolean = EPrints::DataObj::Subject::valid_id( $id )

Returns true if the string $id is an acceptable identifier for a subject.

This does not check all possible illegal values, just that it has no whitespace.

User Comments

Deprecated Methods

User Comments

posted_eprints

@eprints = $subject->posted_eprints( $dataset )

DEPRECATED

This method is no longer used by EPrints, and may be removed in a later release.

Returns all the data objects in the $dataset, (typically, eprint or its virtual datasets, such as archive, buffer and inbox, which are in this subject (or below it in the tree, its children, etc.). It searches all fields of type subject.

User Comments

render

$subj->render

DEPRECATED

Subjects cannot be rendered. Use render_description instead.

+The subjects which are returned are this item and all its children,  and childrens children etc. The order is it returns  this subject, then the first child of this subject, then children of  that (recursively), then the second child of this subject etc.
+If $postable_only is true then filter the results to only contain  subjects which have the "depositable" flag set to true.
+If $show_top_level is not true then the pair representing the current subject is not included at the start of the list.
+If $nest_ids is true then each then the ids retured are nested so that the ids of the children of this subject are prefixed with this  subjects id and a colon, and their children are prefixed by their  nested id and a colon. eg. L:LC:LC003 rather than just "LC003"
+if $no_nest_label is true then the subject label only contains the name of the subject, not the higher level ones.
+A default result from this method would look something like this:
+  [
      [ "D", "History" ],
      [ "D1", "History: History (General)" ],
      [ "D111", "History: History (General): Medieval History" ]
