NAME
EPrints::DataObj::Document - A single format of a record.
DESCRIPTION
Document represents a single format of an EPrint (eg. PDF) - the actual file(s) rather than the metadata.
CORE METADATA FIELDS
docid (int)
The unique ID of the document.
rev_number (int)
The revision number of this document record.
pos (int)
The position of the document record within those associated with the eprint.
placement (int)
Placement of the document - the order documents in which should be shown. This may be different to pos, as the ultimate_doc_pos may lead to a different ordering.
format (namedset)
The format of this document. One of the types of the namedset c<document>.
formatdesc (text)
An additional description of this document. For example the specific version of a format.
language (namedset)
The ISO 639-1 cod of the language of this document. The default configuration of EPrints does not set this.
security (namedset)
The security type of this document - who can view it. One of the types of the namedset security.
license (namedset)
The license applied of this document - who can view it. One of the types of the namedset license.
main (text)
The file which we should link to. For something like a PDF file this is the only file. For an HTML document with images it would be the name of the actual HTML file.
date_embargo (date)
The date until which the document has restricted access (set by security). At which point the embargo is lifted and security is set to public and this field set back to undef.
Requires bin/lift_embargos script to be deployed as a cron job.
date_embargo_retained (date)
The retained date of any embargo originally placed on this document. This is updated when a user modifies date_embargo but is not unset by the bin/lift_embargos script.
media (compound)
A compound field containing a description of the document media - dimensions, codec etc.
REFERENCES AND RELATED OBJECTS
eprintid (itemref)
The ID number of the eprint to which this document belongs.
files (subobject, multiple)
A virtual field which represents the list of files which are part of this record.
relation (relation, multiple)
Predicated relationships between this document and other data objects within the archive.
METHODS
get_system_field_info

create_from_data
$dataobj = EPrints::DataObj::Document->create_from_data( $session, $data, $dataset )
Create document data object from $data provided.
Returns undef if a bad (or no) eprintid specified in $data.

path
$path = $doc->path
Returns the relative path to the document without specifying any file.
file_path
$path = $doc->file_path( [ $file ] )

This is an efficient shortcut to this:
my $file = $doc->stored_file( $filename ); my $path = $file->path;
get_url
$url = $doc->get_url( [ $file ] )
Returns the full URL of the document.
If $file is not specified then the main file is used.

DEPRECATED.
Returns the full path of the directory where this document is stored in the filesystem.
files
%files = $doc->files

Alias for:
$doc->set_value( "format" , $format );
set_format_desc
$doc->set_format_desc( $format_desc )

Alias for:
$doc->set_value( "format_desc" , $format_desc );
upload
$success = $doc->upload( $filehandle, $filename, [ $preserve_path, $filesize ] )
DEPRECATED - Use add_file, which will automatically identify the file type.
Upload the contents of the given $filehandle into this document as the given $filename.
If $preserve_path then make any subdirectories needed, otherwise place this in the top level directory.
add_file
$fileobj = $doc->add_file( $file, $filename, [ $preserve_path ] )
$file is the full path to a file to be added to the document, with name $filename. $filename is passed through EPrints::System#sanitise before being written.
If $preserve_path is true then include path components in $filename.
Returns the file object if successfully created or undef on failure.
sanitise
$cleanfilename = sanitise( $filename )
DEPRECATED - use EPrints::System#sanitise.
Sanitises filename by replacing invalid characters.
upload_archive
$success = $doc->upload_archive( $filehandle, $filename, $archive_format )

Upload the file contents provided through $filehandle using the filename from $filename. How to deal with the specified $archive_format (e.g. .zip, .tar.gz) is configured in EPrints::SystemSettings.
add_archive
$success = $doc->add_archive( $file, $archive_format )
Adds the contents of that archive $file to the document, where $archive_format is the format of the archive file (e.g. .zip, .tar.gz, etc.)
Returns a boolean dependent on whether the contents of the archive file is added to the document's subdirectory on the filesystem.
add_directory
$success = $doc->add_directory( $directory )
Upload the contents of $directory to this document. This will not set the document's main field.
This method expects $directory to have a trailing slash /.
Returns boolean depending on success of adding directory to document.
upload_url
$success = $doc->upload_url( $url )
Attempts to grab files from the given $url over HTTP. Grabbing files this way is always problematic. Therefore, by default, only relative links will be followed and only links to files in the same directory or subdirectory will be followed.
This method by default uses wget. However, you can modify this in EPrints::SystemSettings.
Returns a boolean dependent of whether file(s) were successfully uploaded.
commit
$success = $doc->commit( [ $force ] )
Commit any changes that have been made to this data object to the database.
Calls set_document_automatic_fields in the archive's configuration first to set any automatic fields that may be needed.
If $force is defined and true then still commit even if there are no non-volatile changes.
Returns boolean depending on whether commit of document data object is successful.

$type = $doc->get_type
Returns the type of this document.
Alias for:
$doc->value( "format" );
queue_files_modified
$doc->queue_files_modified

files_modified
$doc->files_modified
This method does all the things that need doing when a file has been modified.
rehash

This will not update the $tgt data object even if reflexive relations exist.
remove_relation
$doc->remove_relation( $tgt, [ @types ] )
Removes the relations for the document data object to the $tgt data object. If @types is not defined, remove all relations to $tgt. If $tgt is also undefined removes all relations given in @types.

$doc->set_value( "relation", [] );
has_relation
$bool = $doc->has_relation( $tgt, [ @types ] )
Returns true if document data object has relations to $tgt. If @types is also given, check these relations satisfy all of the given types. If $tgt is undefined, relations that satisfy the given types may be to any data object.
