Hi @moussabala,

I suspect it’s not possible without some coding – but could you describe what you want in a bit more detail? I’m not sure I’m following completely.

Thanks,

Hi there,

So basically what i want is when the author fill out the form before
hitting the submit button I want a preview wich will preview all the entry
in pdf format so he can make modification before submitting, on one he hits
submit it will send an email to the autheur with a pdf attached…

Hi @moussabala,

It’s always possible for the author to go back and review previously-submitted steps before the final submission confirmation happens. If you’re interested in getting OJS to email the user with a PDF-based summary of what they submitted, then that’ll take some coding.

Thank you for your response.

I have started using word press and I was able to do this with a plugin and
some coding. But word press does not have the authors authors in chiefs
fucntions so not designed for it. That’s why I turne to OJS, If I’m able
to add those fucntion to wordpress I may continue using it but for now I
dont.
So in OJS where to add that custom coding to get the entry in pdf and
mailed tot he user, if you could do it could you tell me how much it cost?
I’m trying to find someone to do it.
I also need to change the interfracte of the page.

Thank you.

Hi @moussabala,

I couldn’t tell you how much it would cost – that would be up to the developer – but I’d start looking in classes/author/form/submit/AuthorSubmitStep5Form.inc.php in the execute function, which is where the SUBMISSION_ACK email template is configured and sent.

Hi @moussabala,

I’d suggest using a developer toolbar like Firebug for Firefox. It’ll help debug CSS problems. If you post in detail what you’ve done, I may be able to help, but in general CSS-related issues might be best posted on something like Stackoverflow.

I was able to change the for the header tile to upper or lower case
#header h1 {
line-height: 2.5;
font-family: “Times New Roman”, Times, Georgia, serif;
text-transform: Uppercase;
letter-spacing: 10px;
font-size: 2em;
background-color: #040;
color: #fff;
}
but for the navigation menu there is no where I can change the navigation
menu to lower case words

Hi @moussabala,

Could you post unrelated questions as new topics? That will help to keep the forum organized.
