No site administrator in OJS 3?

Software Support
1

Hi, I successfully installed the OJS 3 and I wanted to set journal redirect option, but surprisingly I don’t have that option in my user panel. This is very strange because I am the only one who has access to the website, I did the entire installation process, etc, so I really don’t understand how can I not be the site administrator (I currently have the role of Journal Manager).

Can someone help me how to get the admin privileges?

Hi @filipi,

Have you created one journal only, or several?

Hi, thanks for replying to one of many issues I’m having with OJS since last night :frowning:
I created only one journal.

Hi @filipi,

The site administration area is hidden until you create at least two journals. For a single-journal site, all the settings you need should be available directly in the journal setup.

Thanks… That’s the thing, I saw in other people’s posts that there is the option of “journal redirect” in administration, but I do not have that option…

Hi @filipi,

With OJS 3.x in a single-journal environment, there’s no need for that option – it’s basically applied automatically to the one journal you have.

My ideas was to drop the “OJS” from the url and have just something like “journal/index.php”

Hi @filipi,

The redirect option won’t do that – what you want is URL rewriting using Apache’s mod_rewrite module. Take a look through this forum for posts on that; it’s not trivial to set up, but there are some good examples/configurations.
