PDF template #554

Open fred-atherden opened 4 years ago

fred-atherden commented 4 years ago

Feature content has various different PDF templates. This is specified in the XML. There's a use-case for changing this template if our vendor has erroneously used the incorrect one.

XML requirements

This information is captured in a <custom-meta> element:

<custom-meta specific-use="meta-only">
<meta-name>Template</meta-name>
<meta-value>1</meta-value>
</custom-meta>

The value a production staff will need to change would be the content of the <meta-value>1</meta-value> element.

@FAtherden-eLife in the article info section of editor there is an article type option. I always imagined that the pdf template used has a relationship with the article choice.

fred-atherden commented 4 years ago

@NickDuf, it does and it doesn't. Editorials and Insight articles each have their own template. But there are 3 different templates for Feature articles. We also need to discuss with Exeter what determines which PDF template is used when we begin discussing integration with them. If it's this XML snippet:

<custom-meta specific-use="meta-only">
<meta-name>Template</meta-name>
<meta-value>1</meta-value>
</custom-meta>

Then it's also possible that an article (such as an Insight) could be provided with the incorrect template anyway, and in that case it would be good to be able to correct this in Editor.

@FAtherden-eLife I wasn't aware of the extra layer of complexity. If you expect to control these options through the interface let me know.

Thanks - will do. I think it's worth confirming with Exeter before we get you working on designs. This can wait until Post-MVP I think anyway.

Thanks
