Describe the issue or problem
Im trying to export a XML but can’t change the metadata to a conference proceedings i can’t find any option on OJS website, tried installing conference publisher plugin but it says (The “exec” PHP function has been disabled on your server. Contact your system adminstrator to enable it.)

Steps I took leading up to the issue
For example:

  1. Go to ‘OJS website’
  2. Click on ‘plugins’
  3. Click on ‘plugins gallery’
  4. Scroll down to [Conference publishing plugin]
  5. Click on ‘install’

What application are you using?
OJS 3.3.0.14

Additional information
I see a few ways to fix this, changing all the xml manually but i guess that it wont be an easy way.
fixing the exec php function to install the plugin
or finding some option to change the metadata to conference proceedings.

Thank you for any help.

Hi @FMC_revista,

It’s possible you could do a find-and-replace for the XML, but not being familiar with your particular journal and the XML you’d export, I can’t say for certain. Your best bet may be enabling the exec PHP function, if only temporarily to install this plugin.

Hello,

We developed a plugin at Lepidus that does this and we use it internally. We will put it on github soon and notice on the forum.

After entering the name of the conference, go to the Articles menu and do the same process of registering DOIs by selecting the proceedings edition.

This is great! @abadan, do you have any plans to upgrade the plugin for 3.4 and 3.5?

We will update it to OJS 3.5. However, we don’t have a deadline.

Is it possible to integrate the plugin with the Conference publishing plugin so that location and date of the conferences could be exported to Crossref as well. Then maybe also the conference title could be added to each issue in that plugin.

Thank you for your suggestions! I’m taking notes so that our development team can include these improvements when we get back to work on it, if possible.

Also, if anyone is interested in submitting a PR or funding improvements like these, we may be able to deal with them more quickly.
