[Loris-dev] Setting up LORIS instance -- help with PSCID

[Christine Rogers]

Hi Michael,
Thanks for your question - since this is a technical/setup issue, I'm
responding to you as well as the Loris-dev listserv for any further input
from the Loris team and community, since another Loris project out there
may have already implemented the solution you're looking for.

Someone with a little coding knowledge can easily customize and adapt the
Candidate:validatePSCID()
<https://github.com/aces/Loris/blob/17.0-dev/php/libraries/Candidate.class.inc#L797>
and Utility class functions
<https://github.com/aces/Loris/blob/17.0-dev/php/libraries/Utility.class.inc#L377>
that check for a specific pattern in user-input PSCID formatting.

E.g. you could adapt these functions to check all site abbreviations (or
Alias), and could define in config.xml a new <seq> type for project, and
add a little code to validate this (across all valid projects).

Also note we're currently adapting the User-Site relationship
<https://github.com/aces/Loris/pull/2468> for Loris 17.1 to allow users to
register a candidate at any site the user is appropriately attached to.

Best,
Christine
