Basic workflow for all journals

Software Support

in the same instance of OJS.3.0.2.0 we can create a common or basic workflow for all journals, without the need to manually copy each one of them.??

Thank you

Hi @Ricardo,

Do you mean so that the journal setup of a newly created journal has a more fully-fledged configuration? One way to do that would be to edit registry/journalSettings.xml; the settings described there will be applied to any newly created journal.

Thank you Alec.

I have other questions:

There are changes in the structure of the databases from version 2.4.x to version 3.x ? Which are?

Can you recommend international companies that offer the migration service from versions 2.4.x to version 3.x?

it’s possible reuse the graphic interface of versions 2.4.x to version 3.x

Thanks a lot

Hi @Ricardo,

Yes, the database structure (and files structure) are both quite different. PKP Publishing Services offers consulting and hosting; you might try contacting them.

If you’ve customized your OJS 2.x installation for layout (e.g. editing templates, adding CSS, etc.), that work will need to be redone in OJS 3.x. However, the markup and styles used in OJS 3.x make this easier and it already looks a lot more modern.

Than you for your express answer.
Another question.
We need add security to our OJS v. 3.0.2. for this reason the question is:

How you limited the extensions of archives for submittion, eg.: .exe, .xml, .doc., etc.

Thank in advanced

Hi @Ricardo,

There’s a plugin in the plugin gallery called “Allowed Uploads” that permits you to specify which extensions are allowed. You’ll need to run at least OJS 3.1.0 to install it.

Note that this is not intended to secure your files directory – the way to do that is to either keep it outside the web root, or use a .htaccess file to prevent direct access. Otherwise you are probably allowing anyone to download your submission files if they can guess the filename. See docs/README for details.
