Affiliation Show in OJS 2X

Software Support
1

I wonder if anyone can help me to activate author’s affiliation to be shown underneath the name or any where OJS (2.4.8) has already been set before. I could not find a way to do it. Do we need to edit the codes or it has be fixed on the journal set up section.

Hi @aiac,

For OJS 2.x, you’ll need to make a template modification – see templates/article/article.tpl and look for the call to getAuthorString, which fetches and displays the author listing.

Hi@ asmecher

Thanks for your note. What kind of changes has to be made @ getAuthorString ?

Hi @aiac,

You can either modify the implementation of getAuthorString in lib/pkp/classes/submission/Submission.inc.php – but note that this will add the affiliation to other parts of the system that use this function. The best approach is probably to replace that function with a Smarty {foreach} loop that makes use of the $article->getAuthors() function and presents each author as you like.
