Disabling download counter in OPS 3.5

Hello,

I’m wondering if there is a way to disable, in the settings, the download-counter from displaying in the front-end.

Thanks,

Aria

Hi @Aria_Lotfalian,

Where are you seeing this displayed on your OPS site? I don’t see it on my version that I was testing on it, so I’m going to presume that it can be disabled. Can you provide a link/screenshot?

Hello @rcgillis,

The download-counter is displayed under each published preprint in the latest preprint list of the homepage. Here’s a screenshot:

Hi @Aria_Lotfalian,

Right - sorry - I see what you mean - it didn’t stand out to me at first. I just tested this on 3.5 and it didn’t work for me either. I’ll see if I can get our devs to look at this to see if it might be a bug.

Cool site design by the way!

Hello @rcgillis ,

Thank you. I’ll await the response. In the meantime, I was wondering if there is also way to make the download-counter not display using CSS. I tried doing this but the counter doesn’t seem to have specific class name assigned to it so I couldn’t find a way to select it without also selecting the submission and publication dates.

Which theme of OJS are you using?

We are just using the default theme in OPS 3.5 but styling it with background image, etc. using CSS.

Hi @Aria_Lotfalian,

Have you tried just setting it to display: none in your CSS? That would allow it not to display. I’m in discussions with our dev team and they may be filing an issue on Github - I’ll follow-up when I know more.
