Hi David,

Thanks for the prompt reply. I wasn’t expecting anything due to TZ differences 😊

Its likely the version we are using… it’s been in place for a couple of years, and ‘slightly’ modified to suit our Author subsystem implementation…

I had gone wandering through the code, but couldn’t see for looking…

Cheers,

Matt.

Hi Matt,

I have just reviewed the code and it looks like in older versions of the ORCID Support Advance (version 1.5 and earlier) it only imports creators who have an ORCID ID set for them in the "work" item in ORCID imported from the importing user's set of works.  I am not sure what the logic was behind this choice, as I was not involved in the development of these plugins.  The code where these logic is applied can be found in lib/plugins/EPrints/Plugin/Screen/ImportFromOrcid.pm. The line you are looking for is:

if( defined( $contributor->{"contributor-orcid"} ) )

I have taken a quick look at the GitHub issues for this Git repository and found this particular issue:

https://github.com/eprints/orcid_support_advance/issues/27

The patch this discusses looks to have been merged into the master branch in February 2020.  The latest version (1.7) of the ORCID Support Advance plugin (http://bazaar.eprints.org/1155/) looks to be from January 2021 and has this patch, as does the version from February 2020 (1.5.1, http://bazaar.eprints.org/1138/).  If you have a version of ORCID Support Advance earlier than 1.5.1, that would explain why this is not working.  Also, sometimes if you modify files for Bazaar plugins and then upgrade the plugin, the modified files will not necessarily be updated.  So even if you are running one of these two recent versions, it is worth checking to see if ImportFromOrcid.pm contains the fix from this patch.  Like above, look for the line:

if( defined( $contributor->{"contributor-orcid"} ) )

and check that there is a block after this that deals with just adding the creators name, even if there is no ORCID ID sent through from ORCID for a contributor.

Hi All,

 

We have the ORCID plugins (ORCID Support and ORCID Support Advance) up and running,

Linking users to ORCID, obtaining their ID’s and exporting records out to ORCID all working, however…

When importing from ORCID into ePrints, the metadata comes in as expected, but the process only creates a single eprint_creator record (which links to the ORCID user performing the import), even though there may be multiple authors in the ORCID record, and the user may/may not be the first author in the publication.

 

Has anyone seen this behaviour?

 

Thanks for any help / advice.

 

Matt.
