Hello. One of our journals is using the Funding Data plugin https://github.com/ajnyga/funding/ and are wanting to batch load funding data for their extensive past archives. Is there a way to do this with perhaps a .csv file in the back end, or even something in the GUI that allows for batch loading?
Thanks for any help. We are using OJS 3.3 currently, and as far as I can tell the latest version of the plugin.
Just boosting this, we’re still stuck trying to figure out this issue. Any help is appreciated.
Hi,
Unfortunately there is no support for batch loading in the plugin.
Have you considered adding data directly to the database? Basically you would need the csv data for the submissionId and the funder data and a simple php script to go through the list. This does of course require some basic PHP coding skills.
Yes I was interested in ways to add it directly to the database as well, but wasn’t sure how to do that. Do you happen to have an example of the PHP script that might be necessary? Something I can show our developers. Thanks for responding!
