OJS 3.4.0.4
In the search function, in the advances filter, I would like to be able to choose author from a dropdown list of all authors who have contributed to my journal.
I also would like to have a dropdown list with all the “Sections” in the Journal, in the search filter.
Depending on the size of your journal, you might get a cumbersome user experience because there might be thousands of authors in the dropdown menu. I would advise against such an idea. Also, load time for your search page will be much higher because all authors need to be prefetched upon every load of the search page.
Better would be an AJAX-based lookup similar to what is offered in our repository (https://www.zora.uzh.ch/creators_editors.html) - but here you are on your own to (let) implement such a function for OJS.
We have about 100 authors and to have them in a dropdown list in search, would just be great.
I also would like to have a dropdown list with our 8 “Sections” in the Journal, in the search filter.
Is it possible?
In the old journal (not OJS) that we will replace with OJS, there is its dropdown lists and they are very popular https://www.jt.se/search.asp
Hi,
If possible help with having all authors (about 100) in a drop down list in search.
I would also like help with a drop down list of our 8 “Sections” in the journal, in the search filter.
If this is possible, then of course we are prepared to pay for this help.
We use OJS 3.4.0.4
Hi @gdlenne
I can send you a quote, if you wish, for the development of an open-source plugin (GPL 3 license, like OJS). However, our team is involved in the development of some plugins of general interest currently, and it may take us a few weeks to be able to deliver it. Please let us know if you’re interested.
