WP8: Export affiliation start date #18

Closed wfyson closed 5 years ago

wfyson commented 6 years ago

When adding an affiliation to orcid.org profile include a start date will be required. EPrints does not store this by default, so use user creation date by default.

If desired we could also provide a small code snippet to add the user's department to the affiliation. (By simply reading it via $user->get_value( "dept" ))

Both the start date and the user's department will become mandatory for the ORCID API 3.0.

For the start date, there is the problem that this cannot be correct for all users who are longer at the affiliation than EPrints is running. We could also ask the user before this info is written, i.e. in the step when the user connect his/her ORCID iD. Here is a mockup for that:

At present the plugin doesn't add employment if the institution's record is already in the ORCID profile - rather than not add employment in these instances, we should look into adding the repository as the preferred source of this information instead.

According to Paula from ORCID affiliation start date will not be mandatory for api v3.0 :)
