[EP-tech] Re: Creating new citation formats....

[Ian Stuart]

I cheated :)

In
     <PATH_TO_ARCHIVE_ID>/cfg/plugins/EPrints/Plugin/Export/MyExporter.pm

sub output_dataobj {
   my ( $plugin, $dataobj ) = @_;

   my $exporter = 'Text';

   my $session = $plugin->{session};
   my $link;
   my $cite = $dataobj->render_citation('myCitation');
   my $text = EPrints::Utils::tree_to_utf8($cite) . "\n";

   $text .= $dataobj->get_url() . "\n";

   my @plugins = $session->plugin_list(
     type          => "Export",
     can_accept    => "dataobj/eprint",
     is_advertised => 1,
     is_visible    => "all"
   );
   if ( scalar @plugins > 0 ) {
     foreach my $plugin_id (@plugins) {
       $plugin_id =~ m/^[^:]+::(.*)$/;
       my $id = $1;
       next unless $id eq $exporter;
       my $plugin = $session->plugin($plugin_id);
       $link = $plugin->dataobj_export_url($dataobj);
       $text .= $link;
     } ## end foreach my $plugin_id (@plugins)
   } ## end if ( scalar @plugins >...)

   $text .= "\n\n";
   return $text;
} ## end sub output_dataobj
