How can I override backend templates (OJS 3)?

Hi @NateWr,

I am trying to override an Admin template:
I would like to add a new link after Site Settings with name ‘Others’
It 'is a copy of Hosted Journals link (list all the journals) and modify link ‘edit’ with others questions)
image

I created a new child-theme and structure:
Plugins/themes/default-child/templates/admin/

  • contextSettings.tpl
  • contexts.tpl
  • index.tpl
  • settings.tpl

image

The code in TestThemePlugin.nc.php is the same as in github (GitHub - NateWr/defaultChild: An example child theme for OJS 3.) change class name.

I read this topics:

It is not working,
How can I load my admin template without modify original?
If I created a new templates/admin in my Plugins/Theme
The context.tpl:

{strip}
{assign var="pageTitle" value="journal.journals"}
{include file="common/header.tpl"}
{/strip}

<script type="text/javascript">
	// Initialise JS handler.
	$(function() {ldelim}
		$('#contexts').pkpHandler(
				'$.pkp.pages.admin.ContextsHandler');
	{rdelim});
</script>

<p>Hello World!!! </p>

<div class="pkp_page_content pkp_page_admin">
	<div id="contexts">
		{if $openWizardLinkAction}
			<div id="{$openWizardLinkAction->getId()}" class="pkp_linkActions inline">
				{include file="linkAction/linkAction.tpl" action=$openWizardLinkAction contextId="contexts" selfActivate=true}
			</div>
		{/if}
		{url|assign:journalsUrl router=$smarty.const.ROUTE_COMPONENT component="grid.admin.journal.JournalOneGridHandler" op="fetchGrid" escape=false}
		{load_url_in_div id="journalOneGridContainer" url=$journalsUrl}
	</div>

</div><!-- .pkp_page_content -->

{include file="common/footer.tpl"}

Do you know any doc with steps to modify o create a new templates ?

Regards.
