OCS: Can I add the review system to an existing web page?

Software Support

I am using an existing web page for our conference and would like to use OCS as a tool for the review process. Can I add the review system to our web page? Or is there any other way to do so, eg using OJS?

Cheers

Hi @sandra,

You can link your existing web page to an OCS installation, so users can submit work and register using OCS but coming from your existing page. You can also work on the OCS visual to make it look like your current page.

Another (much more complex and dirty) alternative is to use iframe to load the OCS pages inside your existing page, but you would have to remove a lot of HTML elements from OCS page to make that work properly.

I would suggest you to go with the first option.

Hi beghelli,

thanks for your suggestions.

You can link your existing web page to an OCS installation, so users can
submit work and register using OCS but coming from your existing page.

That would mean, I have two domains and use a link from my web page (domain1) the OCS installation (domain2)?

@sandra
You don’t need a different domain. You can install OCS and run it under the same domain, using a different path in the server, then the urls will be something like this:

www.mydomain.com - you existing site
www.mydomain.com/ocs - OCS installation
