I have a user who wanted to know if they can add another text box to the submission page somehow?
I told them until I got an answer they could add it to the checklist or author guidelines.
What application are you using?
, OJS 3.3.0-19
Hi @sjackson,
While it is technically feasible to do this, we caution against it. It is done by modifying the theme, and/or the underlying code. How exactly the theme get modifies depends on the field that you want to add. We often discourage this because this can “break” compatibility with your OJS instance - particuarly when going to upgrade in the future, unless done with significant attention and foresight to compatibility for future upgrades. Moreover, adding in an additional field necessitates modifying the database, which would store this custom field, which leads to similar complications with future upgrades. That said, if you’re still wanting to proceed with customizing the submission process, perhaps elaborate on where exactly you wish to add the textbox wiith the submission process?
