Creator Roles for EPrints

Adding roles to an EPrints repository using the CRediT taxonomy. The initial commit is code that's been used for testing at University of Glasgow which stores the roles in a new compound field 'creators_roles' and provides associated phrases, workflow and render.

=========

Liam's version with CRediT drop down:

This is an experimental version of the CRediT plugin with a custom javascript control.

To install: Add this to the compound field for creators:

{
      sub_name => 'credit_roles',
      type => 'CreditRole',
			input_cols => 1,
			allow_null => 1,
			input_cols => 25
}

Important! Regenerate your static files to include the javascript needed for the custom control:

$ bin/generate_static [your repository name]

Enable editing by adding "credit_role:edit" to the appropriate role in user_roles.pl or adding as a user permission.

To include the CRediT roles in the abstract add something like this to cfg/citations/eprint/summary_page.xml:

    <epc:foreach expr="$item.property('creators')" iterator="creator">
      <epc:if test="is_set($creator{orcid})">
        <tr class="ep_row">
          <th align="right"><epc:print expr="$creator{name}.property('family')" />, <epc:print expr="$creator{name}.property('given')" />:</th>
          <td valign="top">
            <a href="https://orcid.org/{$creator{orcid}}"><img id="orcid_logo" src="/images/orcid_16x16.png" alt="ORCiD logo" />https://orcid.org/<epc:print expr="$creator{orcid}" /></a>  
            <epc:print expr="$creator.render_value_function('EPrints::MetaField::CreditRole::render_value_function', 'credit_roles', $creator{credit_roles})" />
          </td>
        </tr>
      </epc:if>
    </epc:foreach>

This plugin was made for EPrints 3.3 so may need adapting to work on EPrints 3.4. It should also be considered as alpha quality until it is tested some more!
