OCS and Wordpress

There are a lot of documentation about OJS and Wordpress integration. I searched but didn’t find any topic about OCS Wordpress integration.
Is it possible or not?

Hi @asena,

Can you describe what kind of integration you’re interested in?

Hi @asena and @asmecher,

recently saw the good news of the upcoming OCS update. We’ve been gathering with a group on improving a certain conference’s workflow and are happy to hear that there’s development planned!

Are there plans or possibilities to integrate OCS (or other conference & review platforms) to a WordPress publishing site, for example via a plug-in infrastructure?

Thanks!

Hi @Erwin,

We don’t have concrete integration plans, but we do hope to release PKP software including REST API starting soon, and that’ll be useful for integration projects in general.

Hi @asmecher,

It looks like OJS3 now offers a REST-based API. Would you be able to point to the corresponding API documentation?

And for OCS, do you have an update on when OCS may have an API too?

Many thanks in advance.

Hi @Jagerhorn,

There’s a Swagger document that describes the API endpoints; see https://github.com/pkp/ojs/blob/master/docs/dev/swagger.yaml. We don’t currently have plans to release an API for OCS; we would first need to update OCS to our newer platform, which hasn’t happened yet. However, all of our software permits endpoints to be exposed via custom gateway plugins.
