[OMP 3.1] Display only series with content

Software Support Open Monograph Press

Since I have many series connected to a publisher most of them are (for now) empty and not connected to any book. Is there a way to display a series only when there is a title/book connected to it?

Hi @lcbossert

There is no such possibility per default – you would need to implement it…

Hi @bozana,

could you point out where to look at in the code? Thank you!

Hi @lcbossert

Here all the series are retrieved: omp/BrowseBlockPlugin.inc.php at omp-3_1_0-0 · pkp/omp · GitHub
You could either
a) walk through each series there, get the published monographs for each series something like this
$publishedMonographDao = DAORegistry::getDAO(‘PublishedMonographDAO’);
$publishedMonographs = $publishedMonographDao->getBySeriesId($series->getId(), $press->getId());
and only consider/leave those series that have some published monographs
or
b) if possible, write a new function i.e. SQL query in the SeriesDAO to retrieve only the series with a published monograph and use that function (instead of getByPressId) on the code line above.

Best,
Bozana
