Link to help text for "Ensuring Blind Review" not opening

Software Support
1

Dear all,

I have a journal upgraded from OJS2 to 3.1.1-4 now. In the submission preperation checklist is a bullet point saying:

If submitting to a peer-reviewed section of the journal, the instructions in <a href="javascript:openHelp('http://ojs.ub.uni-frankfurt.de/ojs-fera/index.php/ojs-fera/help/view/editorial/topic/000044')">Ensuring a Blind Review</a> have been followed.

However, the link does not work (i.e. nothing happens). Is the link outdated or did I miss to enable a functionality?

Any help is appreciated!

Best Regards,

Adrian

Hi Adrian,

Can you open a javascript console in your browser and click the link? If you get an error, that would be helpful.

Cheers,
Jason

Hi Jason,

thanks for the quick response. The console tells me:

ReferenceError: openHelp is not defined

Aha. Okay, so it looks like there may have been a customization that was not ported over because the openHelp() JavaScript function no longer exists. I’d suggest editing the help text and maybe making that a regular link instead, perhaps opening in a new tab or window, instead of a popup.

Cheers,
Jason

First I have to say that this item in the checklist was pregenerated (at least I think so). So I had nothing to do with it’s installation.
That being said: The link is broken. It causes a 404 error.

Is there a way to link to the standard OJS Ensuring Blind Review phrases that are provided?

Yes, you can edit the submission checklist in Settings → Workflow → Submission. There will be a grid with each checklist item and an edit action below them.

Cheers,
Jason

I am having the same problem, but when I go to my submission workflow there is not option to readd or reset. It is already in the checklist with a broken link. Do you know what the good link I should be using is?
