NAME
EPrints::Apache::Template - Template Applying Module
SYNOPSIS
<?xml version="1.0" standalone="no"?> <!DOCTYPE html SYSTEM "entities.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xmlns:epc="http://eprints.org/ep3/control"> <head> <title><epc:pin ref="title" textonly="yes"/> - <epc:phrase ref="archive_name"/></title> ...
DESCRIPTION
When HTML pages are served by EPrints they are processed through a template written in XML. Most repositories will have two templates - F!default.xml! for HTTP and F!secure.xml! for HTTPS.
Templates are parsed at server start-up and any included phrases are replaced at that point. Because templates persist over the lifetime of a server you do not typically perform any logic within the template itself, instead use a pin generated via Custom Pins.
The page content is added to the template via <epc:pins>.
Custom Pins
In cfg.d/dynamic_template.pl:
$c->{dynamic_template}->{function} = sub {
my( $repo, $parts ) = @_;
$parts->{mypin} = $repo->xml->create_text_node( "Hello, World!" );
};
In archives/[archiveid]/cfg/templates/default.xml (copy from lib/templates/default.xml if not already exists):
<epc:pin ref="mypin" />
Or, for just the text content of a pin:
<epc:pin ref="mypin" textonly="yes" />
Default Pins
title
The title of the page.
page
The page content.
login_status_header
HTML <head> includes for the login status of the user - currently just some JavaScript variables.
head
Page-specific HTML <head> contents.
pagetop
(Unused?)
login_status
A menu containing EPrints::Plugin::Screens that appear in key_tools. The content from each plugin's render_action_link is rendered as a HTML <ul> list.
Historically this was the login/logout links plus key_tools but since 3.3 login/logout are Screen plugins as well.
languages
The render_action_link from EPrints::Plugin::Screen::SetLang.
SEE ALSO
The directories scanned for template sources are in EPrints::Repository/template_dirs.
