Thanks @asmecher; we can do that from here out, but I realized I left out an important detail from my first post. We have been using our multiple-galley approach for five years
of publication using OJS 2.x; with two issues a year and approximately 15 contributions per issue, we’d love a way to easily hide certain galleys now that we’re upgrading to 3.x.
Hi @blonsway,
Essentially the problem is that you’re using galleys in a way they’re not intended to be used. There are two solutions:
- Modify OJS to add more control over how galleys are presented, or
- Alter the upgrade script so that galleys are migrated somewhere else upon upgrade.
The upgrade scripts can be complex so you’ll definitely have to put some time into understanding them, but you’ll be better off in the long haul not maintaining modifications to OJS for this purpose. Have a look at e.g. supplementary files migration · Issue #3016 · pkp/pkp-lib · GitHub for how this kind of intervention tends to look.
