EdShareCollectionsInstallation

Introduction

The collections module is part of OneShare. It is based on code developed in EdShare and OneBox. The goal of this project is to produce a package that allows the easy installation of the collections functionality on a vanilla EPrints installation.

Files

• archives/ARCHIVE_ID/cfg/plugins/EPrints/Plugin/Collection.pm - This is the main extension of EPrints::DataObj::EPrint to make a collection object.
• perl_lib/EPrints/Plugin/InputForm/Component/Field/CollectionSelect.pm - This is the input form component that is used to populate a collection. This should perhaps be moved into the archive directory and symbolically linked into the perl_lib directory, this prevents requiring any major changes to the EPrints core.

Packaging Notes

Please take note of the following notes when moving from the original collections module to the repackaged version.

• EPrints::Plugin::InputForm::Component::Field::CollectionSelect
  • get_state_params_OLD has been removed from this version.
