Is there a way to add a copyright notice to each entry? This is important when offering the PDF where the copyright has been transferred to a publisher (ACM, IEEE, etc.). Each of them have their own specific blurb you need to show together with the self-archived file to be compliant with their copyright. But I couldn't find a "copyright" biblio field.

Ideally, it would be displayed next to the file download, wherever the attached file is displayed for downloading (full node view, list view, etc.).

I found #340174: Add copyright notice at the end of Publications page with a similar request, but this one seems to ask for a single notice for all entries, rather than a custom one for each entry, which is what I'm after.

Update: to be a bit more precise, what I need to achieve is to annotate each biblio download with the information as provided by SHERPA/RoMEO (see http://www.sherpa.ac.uk/romeo/).

For example, to offer download of an article published in "IET Software" (as biblio attachement) I need to follow these:

General Conditions:

  • Pre-print to be removed on publication
  • On a non-profit server
  • Set phrase to accompany pre-print (see link below)
  • On author or institutional server only
  • Publisher copyright and source must be acknowledged
  • Must link to publisher version
  • Publisher's version/PDF cannot be used
  • See link below for details
  • If funding rules apply authors may post author version in designated repository

I wonder if you could have an intermediate page which would contain the copyright and be displayed when the user clicks the download link, then off this page there would be a link to the actual download. When creating the node, you could select from a list of "Copyright" notices to be displayed.

How does that sound?

Yes, a "click-through" page that first shows the copyright and the download link would work, but it seems somewhat complicated to implement, no?

I've been experimenting with Biblio's customization features, adding "Copyright" as a common (custom1) field to all publications. That works insofar as I can enter pretty much anything into the field (just not a direct hyperlink to the publisher, it seems) and it is shown on the node (table view) together with the download link.

The problem is that this field isn't shown in the list view, where the download is also linked. I've tried using the "Annotation" (under Styling) but then it is displayed as a separate line, which clutters up the list view. Is there an easy way to have it displayed in the same way as "Abstract", with a link to the node? Alternatively, if the download link would only be available on the node view, not in the list view, this would work as well, but there doesn't seem to be an option to turn it off (I'm using the IEEE style)

If you just want the download links in the tabular view, then you can achieve that by going to the 'admin/user/permissions' page and turning off 'show download links' in the "Biblio Module" section and turning on 'view uploaded files' in the Upload Module section (all for the appropriate "User Roles" of course).

Ah, thanks, yes that works.

However, this way there is no indication on the list view that the paper is actually available for download -- the user has to click on the title, which is not so obvious (since clicking on e.g. the authors or links has other effects).

Having a little download icon (that goes to the node view) or a "Download" label (like the "Abstract" link) would help from a UI perspective. Any ideas?

OK, if you don't mind making a little change in the code, you could edit the file biblio_theme.inc and change the theme_biblio_download_links function and change line 835 as shown below... This will change the link on the file name to point to the tabular view of the node rather than the file itself.

function theme_biblio_download_links($node = NULL) {
  $files = '';
  if (!empty ($node->files) && count($node->files) > 0 && user_access('view uploaded files')) {
    $files .= '<span class="biblio_file_links">';
    $files .= '&nbsp;'. t('Download') .':&nbsp;';
    $file_count = 0;
    foreach ($node->files as $file) {
      if ($file->list) {
        $file_count++;
        $href = 'biblio/view/'.$node->nid;      // <=======================  THIS LINE (835) CHANGES
        $text = $file->description ? $file->description : $file->filename;
        $files .= l($text, $href) .'&nbsp;('. format_size($file->filesize).')';
      }
    }
    $files .= '</span>';
  }
  if (module_exists('filefield')) { // now lets get any CCK FileField files...
    $fields = filefield_get_field_list('biblio');
    foreach ($fields as $field_name => $field) {
      if (filefield_view_access($field_name, $node)) {
        $field_files = filefield_get_node_files($node, $field_name);
        if ($field_files) {
          foreach ($field_files as $file) {
            if ($file['fid']) {
              $files .= theme('filefield_file', $file);
            }
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }

  return $files;
}

Thanks, that works fine. I suppose for my use case that's good enough; unless more people want a more sophisticated copyright management added to Biblio I guess it doesn't make sense to add more features for this. Perhaps a "low-cost" feature for future releases could be a check-box option to show the download file directly (as in the current original version), or a download icon that links to the full node.

Thanks again!

Yes, that's what I was thinking (yet another configurable option... :-)

Hello everyone,

A question related to this. I am not trying to add a copyright notice to the module, but because of copyright issues, I would like to make it impossible for our users to upload any attachments to the biblio pages. They sometimes upload pdfs of the journal articles, and we are worried about legal concerns.
I have tried to find where I can do this, but I'm relatively new to Drupal, so I'm a bit lost. Has anyone done this before, and how do I do it? We have Drupal 6.17, and Biblio 6.x-1.13.
If I should post this question somewhere else, or if there is any other problem, just let me know, I'm new here...

Thanks,
Thea

Uploads (attachments) are handled by other modules. By default the core "Upload" module would be used, so you would have to set the permissions on that module to restrict who can upload files.
