Multiple journals- redirecting back to the site index page

I just added a new journal on my existing OJS installation (now I have two hosted journals). However once I am directed to an individual journal page I cannot return back to the site home page (http://xx.xx.x.xxx/ojs/index.php/index/index) when i click on the home link. I am stuck within that journal. Is there anything I didn’t configure correctly.

Hi @Sherry ,

That’ll require a template modification. Edit templates/common/navbar.tpl and change…

<li id="home"><a href="{url page="index"}">{translate key="navigation.home"}</a></li>

…to…

<li id="home"><a href="{url journal="index" page="index"}">{translate key="navigation.home"}</a></li>

Thanks so much. This is exactly what I was looking for.

Hello Alec,

This might not be in line with the above asked question but it’s kinda related - I wanted to add a link in the nav bar that opens in a new tab, but i am not quite sure how to do that - i am a bit skeptical if it is even possible.

Sherry.

Hi @Sherry,

You’d need to edit the same template (templates/common/navbar.tpl) and add the following attribute to the <a> elements you want to behave this way:

target="_blank"

See this reference: http://www.w3schools.com/tags/att_a_target.asp

We have the same problem now, with the last OJS. We cannot return back to the site home page. ¿How to remove the “Journal Redirect”?
