[EP-tech] Overwrite a Plugin function

First of all, it's an issue in EPrints that it doesn't separate out the 
model from the view. That was largely my fault, and in my defence I was 
quite young at the time.


I can think of several solutions to what you need. From worst to best.

1.

The worst solution is to just edit the darn file. This will work but be 
lost if you upgrade the file. If you did go that route, I would 
recommend making a formal "patch" file that can be easily re-applied 
after an upgrade.. but this is still not a good way.

2.

If you absolutely need the plugin to be called "Orcid" then you could, 
in your config files, erase and recreate the function by tinkering with 
the register of functions in the Orcid package... Now I'm really rusty 
on this but I think this would do it. NOTE that there's a closing semi 
colon after the closing brace. This alters it for ALL repositories so 
would be more of a concern if you host serveral repositories on one 
install of EPrints

$EPrints::MetaField::Orcid{render_single_value} = sub {

          my( $self, $session, $value ) = @_;

          my $url = "https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Forcid.org%2F%24value&data=05%7C01%7Ceprints-tech%40ecs.soton.ac.uk%7Ca0192c3ea0c24d983a3d08da8cca73a2%7C4a5378f929f44d3ebe89669d03ada9d8%7C0%7C0%7C637977098389798411%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=dXpcOGe8tdHnLcAWZgokbElFUzZkFjqLAmxLLvv4yGQ%3D&reserved=0

          my $link = $session->render_link( $url, "_blank" );
          $link->appendChild( $session->make_element( "img", src =>
"/images/orcid_16x16.png", class => "orcid-icon" ) );
          $link->appendChild( $session->make_text( "orcid.org/$value" ) );

          return $link;
};


3.

The final, and probably cleanest solution would be to make a new plugin 
called, say, OrcidAlfa, and make it subclass Orcid.pm

package EPrints::MetaField::OrcidAlfa;

use strict;
use warnings;


BEGIN {
 ??????? our( @ISA );
 ??????? @ISA = qw( EPrints::MetaField::Orcid );
}

sub render_single_value
{
 ?? ?my( $self, $session, $value ) = @_;

 ????? ???? my $url = "https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Forcid.org%2F%24value&data=05%7C01%7Ceprints-tech%40ecs.soton.ac.uk%7Ca0192c3ea0c24d983a3d08da8cca73a2%7C4a5378f929f44d3ebe89669d03ada9d8%7C0%7C0%7C637977098389798411%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=oELWXua9pWXyGZhPR%2FrPGDNPcF0vSqKAKc0XcdmNbkU%3D&reserved=0";;

 ??????? my $link = $session->render_link( $url, "_blank" );
 ?? ?$link->appendChild( $session->make_element( "img", src => 
"/images/orcid_id.svg", class => "orcid-icon", alt => "ORCID logo" ) );
 ??????? $link->appendChild( $session->make_text( 
"https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Forcid.org%2F%24value&data=05%7C01%7Ceprints-tech%40ecs.soton.ac.uk%7Ca0192c3ea0c24d983a3d08da8cca73a2%7C4a5378f929f44d3ebe89669d03ada9d8%7C0%7C0%7C637977098389798411%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=oELWXua9pWXyGZhPR%2FrPGDNPcF0vSqKAKc0XcdmNbkU%3D&reserved=0"; ) );

 ??????? return $link;

Industrial Action

Sadly my trade union is currently in dispute over pay, pensions and 
casualisation. You can read more at 
https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ucu.org.uk%2Farticle%2F11896%2FWhy-were-taking-action&amp;data=05%7C01%7Ceprints-tech%40ecs.soton.ac.uk%7Ca0192c3ea0c24d983a3d08da8cca73a2%7C4a5378f929f44d3ebe89669d03ada9d8%7C0%7C0%7C637977098389798411%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&amp;sdata=Z%2B0rvQDlX4a%2FtgeWXkUdHWhUwgbBD%2BHWJq6HhFR6SL4%3D&amp;reserved=0

The Southampton branch is currently working on "Action Short Of a 
Strike" (ASOS). This means only doing work we are contracted to do, so 
no working on any additional voluntary tasks. It's frustating, but so 
are below inflation pay rises.

As a result, so far I've had to turn down or stop working on:

  * Coordinating the iSolutions Communities of Practice program
  * Coordinating the System Documentation Community of Pracice
  * Helping with a workshop on data visualisation
  * Providing a Minecraft activity for the Archaeology family day
  * Helping another team recruit someone for a post
  * Not helped a colleague debug something in a service I'm an expert on
    but is no longer my responsibility
  * Not offering to "keep an eye" on changes impacting our systems while
    I'm on holiday

I look forward to getting back into these kinds of activity as soon as 
the industrial action permits.

Please do not cover for people taking ASOS. If it causes problems, it is 
helpful to make management aware. The most unhelpful thing is for people 
to mitigate the impacts of industrial action or hide it from management. 
The best thing to help is to join the union and the action and/or donate 
to the strike fund.
