OCS submission questions?

Is it possible for the authors to complete an incomplete submission?
Can an author modify the submission? or Can a director send a submission back to authors if it is not complete?

Hi @wenbin,

Yes, authors should be able to complete incomplete submissions.

Whether or not authors can edit submissions is determined by the AuthorAction::mayEditPaper function:

github.com

pkp/ocs/blob/ocs-2_3_6-0/classes/submission/author/AuthorAction.inc.php#L294


		if (!HookRegistry::call('AuthorAction::downloadAuthorFile', array(&$paper, &$fileId, &$revision, &$canDownload, &$result))) {
			if ($canDownload) {
				return Action::downloadFile($paper->getId(), $fileId, $revision);
			} else {
				return false;
			}
		}
		return $result;
	}

	function mayEditPaper(&$authorSubmission) {
		$schedConf =& Request::getSchedConf();
		if (!$schedConf || $schedConf->getId() != $authorSubmission->getSchedConfId()) {
			unset($schedConf);
			$schedConfDao =& DAORegistry::getDAO('SchedConfDAO');
			$schedConf =& $schedConfDao->getSchedConf($paper->getSchedConfId());
		}

		// Directors acting as Authors can always edit.
		if (Validation::isDirector($schedConf->getConferenceId(), $schedConf->getId()) || Validation::isTrackDirector($schedConf->getConferenceId(), $schedConf->getId())) return true;

Hi Alec, I need your advice.
In my OCS “Submission in review,” it has 29 items, but I can see only 25 items (1 - 25 of 29 Items) there’s no link to see the next page. What could be wrong?Thank you.

Hi @rena,

This thread is old, and not the same as your question. Could you post as a new topic? That’ll help to keep the forum organized. Include all relevant details, e.g. your version of OCS.
