OJS 3.0 - Choose language & Search at the index page

Firstly, thank you all for the excellent OJS project!
I’ve started using the OJS 3.0 and I’m looking for the search field and choose language field (useful for visitors/readers without login). Just like the component existed in the 2.4.8 version:





How to add it in OJS 3.0?

Hi @gustavomirandag,

Do you have multiple UI languages enabled in the language settings page? If so, the sidebar should contain links to choose languages.

Yes, I have. Portuguese is my first language and English is enabled.
Thanks for your fast response!

Hi @gustavomirandag,

Go to Settings > Website in the Journal Manager’s dashboard, and under the “Sidebar management” area, ensure that the language toggle block is configured to appear.

It is already checked. Here is my entire configuration:

Thanks again!

Hi @gustavomirandag,

That appears to be the plugin list, not the sidebar management area. Are you working with a multi-journal install, or a single-journal install?

I’m sorry. Yes that is the plugin list and I’m working with a multi-journal install.
How can I find the “Sidebar Management Area”? Is it in each Journal administration section?

Jounals Administration

Single Journal Administration

Hi @andres.segovia and @gustavomirandag,

Ah, I see – the sidebar management area is available when you’re setting up an individual journal, but not when setting up the site-wide area for a multi-journal install. I’ve filed this for attention:

Yes!
Thank you for the OJS3 and your help!
I’m really liking this new responsive version.

Hi everyone. Same issue here.
Thank you.

Hi @asmecher,

This option is not displaying to me:
Language Settings:

Sidebar Management on Website settings

Hi @rafaelmansilha,

What version of OJS are you using?

Hi @asmecher,

I’m using 3.0.1 version

Hi @rafaelmansilha,

The github issue linked above (Add Sidebar Management to site settings for multi-journal installs · Issue #1859 · pkp/pkp-lib · GitHub) is scheduled against OJS 3.0.2 and thus the change will be released with that version. Until then, you’d need to cherry-pick the changes into your installation using git. (I don’t recommend doing this unless you know what you’re taking on.)

Hello
I have the same issue with 3.0.2.0 (just updated).
All languages are marked:

But the choice of languages doesn’t appear on the website:

Thank you

Hi @Mila_Simakova,

In the Appearance settings form, is the language toggle block configured to display on the page?
