I happened to work on this today. I checked the file
ArchiveRenderConfig.pm, and to my understanding, the following part
is supposed to show the links to multile files associated with this
eprint
====================================================
# Available documents
  my @documents = $eprint->get_all_documents();

  $p = $session->make_element( "p" );
  $p->appendChild( $session->html_phrase( "page:fulltext" ) );
  foreach( @documents )
  {
    if( $_->get_value( "format" ) eq "coverimage" )
    {
      $imagetd->appendChild( $session->make_element(
        "img",
        align=>"left",
        src=>$_->get_url(),
        alt=>$_->get_value( "formatdesc" ) ) );
      next;
    }
    $p->appendChild( $session->make_element( "br" ) );
    $p->appendChild( $_->render_citation_link() );
  }
  $docstd->appendChild( $p );
========================================================
But it only shows one link. The array @documents only contains one element
though. I logged into the database, and selected docid from the document
table with the eprintid which has multiple files, but only got one docid.
Should there be multiple docids? Did I do something wrong?

Thanks!
