How could I split issues in archive page into two columns?

mayuso · December 3, 2016, 7:55am

Hi,
I would like to change page archive display. I would prefer to display all issues splitted into several columns. Is it possible to do it from managing pages?.
Could the same be done in other pages?
I am using 2.4.1 ojs
Thank you very much

This would require code changes.

The archives page display is performed by this handler:

github.com

pkp/ojs/blob/ojs-2_4_1-0/pages/issue/IssueHandler.inc.php#L103-L129


	/**
	 * Display the issue archive listings
	 * @param $args array
	 * @param $request PKPRequest
	 */
	function archive($args, $request) {
		$this->validate($request);
		$this->setupTemplate();

		$journal =& $request->getJournal();
		$issueDao =& DAORegistry::getDAO('IssueDAO');
		$rangeInfo = $this->getRangeInfo('issues');

		$publishedIssuesIterator = $issueDao->getPublishedIssues($journal->getId(), $rangeInfo);

		import('classes.file.PublicFileManager');
		$publicFileManager = new PublicFileManager();
		$coverPagePath = $request->getBaseUrl() . '/';
		$coverPagePath .= $publicFileManager->getJournalFilesPath($journal->getId()) . '/';

And by this template:

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

<div id="issues">
{iterate from=issues item=issue}
	{if $issue->getYear() != $lastYear}
		{if !$notFirstYear}
			{assign var=notFirstYear value=1}
		{else}

Thank you very much, I will try it in next weeks.

Is this feature included in ojs 3?

I’m not aware of this being native functionality in OJS3, but OJS3 has made substantial progress in being able to apply custom themes for the interface. If you make the change in OJS 2.x, you should be able to code that change into a new OJS 3.x theme.
