RE: [EP-underground] changing the way multiple authors is displayed in a citation.

Thank you for answering this but would this apply to lists of authors?

For example the first author in a list of three would be displayed
"lastname, firstname middle honorific"

But then my boss wanted the second displayed

"firstname middlename lastname honorific" separated from the second and
third by a comma.

OK. The way any field is rendered in the citation can be modified
properly
by adding a render_value option to the field's configuration. This is a 
pointer to a function. The function below is just an example, change it
to do what you want. This is much better than hacking the code as it
avoids oddness in upgrades.

Something like
{ name=>"authors", type=>"name", render_value=>\&local_name_render, ...
...}

then later in ArchiveMetadataFieldsConfig...


sub local_name_render
{
	my( $session, $field, $value, $alllangs, $nolink ) = @_;
	# the important bit's are $session and $value

	my $f = $session->make_doc_fragment;
        my $first = 1;
        foreach my $auth ( @{$value} )
        {
                my $id = $auth->{id};
                my $name = $auth->{main};
		# only care about the name 
		my $namestr = $name->{given}." ".$name->{family};
		# (ignoring honourific and lineage)

                if( !$first )
                {
                        $f->appendChild( $session->make_text( " and "
));
                }
                $first = 0;
                $f->appendChild( $session->make_text( $namestr ) );
        }

        return $f;
}
