today I downloaded a new version of the CitationStyleLanguage plugin and installed it manually by unzipping the file in the /sys/plugins/generic/citationStyleLanguage directory. We are using the latest OJS version 3.3.0.8.
After the installation the following error message appears:
Warning: require_once(/home/suburban/public_html/sys/plugins/generic/citationStyleLanguage/lib/vendor/autoload.php): failed to open stream: file or directory not found in /home/suburban/public_html/sys/plugins/generic/citationStyleLanguage/CitationStyleLanguagePlugin.inc.php on line 16
Fatal error: require_once(): Failed opening required ‘/home/suburban/public_html/sys/plugins/generic/citationStyleLanguage/lib/vendor/autoload.php’ (include_path=’. :/opt/cpanel/ea-php74/root/usr/share/pear’) in /home/suburban/public_html/sys/plugins/generic/citationStyleLanguage/CitationStyleLanguagePlugin.inc.php on line 16
In the new version of the plugin the directory “citationStyleLanguage/lib/” is missing and so is the file “autoload.php”. In the old one the directory and the file are present.
you mean that I should install it via the Plugin Gallery (Website → Plugins → Plugin Gallery)? The CitationStyleLanguage Plugin is not listed there, thats why I installed it from github.
Yes, that is the suggested way for installing plugins as it ensures the correct plugin version and all necessary installation steps.
I have just checked and I believe the Citation Style Plugin should be installed as default:
Have you checked that is not installed and only disabled?
thank you for your quick reply! I have installed and activated an older version of the Citation Style Language (CSL) plugin and it works. My problem is that updating to the latest version – available on github – does not work. I guess I should explain why I want to update it in the first place:
I installed the Custom Citation Style plugin because I would like to integrate our journal’s citation style as the primary format for bibliographic information and output it via the CSL plugin. I can select the custom citation style in the CSL settings, but I did not manage to output it on the article landing page.
Therefore I assumed that it might be due to an outdated Citation Style Language plugin. To be able to exclude this source of error, I tried the update.
But maybe this error has nothing to do with the CSL plugin?
I have now managed to include our citation style not via Custom Citation Style Plugin, but directly via Citation Style Language Plugin and it seems to works so far.
