I have seen other people have wished for linked keywords before. However, it seems the issue has been linked and closed in the respective github issue. The milestones for OJS3.2 say that you are planning on implementing browsing of keywords, but not actually the linking of the keywords as clickable tags.
For us this is a very important feature and I would like to suggest you include it again.
Readers and authors are used to having keywords that refer to a list other documents that use the same keywords. This feature would add significantly to the usability of the OJS frontend.
Itās not easy to conceive any other ābrowsing by keywordsā, than browsing by those displayed as ātagsā on the article page. However, Iād rather ask @NateWr what he might have meant
That plugin is not supported anymore (it isnāt compatible with 3.1.2.*). Anyway, I believe @fpannach would like those keywords (tags), which are listed on the article page, to be displayed as linked ones (clickable).
Wrong. I made it compatible with OJS 3.1.2 . The example I gave runs on OJS 3.1.2
Wrong a second time. You can click a keyword and a search is run. So it is linkable.
I just wanted to chime in on this part from the original message:
That issue is filed against 3.2, but primarily in order to adapt our browseBySection plugin into the core application. I donāt think we will include browsing by keyword (or linking) in 3.2.
Thatās not because we donāt want to. We really want to make that happen! And when we include it, it should definitely be possible to link the keywords. But unfortunately other higher priorities have crowded it out so far.
Iām afraid I donāt have a good answer for you. To my knowledge, it is not scheduled formally or informally in any future version. It is a popular request, though.
Iāll tag @israel.cefrin here, who is helping us prioritize UX work for the frontend, so that he is aware. Iāve also asked for some clarity about which part of the issue is scheduled for 3.2, and I will try to split out the different parts of that issue so that we can be more clear about which parts are scheduled or not.
Just wanted to let you know that Iāve split up the original issue, which combined several different features, so now you can track progress on browsing by keyword here:
Iāve given it the Community Priority tag for now and I believe you may have been in touch with Publishing Services to discuss this further.
Dear @NateWr,
yes we would be willing to sponsor the development if that could help speeding up the implementation.
And thanks for opening up the issues, that does described perfectly whatās needed (at least from our side) and should prevent any misunderstandings in the future.
