Hello PKP Community,
I am using OJS and I need help with two small customizations in the Start a New Submission process. I have a basic understanding of coding, so I can edit files if needed, but I am not an expert.
1. Change Keywords Description Text
In the Details step of submission, under the Keywords field, the description currently says:
“Keywords are typically one- to three-word phrases that are used to indicate the main topics of a submission.”
I want to change this text to:
“Keywords are typically four- to six-word phrases that are used to indicate the main topics of a submission.”
Where can I change this text? Is it in a language file, template file, or somewhere in the admin settings?
2. Add Cover Letter Upload in “For the Editors” Step
In the For the Editors step, authors can only write comments. I want to add a file upload option here so authors can upload a cover letter during submission.
Is this possible to do by:
-
Adding a custom field,
-
Using a plugin,
-
Or editing a template file?
Any simple guidance or examples would be very helpful.
My Setup:
-
OJS Version: 3.5
-
Server: Linux
-
PHP Version: 8+
-
Database: MySQL
