DESCRIPTION

This class represents a single eprint record and the metadata associated with it. This is associated with one of more EPrint::DataObj::Document objects.

This class is has the following core metadata fields.

User Comments

CORE METADATA FIELDS

eprintid (int)

The unique numerical ID of this eprint.

User Comments

rev_number (int)

The number of the current revision of this record.

User Comments

eprint_status (set)

The current status of the eprint record. By default this must be one of: inbox, buffer, archive, deleted.

User Comments

source (text)

Stores an identifier for the source of this record. Rarely used.

User Comments

dir (text)

The directory, relative to the documents directory for this repository, which this eprints data is stored in. E.g. disk0/00/00/03/34 for record 334. This cannot be cloned or imported.

User Comments

lastmod (time)

User Comments

metadata_visibility (set)

This field is automatically set.

Stores a serialisation of the files including paths associated with the record.

User Comments

item_issues (compound, multiple)

User Comments

INSTANCE VARIABLES

Also see EPrints::DataObj.

User Comments

$self->{user}

The user who is owner of this eprint data object.

User Comments

METHODS

User Comments

Constructor Methods

User Comments

create

$eprint = EPrints::DataObj::EPrint->create( $session, $dataset, $data )

Create a new EPrint entry in the given $dataset..

If $data is defined, then this is used as the base for the new record. Otherwise the repository specific defaults provided by

set_eprint_defaults are used.

The fields eprintid and dir will be overridden even if they are set.

User Comments

create_from_data

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

Create a new object of this type in the database.

$dataset is the dataset it will belong to.

$data is the data structured as with EPrints::DataObj#new_from_data.

This will also create sub-objects also.

User Comments

Class Methods

User Comments

get_system_field_info

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

Return an array describing the system metadata of the eprint dataset.

User Comments

get_dataset_id

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

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

User Comments

get_defaults

$defaults = EPrints::DataObj::EPrint->get_defaults( $class, $session, $data, $dataset )

Returns default values for this data object based on the starting $data.

User Comments

Object Methods

User Comments

set_item_issues

$eprint->set_item_issues( $new_issues )

This method updates the issues associated to this eprint based on the $new_issues passed.

If an existing issue is set as discovered and doesn't exist in $new_issues its status will be updated to autoresolved, otherwise the old issue's status and description are updated.

Any issues in $new_issues that don't already exist will be appended.

User Comments

fileinfo

$fileinfo = $eprint->fileinfo

The special fileinfo field contains the icon and main file paths and filenames for each non-volatile document in the eprint. This is a performance tweak to avoid having to retrieve documents when rendering eprint citations.

Example:

/style/images/fileicons/application_pdf.png;/20/1/paper.pdf|/20/4.hassmallThumbnailVersion/tdb_portrait.jpg;/20/4/tdb_portrait.jpg

User Comments

update_triggers

$eprint->update_triggers

Update all the stuff that needs updating before an eprint data object is written to the database.

User Comments

get_dataset

$dataset = $eprint->get_dataset

Returns the dataset to which this object belongs. This will return one of the virtual datasets, by default: inbox, buffer, archive or deletion.

User Comments

store_path

$path = $eprint->store_path

Get the storage path for this eprint data object.

User Comments

clone

$eprint = $eprint->clone( $dest_dataset, $copy_documents, $link )

Create a copy of this eprint data object with a new ID in the given $dest_dataset.

Returns the new eprint, or undef in the case of an error.

If $copy_documents is set and true then the documents (and files) will be copied in addition to the metadata.

If $nolink is true then the new eprint is not connected to the old one by not setting the new eprint's succeeds field.

User Comments

log_mail_owner

$eprint->log_mail_owner( $mail )

Log that the given $mail message was sent to the owner of this eprint data object.

$mail is the same XHTML DOM that was sent as the email.

User Comments

get_editorial_contact

$user = $eprint->get_editorial_contact

Returns the user identified as the editorial contact for this item.

By default returns undef.

N.B. This does no relate to any editors defined in the metadata for this eprint data object.

User Comments

empty

$eprint->empty( [ $clear_all ] )

Remove all documents and set to empty (almost) all fields.

If $clear_all also unset rev_number, metadata_visibility, and eprint_status fields.

User Comments

remove

$success = $eprint->remove

Erase this eprint data object and any associated data objects from the database and filesystem.

This should only be called on eprints in inbox or buffer.

User Comments

commit

$success = $eprint->commit( [ $force ] );

Commit any changes to the database.

Calls update_triggers just before the database is updated.

The actions this method does are dependent on some object attributes:

 changed - hash of changed fields (from EPrints::DataObj)
 non_volatile_change - boolean (from EPrints::DataObj)
 under_construction - boolean

If datestamp is unset and this eprint is in the archive dataset datestamp will always be set which will in turn set datestamp as changed.

If no field values were changed and $force is false returns.

If under_construction is false:

- static files updated

If non_volatile_change is true:

- lastmod field updated
- triples update queued

If under_construction is false and non_volatile_change is true:

- revision generated

The goal of these controls is to only trigger expensive processes in response to user actions. Revisions need to be generated when the user changes metadata or uploads new files (see EPrints::DataObj::Document#commit).

User Comments

save_revision

$eprint->save_revision( %opts )

Increase the eprint revision number and save a complete copy of the record into the history (see EPrints::DataObj::History).

Options:

 user - user that caused the action to occur, defaults to current user
 action - see history.action, defaults to "modify"
 details - see history.details, defaults to a description of changed fields

User Comments

validate

$problems = $eprint->validate( [$for_archive], $workflow_id )

Return a reference to an array of XHTML DOM objects describing validation problems with the entire eprint based on $workflow_id.

If $workflow_id is undefined defaults to default.

A reference to an empty array indicates no problems.

Calls validate_eprint for the $eprint.

User Comments

skip_validation

$boolean = $eprint->skip_validation

Returns true if this eprint should pass validation without being properly validated. This is to allow the use of dodgy data imported from legacy systems.

User Comments

prune_documents

$eprint->prune_documents

User Comments

get_all_documents

@documents = $eprint->get_all_documents

User Comments

move_to_archive

N.B. This includes the trailing slash, unlike the local_path method.

User Comments

generate_static

$eprint->generate_static

If called on eprints in the inbox or buffer, remove the abstract/summary page.

User Comments
