Re: Basic setup and use of Generic Sources
The plugins that Helen refers to were written before FH V7 and they use an earlier 'template' concept. It would be confusing to continue to use the word 'template' in the context of Source records in FH V7 where the Source Templates are a rather different animal. It would be confusing to completely...

Re: Basic setup and use of Generic Sources
Helen; Thank you for the suggestion. I'm using v7 of FH, so I'll have to wait until you do the upgrade to fully assess the situation and see how to proceed. I had a quick look at the features of the plugin, as well as the code. The code somehow looks familiar to me. I've programmed in many language...

Re: Basic setup and use of Generic Sources
There's a plugin which may be of interest: Add Source from Template (V6 and below).
I'm currenly working on a V7 version which will be called Add Generic Source from Template.

Re: Forcing rollback of changes
More seriously, shouldn't a plugin test for 'foreseeable' errors before it starts committing changes? Get all its ducks in a line first, so to speak -- and (as Jane suggests) report expected errors meaningfully :) There'll always be the risk of unforeseeable errors but in practice, isn't that what t...

Re: Essential source templates not to standard?
P.S. I think this discussion illustrates why the Essentials templates are NOT pure Strathclyde, but templates that can be understood by beginners without venturing into the niceties (if that's the word) of template construction.

Thank you for your reply. I feel as if I have ruffled a few feathers. I haven't any feathers to ruffle :) Yes, the Advanced Templates are a step too far for many people.

I have moved this to the Sources, Citations and Repositories sub-forum where it belongs best. I would not expect CP to update the templates, as that would affect users already using them happily.

Change citation template for an existing source (20337) may help, or Mike may have a better idea.

BTW: Once you create a Query it is immediately saved. You would have to specifically delete it.
You can use any existing Query to interrogate the Fields DRA without affecting the Query.
