Hi,

I am new to OJS.

I created couple of journals. when I view site, its showing one journal latest issues.

Is there any where in ojs, so that “view site” page, without login , user can see all the journals and with its latest 2 or 3 issues.

Hi @bnageswari,

What version of OJS are you using? (Please include this in your posts.)

Are you comfortable with PHP and Smarty Templates?

There isn’t a way to do this without code changes in the current release.

If you are comfortable changing the code, you would need to modify the handler here:

github.com

pkp/ojs/blob/3dc97abfbc9f462355483331b17483088b150abe/pages/index/IndexHandler.inc.php#L83-L104


			$journalDao = DAORegistry::getDAO('JournalDAO');
			$site = $request->getSite();

			if ($site->getRedirect() && ($journal = $journalDao->getById($site->getRedirect())) != null) {
				$request->redirect($journal->getPath());
			}

			$templateMgr->assign('about', $site->getLocalizedAbout());
			$templateMgr->assign('journalFilesPath', $request->getBaseUrl() . '/' . Config::getVar('files', 'public_files_dir') . '/journals/');

			// If we're using paging, fetch the parameters
			$usePaging = $site->getSetting('usePaging');
			if ($usePaging) $rangeInfo = $this->getRangeInfo($request, 'journals');
			else $rangeInfo = null;
			$templateMgr->assign('usePaging', $usePaging);

			$journals = $journalDao->getAll(true, $rangeInfo);
			$templateMgr->assign('journals', $journals);
			$templateMgr->assign('site', $site);

Hi, please help me with updated code.

ctgraham · March 31, 2017, 3:47pm

What changes have you tried and what results are you currently getting?

bnageswari · March 31, 2017, 5:57pm

Thanks for the quick reply. I didnt find any changes. Files are truncated. Please give your updated code. I will try.

ctgraham · March 31, 2017, 6:12pm

Ah. I just provided links to show you where in the files the code would need to be added.

We aren’t able to do this kind of custom programming for individuals on the forum. You will, however, generally find folks here happy to give suggestions to help your own work succeed.

If you are comfortable coding PHP and Smarty, give it a try, and post your work here or on Github with any questions.
