OJS 3.4.0.8
Error when a user disables notifications

If, for example, a user disables ‘Discussion activity’ notifications, a ‘blocked_notification’ record is created in the ‘notification_subscription_settings’ table and the PKPNotificationOperationManager::createNotification() function returns null because the notification type is blocked, so the call to the $mailable->allowUnsubscribe($notification) function causes a PHP error:

Description

I’d like to request the ability to restrict galley labels to a predefined set of options presented in a dropdown menu for Open Preprint Systems (OPS). Instead of allowing free-text entry for galley labels, administrators would be able to configure a list of acceptable labels (such as PDF, HTML, Word, Supplementary Materials) from which submitters must choose.

Rationale

Currently, many submitters are unfamiliar with the concept of galley labels and often apply inappropriate or inconsistent labels to their submissions. This leads to:

• Time-consuming back-and-forth communication between moderators and submitters
• Inconsistent labeling across the preprint server
• Confusion for both submitters and readers
• Additional workload for moderators who need to correct inappropriate labels

Proposed Solution

Implement a configurable dropdown menu for galley labels where:

1. Server administrators can define the allowed galley label options
2. Submitters must select from these predefined options rather than entering free text
3. The dropdown could include common options like:

• PDF
• HTML
• Word
• Supplementary Materials
• Data Set
• Code

4. The dropdown menu could be modified by the site admin to add or remove options

Benefits

• Streamlined submission process
• Consistent labeling across all preprints
• Reduced workload for moderators
• Better user experience for submitters

Technical Considerations

This could potentially be implemented as an extension of the existing galley label system, with an additional configuration option in the server settings to enable/disable restricted labels and manage the allowed options.

Would love to hear thoughts from the community on this feature request and whether others have experienced similar challenges with galley labeling.

Who is asking for this feature?

Administrator for Communications in Kinesiology journal and SportRxiv preprint server.

Describe the issue or problem
I am helping some folks upgrade from 3.3.something to 3.4.0-7

Steps I took leading up to the issue

1. after some issues, I first upgraded to ojs-3.3.0-19 → got this working fine
2. tried 3.4.0-0 but saw it had issues, so tried 3.4.0-1 but the issues persist:
   a) dealt with the unprocessed logs
   b) dealt with the InnoDB issues
3. big issues:

• ERROR: Upgrade failed: DB: SQLSTATE[42S01]: Base table or view already exists: 1050 Table ‘dois’ already exists (SQL: create table dois (doi_id bigint not null auto_increment primary key, context_id bigint not null, doi varchar(255) not null, status smallint not null default ‘1’) default character set utf8 collate ‘utf8_general_ci’)
• dropped the dois table because it was empty
• ERROR: Upgrade failed: DB: SQLSTATE[42S22]: Column not found: 1054 Unknown column ‘at.assoc_type’ in ‘where clause’ (SQL: select distinct at.type_id from announcement_types as at left join journals as c on at.assoc_id = c.journal_id where c.journal_id is null or at.assoc_type <> 256)
• I can resolve this by adding:
  • ALTER TABLE announcement_types ADD COLUMN assoc_type INT DEFAULT NULL;
  • ALTER TABLE announcement_types ADD COLUMN assoc_id BIGINT DEFAULT NULL;
• but then we get all kinds of errors about duplicate keys or other issues - I was very persistent and did all of the following

ALTER TABLE journals DROP FOREIGN KEY journals_current_issue_id_foreign;
ALTER TABLE journals DROP COLUMN current_issue_id;
ALTER TABLE journals DROP INDEX journals_current_issue_id;
ALTER TABLE issues ADD COLUMN current TINYINT(1) DEFAULT 0;

Is it possible to add to OJS a function for sending notifications to the corresponding author of a publication on the internal event “your manuscript published” with texts like “Hello, {name}! Your manuscript “{title}” has been published … bla-bla-bla… Here is a link to it {link}”? Ideally, this email would also contain a citation link provided by ‘citationStyleLanguage’, for example, in the default style.

Currently, we send such emails to authors manually, as our editor-in-chief finds the standard issue publication notification impersonal and disrespectful to the authors.

One of my journals had more than 100 failed / unprocessed submissions, which ended up exaggerating the submission IDs of the published articles.
I have deleted the incomplete submissions including those in the Archive.
My question is that after completely deleting such submissions, is there a way of reusing their ID numbers for subsequent genuine submissions?
For instance, the current submission of the 100th article has 495 as its ID. At this rate, the numbers could go to thousands.

I am using OJS 3.4.0-7

Hello everyone,

I’m working on creating a generic plugin for subscribing to notifications via email (a simple form with an email input and a submit button). So far, I’ve managed to create a form that collects email addresses and stores them in a custom table in the database.

However, I’m stuck on a couple of points:

1. How can I intercept the notification email sending hook to include the addresses from my table in the recipients?
2. Alternatively, is there a way to add a checkbox to the notify form to include these emails in outgoing notifications?

Thank you in advance,
Dmitrii

Describe the issue or problem

When a new discussion has been created with an author as a participant, the author receives an email containing a footer with three links: Reply to this comment at #651 Martínez Autor02 or unsubscribe from emails sent by journalName. The link that the ‘Reply to this comment at’ points to is being taken from the $submissionUrl variable (…/workflow/access/…) and if the author clicks on the link the application denies access: ‘You don’t currently have access to that stage of the workflow. Maybe it should be that, as this is a new discussion with the authors, the link should be taken from $authorSubmissionUrl (…/authorDashboard/submission/…)

What application are you using?

OJS 3.4.0-8

Questions

I can think of two possible solutions if:

a) is there any Hook::call registered just before sending any email to send by Laravel’s Mail framework? This way the email could be intercepted and the body could be changed. It seems to me that there is no such Hook.

b) Is there any possibility to override any of the mailables that are involved in creating a discussion in the workflow: DiscussionSubmission.php, DiscussionReview.php, etc? This way the Mailable::addFooter function could be overridden.

Many thanks in advance

Some years ago, after PayPal on our OJS 3.1.2.0 returned Error 500 with the infamous “PHP Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Interface ‘Symfony\Component\EventDispatcher\EventSubscriberInterface’ not found…” we updated composer dependencies for the PayPal plugin as described at [OJS 3.1.1.4] Paypal black page - #9 by asmecher. Everything worked fine after that and some other patching (not sure which ones - see Q3 below). In the meantime, we uninstalled PayPal and deleted its folder.

A few years later, we now want to reinclude it, so we cleaned PHP caches and, since we don’t have a backup that old, FTP-ed the /paypal folder from the original package (unzipped, since there’s no gz.tar version of the plugin within the package that OJS backend requires for installing/upgrading this plugin so we couldn’t take the upgrading route). Strangely, instead of showing it in the plugin gallery as a new plugin, OJS picked the plugin not only as present but as both installed and activated (box checked), although the /paypal folder had been gone for years.

In addition, trying to patch the readded plugin, was rejected as though the patch had already been applied. Obviously not, because clicking the PDF button of a paywalled article returns again the same Error 500 as before - meaning the patches were never applied - neither back then (as this hidden “OJS history” feature tells us) nor now.

Q1: Does OJS store (and keep forever) somewhere the information about plugin actions/old patching, which prevented us from actually patching the previously patched but now readded (should be obvious: now unpatched) plugin that in the meantime was physically removed?

Q2: Where to obtain the gz.tar paypal plugin?
