Cannot enable new lournals

[nef]

Hi,
After upgrading to OJS 3.2, we are unable to enable new journals that have selected English as their primary locale to appear publicly on the site. Our journal platform, which contains many different journals, has Danish as its primary locale. See: https://tidsskrift.dk/

Hi @nef,

This sounds odd. So, when you try to enable it is it indicating any particular setting as creating the error? And, the journal just simply not appearing among the list of journals? I do see an English journal here, for example: https://www.conjunctions-tjcp.com/ - but I don’t know enough about your instance to know whether or not this is one of the affected journals.

Dear @nef
Like most users, it seems that you use mod_rewrite rules to remove index.php and journal path.
and there are double slashes in the link that @rcgillis added.

https://www.conjunctions-tjcp.com//announcement

So, you need to check your mod_rewrite rules (in .htaccess)
Perhaps, those posts might help you to identify the problem.
Regards,

Update: When I visit the journal that exist in the screenshot, it has published its first issue on 21th of May. Perhaps, you might have tried to use an existing journal path?

The Administration section is unavailable when restful_urls = On [OJS 3.3.0.5]

I ask for the help of OJS community in the correct configuration config.inc.php and .htaccess for one journal for OJS 3.3.0.5. I know that this question has been discussed many times here and before asking this question, I researched a lot of topics dedicated to simplifying links in the OJS installation and I almost succeeded in everything except for two points. I almost certainly made some mistake in .htaccess, but my knowledge is not enough to fix it. One journal is installed here. I changed …

SOLVED: Upgrade from OJS 3.1.2.4 to OJS 3.2.1.2: problems with url api in back-office

Hi all, After some hard tests, I want to share htaccess configuration that I could successfully removed index.php and journal path on a multijournal & multidomain OJS installation. I am aware that this solution my be limited to my server configuration, so I will try to share all details related to OJS environment. I need to say that I couldn’t get success with this model on a single journal setup. Besides the site domain, at least a different domain is needed for the journal. …

[OJS 3.2.0.3] Error on Submission Page

Another update. I have found out that the upload of files within the page is hindered by this. I have since changed the .htaccess to: RewriteEngine On RewriteBase / # Bugfix for OJS 3.2.0-3: submissions API doesnt work with shortened URLs RewriteRule ^api/v1(.*)$ index.php/journal/api/v1$1 [L,R=307] # Rewrite URL to look cleaner RewriteCond %{SERVER_NAME} ^www.server.com RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/journal/ RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/journal/$1 […

Thank you very much for the new in-depth answers. We will look into this as soon as possible. Initially, we solved the problem as follows:

The problem occurs because the field “Journal initials” (which is a required field) wasn’t filled out in our site’s primary locale (Danish) but because the Danish wasn’t activated on the journal we couldn’t enable the journal to appear publicly on the site. It was really difficult to figure out, what caused the problem.

We had to choose Danish under ‘Language’, both under UI and Forms

After completing the ‘Journal Initials’ field (see below), the journal was successfully published. We must therefore conclude that the information under ‘Journal Identity’ must be entered in both English and Danish.

After enabling the journal to appear publicly on the site we could turn off Danish UI/Forms again.
