Hi,

This is my current urls for articles: http://xyz.com/pt/article/view/284

I want to change it in to custom urls like: http://xyz.com/pt/article/url-of-my-choice
or
http://xyz.com/pt/article/title-of-article-should-appear-here

How can I do that ?

Hi @rajesh,

What version of OJS are you using? (Please include this with your posts.)

Is this relevant?

This not relevant.

I want to change urls for all article pages. – just like “URL ALIASES”.

Hi @rajesh,

You can replace the numeric identifiers for each article with whatever you like by entering a value in the “Public URL Identifier” field, on the “Identifiers” tab of the “Metadata” pop-over (in the Editor’s workflow). Modifying the URLs beyond that will require mod_rewrite and/or some custom coding.

Yes, This is a solution for which I was looking for.

But, urls are visited by both paths —
I mean,

  1. http://www.pharmatutorjournal.com/index.php/pt/article/view/orodispersible-liquisolid-compacts-a-novel-approach-to-enhance-solubility-and-bioavailability
    and
  2. http://www.pharmatutorjournal.com/index.php/pt/article/view/538

But, it should redirect from numerical value (no.2) to custom url (No.1)

Hi @rajesh,

Currently OJS is designed to respond to both – I can see how it might be nicer to redirect from the numeric to the custom URL, but currently the numeric ID also represents an invariant identifier that will never change.
