QuickSubmit Plugin not installing

Software Support
1

Hi - We’ve recently installed OJS 3.1.1.2 and are havimg problems getting the Quicksubmit to install.

When we attempt to do this from the gallery, it just hangs on the ‘Are you sure you wish to install this plugin’ warning (pressing OK does nothing.

I’ve had a look at our error logs and we appear to have some issues.

Could someone have a look at the following and suggest what I might need to do to get this running?

Thanks.

Hi @SKP,

This may be an issue with file permissions - you need to make sure that OJS has enough permissions to add files to subdirectories of plugins. There’s a FAQ entry in this forum about permissions.

Well, I seem to have installed Quicksubmit by putting the correctly named directory (and contents) from GitHUb in the import folder

I don’t think it was anything to do with file permissions (though I did go through making sure they were 750/700).

Thanks for your help.

I’m glad it worked out!

Hi,
I have the same problem with Quicksubmit installation - there is a warning “Are you sure you wish to install this plugin?” and nothing happens after pressing OK.

After that I have downloaded files form GitHub (GitHub - pkp/quickSubmit) and put them in import/export folder. Now I can see the plugin in Tools → Import/Export and in Installed Plugins but after trying to open it the error 500 appears.

What can I do?
Tahnk you
