[OJS] Pagination footer and/or filter/search header for Archives page

Feature Requests
1

Describe the problem you would like to solve
We have a journal, which has a lot of archived issues (137 issues, and that will grow, when we upload the whole archive back to 1935!). On the Archives page these are sliced into several pages with a “Next” and “Previous” link. For a user there is no opportunity to jump to a specific page, e.g. page 3, or search/filter, e.g. for all issues of a specific year.

Describe the solution you’d like
It would improve the usability of the Archives page, if there would be …

  1. … a footer, where the user can jump to a specific “page” (see example of pagination footer below), or a specific range of results (e.g. “1-25 26-50 51-100 101-137”).
  2. … a filter or search header at the top of the page, where the user can filter the Archives page. Something similar to the CrossRef XML Export Plugin’s “Search” on the top of the Articles section (see screenshot below).

Who is asking for this feature?
The journal editors, and authors asked for this.

Hi @marc I was asking if the PKP team would implement these features on a coming soon release?

I’m using OJS 3.3.0.15 with bootstrap3 theme, I need to change the pagination markup in the archives page, from the previous and next buttons to numbered pages.

I have made some refactoring and found the code of templates/controllers/grid/feature/gridPaging.tpl, which I supposed it’s the code used on Grid Pagination as Native XML Plugin > Export Issues Tab and Crossref XML Export Plugin.

<div class="gridPaging">
	<div class="gridItemsPerPage">
		{translate key="common.itemsPerPage"}:<select class="itemsPerPage"></select>
	</div>
	<div class="gridPages">
		{page_info iterator=$iterator itemsPerPage=$currentItemsPerPage}
		{page_links name=$grid->getId() iterator=$iterator}
	</div>
</div>

So my questions are:

Is it possible to use the code of templates/controllers/grid/feature/gridPaging.tpl instead of templates/frontend/components/pagination.tpl inside the issueArchive.tpl?

If it’s true, what files I need to modify to adapt this on the boostrap3 theme?

I have nothing more to say, I thank you in advance.

Hi @juancure

I don’t know if this feature is included in the roadmap, but your questions fit better in the support forum than in the feature request one, isn’t it?

Please, edit your comment and recreate as a support forum post where PKP dev fellows could help you better.

Cheers,
m.

You might consider this thread: Group archive issues by year which has some pointers.

Hi @marc sorry I thought it would be better ask directly in this topic, but you are right my doubts should be better in the pkp support section. Thanks.
