[EP-tech] Re: Containers

[Peter West]

Hi
if you are referring to the Containers bazaar package then you could 
achieve what you want by creating a new screen plugin based on the 
Screen::NewContainer.pm plugin. The action_create subroutine could then 
be modified to create the container and the required child containers in 
one action. (You can then set the "parentid" field of the child 
containers you create).

You do not need to modify the bazaar package (unless you want to) as you 
can place your new plugin in your local config i.e.
.../archives/<repo>/cfg/plugins/EPrints/Plugin/Screen/MyNewContainer.pm

n.b. in the new plugin keep the "appears" details the same with the 
exception of the "position" which you can use to place your new button 
before or after the original one.

Once you have added the appropriate phrases you will have a "new 
container" and a "new magazine" button.

Hope that helps

Peter
