I meant "Thanks A<b>l</b>an", but my hand must have been set on
the automatic pilot...:). <br>
<br>
So, yeah, thanks Alan again (and Adam for the video :)), I
followed the very easy step shown on the video and it worked like
a charm. It was much easier than I expected (I thought I had to
change the body of the file, like it was implied in EPrints
documentation). <br>
<br>
Now, is there also an idea on how to put my new field as a column
in the search results list?<br>
<br>
And taking advantage of this misunderstanding (wiki vs video), I
don't know about the rest of you guys, but I have to declare that
EPrints documentation (especially the wiki) needs a lot of
cleaning, because much of available information is way outdated,
and misleading, and people can get easily confused and
discouraged. To my idea, such information has either to be
removed, or has to explicitly state at the beginning that "the
following directions DO NOT work for EPrints version > x.x.x".
I know it's not easy, but something should be done.<br>
<br>
I haven't worked with a public wiki before, but if it is easy to
do, just say so, and I'll open an account, in order to edit the
wiki-page and prompt for newer guidelines (eg. videos or mails of
this list through the mailing list archive) whenever I find
information mismatch.<br>
<br>
Thanks all for the prompt and accurate help once again,<br>
<br>
George.<br>

<pre>Hi George,
Try following this training video <a href="http://wiki.eprints.org/w/Training_Video:Add_A_Field">http://wiki.eprints.org/w/Training_Video:Add_A_Field</a> - around 9 minutes in Adam goes through adding the field to the abstract page (<a href="http://yourrepodomain/[0-9]+">http://yourrepodomain/[0-9]+</a>) . That should help with your main requirement.
Alan

Subject: [EP-tech] Adding a custom field in abstract (I think :))
Hi all,
I've added a custom field in my repository (collections - and, yes, in my context I preferred it over the shelves plugin). I've added this field in my custom advanced search form, and now, I want this field to be shown in the details of an eprint, once the eprint is selected after the search is performed (the items with the url pattern:
<a href="http://yourrepodomain/[0-9]+">http://yourrepodomain/[0-9]+</a>).
I would also like to know how I could add it as a column in the search results as well, but this is more optional.
In case I had to customise the abstract to achieve my goal (because this is where I thought that this view was generated), I tried reading cfg.d/eprint_render.pl, but couldn't understand what to do, and the wiki
(<a href="http://wiki.eprints.org/w/HOW_TO:_Add_a_New_Field">http://wiki.eprints.org/w/HOW_TO:_Add_a_New_Field</a>) was far outdated, at least compared to my version (3.3.14). I also tried the ./cfg/citations/eprint/summary_page.xml (which was proposed by eprint_render.pl's comments), but I didn't seem to find where to start from there either.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks all in advance,
George.
PS. There, there Adam, maybe that's another idea for a video? :):):-P.
