NAME
EPrints::DataObj::EPrint - Class representing an actual EPrint
DESCRIPTION
This class represents a single eprint record and the metadata associated with it. This is associated with one of more EPrint::Document objects.
EPrints::DataObj::EPrint is a subclass of EPrints::DataObj with the following metadata fields (plus those defined in ArchiveMetadataFieldsConfig):
SYSTEM METADATA
eprintid (int)
The unique numerical ID of this eprint.
rev_number (int)
The number of the current revision of this record.
userid (itemref)
The id of the user who deposited this eprint (if any). Scripted importing could cause this not to be set.
dir (text)
The directory, relative to the documents directory for this repository, which this eprints data is stored in. Eg. disk0/00/00/03/34 for record 334.
datestamp (time)
The date this record first appeared live in the repository.
lastmod (time)
The date this record was last modified.
status_changes (time)
The date/time this record was moved between inbox, buffer, archive, etc.
type (namedset)
The type of this record, one of the types of the "eprint" dataset.
succeeds (itemref)
The ID of the eprint (if any) which this succeeds. This field should have been an int and may be changed in a later upgrade.
commentary (itemref)
The ID of the eprint (if any) which this eprint is a commentary on. This field should have been an int and may be changed in a later upgrade.
replacedby (itemref)
The ID of the eprint (if any) which has replaced this eprint. This is only set on records in the "deletion" dataset. This field should have been an int and may be changed in a later upgrade.
METHODS
get_system_field_info
$metadata = EPrints::DataObj::EPrint->get_system_field_info
Return an array describing the system metadata of the EPrint dataset.
set_item_issues
$eprint->set_item_issues( $new_issues )
This method updates the issues attached 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.
fileinfo
$eprint->fileinfo()
The special fileinfo field contains the icon URL and main-file URL 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
These URLs are relative to the current repository base path ('http_url').
get_dataset_id
$dataset = EPrints::DataObj::EPrint->get_dataset_id
Returns the id of the EPrints::DataSet object to which this record belongs.
get_dataset
$dataset = $eprint->get_dataset
Return the dataset to which this object belongs. This will return one of the virtual datasets: inbox, buffer, archive or deletion.
get_defaults
$defaults = EPrints::DataObj::EPrint->get_defaults( $session, $data )
Return default values for this object based on the starting data.
clone
$eprint = $eprint->clone( $dest_dataset, $copy_documents, $link )
Create a copy of this EPrint with a new ID in the given dataset. Return 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.
log_mail_owner
$eprint->log_mail_owner( $mail )
Log that the given mail message was send to the owner of this EPrint.
$mail is the same XHTML DOM that was sent as the email.
get_editorial_contact
$user = $eprint->get_editorial_contact
Return the user identified as the editorial contact for this item.
By default returns undef.
nb. This has nothing to do with the editor defined in the metadata
remove
$success = $eprint->remove
Erase this eprint and any associated records from the database and filesystem.
This should only be called on eprints in "inbox" or "buffer".
commit
$success = $eprint->commit( [$force] );
Commit any changes that might have been made to the database.
If the item has not be changed then this function does nothing unless $force is true.
Calls /set_eprint_automatic_fields just before the $eprint is committed.
write_revision
$eprint->write_revision
Write out a snapshot of the XML describing the current state of the eprint.
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.
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 dodgey data imported from legacy systems.
prune_documents
$eprint->prune_documents
Remove any documents associated with this eprint which don't actually have any files.
get_all_documents
@documents = $eprint->get_all_documents
Return an array of all EPrint::Document objects associated with this eprint.
required_formats
@formats = $eprint->required_formats
Return a list of the required formats for this eprint. Only one of the required formats is required, not all.
An empty list means no format is required.
move_to_deletion
$success = $eprint->move_to_deletion
Transfer the EPrint into the "deletion" dataset. Should only be called in eprints in the "archive" dataset.
move_to_inbox
$success = $eprint->move_to_inbox
Transfer the EPrint into the "inbox" dataset. Should only be called in eprints in the "buffer" dataset.
move_to_buffer
$success = $eprint->move_to_buffer
Transfer the EPrint into the "buffer" dataset. Should only be called in eprints in the "inbox" or "archive" dataset.
move_to_archive
$success = $eprint->move_to_archive
Move this eprint into the main "archive" dataset. Normally only called on eprints in "deletion" or "buffer" datasets.
local_path
$path = $eprint->local_path
Return the full path of the EPrint directory on the local filesystem. No trailing slash.
url_stem
$url = $eprint->url_stem
Return the URL to this EPrint's directory. Note, this INCLUDES the trailing slash, unlike the local_path method.
generate_static
$eprint->generate_static
Generate the static version of the abstract web page. In a multi-language repository this will generate one version per language.
If called on inbox or buffer, remove the abstract page.
$eprint->generate_static_all_related
Generate the static pages for this eprint plus any it's related to, by succession or commentary.
remove_static
$eprint->remove_static
Remove the static web page or pages.
render
( $description, $title, $links ) = $eprint->render

The 3 returned values are references to XHTML DOM objects. $description is the public viewable description of this eprint that appears as the body of the abstract page. $title is the title of the abstract page for this eprint. $links is any elements which should go in the <head> of this page.
Calls /eprint_render to actually render the $eprint, if it isn't deleted.
render_history
( $html ) = $eprint->render_history
Render the history of this eprint as XHTML DOM.
get_control_url
$url = $eprint->get_control_url
