Export Plugin Tutorial 3: HTML
In this tutorial we'll look at creating an export plugin with slightly more complex output than unformatted plain text. Although the plugin below produces XHTML the same principles apply to producing any XML document.
HelloHTML.pm
package EPrints::Plugin::Export::MyPlugins::HelloHTML;
@ISA = ("EPrints::Plugin::Export");
use strict;
sub new
{
my ($class, %opts) = @_;
my $self = $class->SUPER::new(%opts);
$self->{name} = "Hello, HTML!";
$self->{accept} = [ 'dataobj/eprint', 'list/eprint' ];
$self->{visible} = "all";
$self->{suffix} = ".htm";
$self->{mimetype} = "text/html; charset=utf-8";
return $self;
}
sub output_dataobj
{
my ($plugin, $dataobj) = @_;
my $xml = $plugin->xml_dataobj($dataobj);
return EPrints::XML::to_string($xml);
}
sub output_list
{
my ($plugin, %opts) = @_;
my $r = [];
my $header = "<html><head><title></title></head><body>";
if (defined $opts{"fh"})
{
print {$opts{"fh"}} $header;
}
else
{
push @{$r}, $header;
}
foreach my $dataobj ($opts{"list"}->get_records)
{
my $part = $plugin->output_dataobj($dataobj, %opts);
if (defined $opts{"fh"})
{
print {$opts{fh}} $part;
}
else
{
push @{$r}, $part;
}
}
my $footer = "</body></html>";
if (defined $opts{"fh"})
{
print {$opts{fh}} $footer;
}
else
{
push @{$r}, $footer;
}
if (defined $opts{"fh"})
{
return undef;
}
return join('', @{$r});
}
sub xml_dataobj
my ($plugin, $dataobj) = @_;
my $session = $plugin->{session};
my $div = $session->make_element("div");
my $title = $session->make_element("h2");
$title->appendChild($session->make_text($dataobj->get_value("title")));
$div->appendChild($title);
my $abstract = $session->make_element("p");
$abstract->appendChild($session->make_text($dataobj->get_value("abstract")));
$div->appendChild($abstract);
return $div;
}

In More Detail
Constructor
Here we change the file extension to ".htm" and change the MIME type to "text/html". For general XML documents you should change the file extension to ".xml" and the MIME type to "text/xml";
$self->{suffix} = ".htm";
$self->{mimetype} = "text/html; charset=utf-8";
output_dataobj
my $xml = $plugin->xml_dataobj($dataobj); return EPrints::XML::to_string($xml);
output_list
my $header = "<html><head><title></title></head><body>"; my $footer = "</body></html>";
xml_dataobj
sub xml_dataobj
my ($plugin, $dataobj) = @_;
my $session = $plugin->{session};
my $div = $session->make_element("div");
my $title = $session->make_element("h2");
$title->appendChild($session->make_text($dataobj->get_value("title")));
$div->appendChild($title);
my $abstract = $session->make_element("p");
$abstract->appendChild($session->make_text($dataobj->get_value("abstract")));
$div->appendChild($abstract);
return $div;
}
