Change table publication_settings > setting_value datatype from TEXT to MEDIUMTEXT

Hi @asmecher,

thank you for your reply.

I thought about solution 2 and discussed this with Dulip also, but this would not be my preferred way. I prefer sticking with the OJS schema and use a custom schema if this is absolutely necessary.

  • For 3.2.1-x and 3.3.0-x: is there an example of a plugin you know of which makes these changes? This would make my life easier searching.

  • For version 3.4.0-x, I’ll do so with an pull request. Where can I find this version, is this the main branch of GitHub - pkp/ojs: Open Journal Systems? I will plan to do this at the end of August or in September.

A quick search gave me the following tables which needs to me changed:

announcement_settings
announcement_type_settings
author_settings
category_settings
citation_settings
controlled_vocab_entry_settings
data_object_tombstone_settings
email_templates_settings
