ORCID About page generated by ORCID Plugin

,

Describe the problem you would like to solve
When turned on, the ORCID plugin generates an uneditable static page that is linked in outbound emails to authors. This page includes at least one deadlink to an orcid.org page and an ORCID icon with an broken image link.

Describe the solution you’d like
It would be great if this page could be edited within the ORCID plugin settings.

Who is asking for this feature?
Journal editors, journal managers, administrators, and authors.

Hi @emolls,

Thanks very much for pointing this out. I wanted to let you know that we’re looking into getting this page updated and / or linking the email templates directly to a page on the ORCID website instead.

In the meantime, it is possible to update the contents of this page using the Custom Locale Plugin, in plugins/generic/orcidProfile/locale/en_US/locale.po.

I hope this helps, and thanks again for bringing this issue to our attention.
