Hello to all,
First of all: Thank you for OJS, its amazing and works great.
Now im looking for a Site to host monographs. The books are a mix between OA books and OA books after 2 years and some not OA Books.
Very important to me is the access by IP range and a open access after a certain time.
i found a very interresting post about institutional access on the old forum. But i don’t wanted to answer a 2 year old topic on the “old” website.
here
My questions are:
do the actual omp has an access by IP range instead of login
If not:
Does it come in the near future
If not(again):
Is it difficoult to add this feature and can you give me some advise to do that.
Thank you
Robert
Hi @rob_narr,
OMP doesn’t yet support IP-based access limitations, and actually, this is probably the first time we’ve been asked about it.
However, that’s a common requirement for OJS, and we’re working hard to prepare OJS 3.0b for release; OJS 3.0b and OMP share a tremendous amount of code.
We’re targeting subscription/IP-based access for a follow-up to OJS 3.0, which won’t be due for perhaps a year. Once that’s available, it’ll mean that IP-based access controls are either available in OMP, or can be very easily ported and applied there from the OJS codebase.
Long story short, if you need IP-based access control before then, you’ll need to find a local work-around. In order to do that, you’ll need to control access to a few functions in pages/catalog/CatalogBookHandler.inc.php – that’s where requests for the public-facing catalog for a particular book are handled.
