Altmetric badge plugin

[John Salter]

Hi All,

Some uses of the Altmetric badge plugin (https://bazaar.eprints.org/id/epm/altmetric) have reported that is has stopped working.

This appears to be a change at the Altmetric end of things (or possibly a threshold being reached), which is now blocking the request from the EPrints server to their API.

We have an initial fix for this:

https://github.com/eprintsug/altmetric/commit/a687fcce74a06312e02af25f275492079e5dc6ed

but are waiting for feedback from Altmetric before releasing a new version of the plugin.

I'll post here again when the new version has been released into the Bazaar.

Many thanks to David Newman for flagging this, diagnosing it, and suggesting a fix.

Cheers,

John
