Context: OJS 3.3.0.14
I need help with the forthcoming plugin.
After reading instructions here (GitHub - ajnyga/forthcoming: OJS3 plugin for showing forthcoming articles) and doing several tests on a local instance and also on PKP’s test drive, I invariably get inconclusive results. So the first step, that is assigning an article to a forthcoming published issue, works fine : the article appears as expected under the “forthcoming” page and is identified as being in the “forthcoming” issue on its landing page. I didn’t see the need to assign a DOI to this version as part of my tests.
e.g.: https://demo.publicknowledgeproject.org/ojs3/testdrive/index.php/testdrive-journal/forthcoming
Where it gets tricky is when I try to create a new version of the article, assign that version to an issue to come, add a DOI to it, and then publish said issue. My article then ends up in the ToC of that issue, as I would expect, but the landing page for the article still shows indication that it belongs to the “forthcoming” issue :-(, and the article continues to appear in the list of “forthcoming” articles.
In the dashboard, the second version is still marked as “Scheduled” eventhough the issue was published…
What am I doing wrong? Have I not understood how the plugin works? Can anyone give me details of each step involved in achieving a conclusive result? Thanks for your help.
