Hi,
I created a new item menu on sidebar with link to all my journals on Backend
I would like all the journals on template because we don’t use the “navigationContextMenu”

The new template not depends of any theme,

How can do it ?
Where is the best way to create this template ?

Hi,
I created a new item on my sidebar (Backofice) on header.tpl (lib/pkp)

I created a new templates on directory: _templates/management/settings/allMyJournals.tpl

I modified /pages/management/SettingsHandler.inc.php and create a new function:

$this->addRoleAssignment(
			array(ROLE_ID_MANAGER,ROLE_ID_SITE_ADMIN,ROLE_ID_SUB_EDITOR,ROLE_ID_AUTHOR,ROLE_ID_REVIEWER,ROLE_ID_ASSISTANT,ROLE_ID_READER,ROLE_ID_SUBSCRIPTION_MANAGER),
			array(				
				'allJournals',
			)
		);

My function

function allJournals($args, $request) {		
		$journalDao =& DAORegistry::getDAO('JournalDAO');
		$templateMgr = TemplateManager::getManager($request);
		$user =& $request->getUser();

		$journals = $journalDao-> getAllJournals($user->getId());
	
		$templateMgr->assign('journals', $journals);
		
		$this->setupTemplate($request);
		$templateMgr->display('management/settings/allJournals.tpl');
	}

How can I to permit for all user registrated show my templates in backoffice ??

Thanks
Xavi.

Did you solve this? How is this link different than the journal navigation drop-down in the upper left?

Hi @ctgraham,
I customized some files from my theme and core.

  • classes/journal/JournalDAO.inc.php → to create a new function

  • /lib/pkp/templates/common/header.tpl → to create a new link

  • /pages/management/SettingsHandler.inc.php → create case and assign roles and new function

  • /templates/management/settings/allJournals.tpl → my new template with journals

I customized this files becaouse I need to show a list of journals when user has any role.
this link go to submission about this journal.

I have more than 200 journals, so I preferd a list on template.

Regards.

Ok. This functionality sounds very similar to the intended function of the journal navigation, but in a page instead of a menu.

Is everything working for you now, or did you still need assistance with anything?
