[EP-tech] Autocompletion, external source: ROMEO

[George Mamalakis]

Hi everybody,

I'm almost done with my installation/configuration. These are my last 
questions, and once I'm through with them I'll finally air my EPrints 
installation!! :):)

My library staff asked me to use the ROMEO url lookup (by looking up its 
database). So, I tried to follow the specific wiki section of the 
autocompletion guide 
(http://wiki.eprints.org/w/Autocompletion#external_source), aaaaand...of 
course I didn't manage it :(.

I edited my field to call the new lookup function and added the new 
lookup function in my config. I don't seem to be getting any errors in 
my apache log files, and I can see with tcpdump that whenever the 
autocomplete ajax request is triggered, traffic from my machine to port 
80 of www.nottingham.ac.uk is generated (which probably implies that my 
queries are sent there via some service). Nonetheless, I don't seem to 
see any feedback in my field.

More specifically, my cfg/workflows/eprint/default.xml is as follows:

<component type="Field::Multi"><field ref="ml_title" required="yes" 
input_lookup_url="{$config{rel_cgipath}}/users/lookup/get_journals" 
input_lookup_params="id={eprintid}&amp;dataset=eprint&amp;field=ml_title"/></component> 


since I'm using a multilingual setup (so I'm using the ml_title field 
instead of the title field), and my 
~eprints/cgi/users/lookup/get_journals is exactly the one shown in the 
wiki page.

Any suggestions are more than welcome,

thanks all in advance,

George
