ORCID id field hangs in article metadata (edit contributor)

Hi @latha_ojs,

I’ve just done a test of editing an author to add an ORCID using OJS 3.1.1-4, and it seems to work fine for me. Just reviewing your previous posts, it looks like there is something unusual about your client ID – it doesn’t look like mine does.

First up, please make sure you re-generate whatever this is – it’s probably not safe to post it on a public forum like this!

Second, see if that’s actually a client ID. I get mine by going to “Developer Tools” on the ORCID website, and getting it from “Member API Applications”:

I’ve obviously blacked out anything identifying, but the format of a client ID should be four sets of digits separated by dashes.

According to orcid support my credentials are right but the link goes to sandbox. I don’t know where to change that?

API credentials issued after December 1, 2014 begin with the characters “APP-” and are alpha-numeric. Earlier version of client credentials had the same format as ORCID iDs (sixteen digits). Both formats behave the same way, though our documentation primarily uses the newer APP- format in examples.

Hi @latha_ojs,

I wonder whether you have a permissions problem in cache/. The settings form you have pictured above specifies the public API (not the sandbox), but you report that the link goes to the sandbox. A cache file that OJS isn’t able to clear could cause this.

I cleared all the cache files but still it is not working.

Hi @latha_ojs,

Hmm, I’m afraid I’m running out of suggestions; my local test works fine. I can see two options: one is to use error_log statements in the ORCID plugin to try to capture exactly what’s happening, but that’ll require some programming expertise. The other would be to upgrade to the latest release of OJS, which has some new ORCID features and may work better.

Hi @asmecher and @latha_ojs
I think we have a similar problem. CReo that we have incorrectly configured URI and the users of ORCID gives them the following error.
1561962408493blob
We understand that we have to make the mistake. We have committed to indicate the URI, since we have put https://pub.orcid.org/ v2.0 / Now we have changed it by https://veredes.es/ as they indicate in the thread Configuration API of ORCID - URL of redirect - Question
But if the question arises about what URL http: // veredes. is / vad / index.php / vad
Sin-t%C3%ADtulo-1
On the other hand reading the instructions Register a public API client application – ORCID
does not just clarify the explanation they give, since you are using “submit .webname.com”

Hi @AlbertoAO,

I stumbled about your problem while looking for something else.

You have to enter the following URLs as “URI de redireccion”:
https://veredes.es/vad/index.php/vad/orcidapi/orcidVerify
https://veredes.es/vad/index.php/vad/orcidapi/orcidAuthorize

I am very sorry, I helped in developing some features in the plugin and found that this information is missing in the plugin settings. I will make a note and try to add this in a future version.

Hi @nweiher Neil.
First of all nothing to apologize, for that there is this magnificent forum, to share.
In the second, thank you very much for the help provided. We have configured the orcid plugin in pkp like this,
Sin%20t%C3%ADtulo-1
I think it works, or at least it does not give error as before.
Regards, and thank you very much!
