[EP-tech] IRStats installation problem -- how to update eprint_render.pl to add IRStats summary graphs to item summary pages?

[Alex Birchall]

Hi,

I am using EPrints 3.2.8 (Apple Crumble).

In the installation instructions for IRStats, it says:

5 Integrating IRStats (optional)
----------------------------------

i) Add IRStats download graphs to individual item summary pages

Add the following to archives/ARCHIVEID/cfg/cfg.d/eprint_render.pl:

        if( !$preview )
        {
                # IRSTATS CODE STARTS HERE
                if ($session->get_repository->can_call('irstats_abstract_content'))
                {
                        $page->appendChild($session->get_repository->call('irstats_abstract_content', $session, $eprint));
                }
                # END IRSTATS
                $links->appendChild( $session->plugin( "Export::Simple" )->dataobj_to_html_header( $eprint ) );
                $links->appendChild( $session->plugin( "Export::DC" )->dataobj_to_html_header( $eprint ) );
        }

        return( $page, $title, $links );

To enable, run the following command and then restart apache:

 $ cd /opt/eprints3
 $ bin/epadmin refresh_abstracts ARCHIVEID
__
But the output from bin/epadmin refresh_abstracts ARCHIVEID is as follows:

eprints at zeprints:~/bin$ ./epadmin refresh_abstracts mdxrep1

Any suggestions on how to resolve this issue most gratefully received.

Thank you.
