How to add a caption below the homepage image in OJS 3?

Hi all,

In OJS 2 there was under 5.2 an option to put a caption under the homepage image: “Add the following content, using text/HTML, which will appear below the homepage image, if one is uploaded.”
Where can I do this in OJS 3?

Regards,

Hi @AI_JE

I think the field Settings > Website > Appearance > Additional Content is meant to be for the home page content in the OJS 3…

Hi Bozana,

The content added at Settings>Website>Additional Content will appear at the end of the homepage.
It does not appear at the place where we want it to be.
What we want to do is two things:

  • put a caption under the homepage image
  • put a brief description of our journal underneath the navigationbar

Both things were easy to do in OJS 2, but seem to be no longer available in OJS 3.

Best,
Jurry

Hi @AI_JE

Maybe you could create your own theme, so that you can position those elements as you want. For that, you might find some answers in this forum, and you could take a look at this document: https://legacy.gitbook.com/book/pkp/pkp-theming-guide/details.

@AI_JE And here is an example of a child theme (based on Default) that puts the Additional Content at the top of the homepage, like @bozana suggested : GitHub - martinpub/luDefaultMods: Child theme for OJS Default theme with LU mods.. I would vote for this as the Default default, but as long as it is not, feel free to use this theme.

Thanks @martinpub!
I will tag @NateWr – for him to see if that should be the default… :slight_smile:

@bozana - do you know of any development regarding this in default? Almost all journals we’re hosting want to add a short intro at the top of the page, before the current issue. Is this still not possible by default?
