Hi @Francesco
Those links do not exist any more. Several 2.4.x setup fields are now meant to be just in one field “About the Journal” in 3.x (s. Settings > Journal).
Hi,
I noticed that in OJS3, the “About the journal” page displays the contents of the “About the Journal” section of the “Masthead” tab in the “Settings > Journal” menu of the manager.
This information is stored in the “journal_settings” table in the “setting_name = ‘about’” field.
And this information doesn’t exist under OJS2.
At the University of Bordeaux, our journals use for the same purpose in OJS2 the content of the “Journal history” section in the manager’s setup 1 which is found in t…
Hi @hcl ,
Our motivation in removing those sections was to simplify the Setup areas (which were getting horrendously long) and simultaneously provide greater flexibility in presentation. This does potentially mean a little bit more caretaking in Setup when the roles change, but so far this seems to be a fair trade-off.
For migrating your existing journals, we may further automate the move of content from the OJS 2.x style into the OJS 3.x style – but until then one option would be to copy/paste…
At the moment, you would have to manually copy and paste those texts from OJS 2.4.x into the “About the Journal” filed in OJS 3.0.2. We will consider some automatic copying/migration soon, you can track the corresponding issue here: Concatenate "about" content during OJS2 to OJS3 migration · Issue #2392 · pkp/pkp-lib · GitHub
Best,
