User Home generates wrong link

Software Support

Hi,

In my OJS 2.4.7, all menu link are generated correctly, except the User Home. Instead of putting the name of the journal in the URL, it writes “index”, i.e.:

 http://revista.itcps.org/index.php/index/user

instead of

http://revista.itcps.org/index.php/itcp/user

As I’m a new user, I dont know if this behaviour is normal (maybe for the case of many journals) or not. Anyway, removing

journal="index"

from the file

templates/common/navbar.tpl, line 17

solved the problem for me.

Is this a bug? Is the solution appropriate? Shall I make a patch?

all the best,
alan

This is a matter of contention in OJS 2.x, with some arguing for the functionality you describe, and others arguing for the functionality as-is.
See:

It’s best to maintain a local fix for your site at this time. The permanent fix is in the 3.0 redesign.
