Do you know something about front-end development?
OJS uses Smarty templates (which are something between PHP and HTML). You need to make some changes in the structure as well as add CSS. The file responsible for the journal index page is here: https://github.com/pkp/ojs/blob/master/templates/frontend/pages/indexJournal.tpl

Yes, That i know. But it’s coded in internal not html or css. I need the solution in index.journal page.
I need similar for previous 1 archive issue under current issue.
this code:
{* Latest issue *}
{if $issue}

{translate key=“journal.currentIssue”}

{$issue->getIssueIdentification()|strip_unsafe_html}

{include file=“frontend/objects/issue_toc.tpl”}
<a href="{url router=$smarty.const.ROUTE_PAGE page=“issue” op=“archive”}" class=“read_more”>
{translate key=“journal.viewAllIssues”}

{/if}

My Smarty code for the slider is here:
https://github.com/Vitaliy-1/oldGregg/blob/master/templates/frontend/objects/issue_slider.tpl
But it won’t work without Bootstrap 4: Carousel · Bootstrap
So, if you want to utilize my code, you should upload Bootstrap framework to your theme.

Keep in mind that I’m also assigning an array, which contains the needed number of the latest issues to the Smarty templates:

github.com

Vitaliy-1/oldGregg/blob/main/OldGreggThemePlugin.inc.php#L259


			}
		}

		$cache->setEntireCache($popularArticles);
	}

	public function latestIssuesSlider($hookName, $args) {
		$smarty = $args[0];
		$template = $args[1];

		if ($template != 'frontend/pages/indexJournal.tpl') return false;

		$latestIssuesInput = $this->getOption("displayIssuesSlider");
		if (is_null($latestIssuesInput)) {
			$latestIssuesInput = OLDGREGG_LATEST_ISSUES_DEFAULT;
		} elseif (intval($latestIssuesInput) === 0) {
			return false;
		} else {
			$latestIssuesInput = intval($latestIssuesInput);
		}

What other code do you want to use after the current issue?
