Using OMP as editorial management software

[smoore]

Hi all,

I've recently installed OMP as I'm keen to use it for the editorial process of our OA press, but not as the main webpage of our publishing house itself. We already have a list of titles on our own website and so we do not require any of the public facing 'catalogue' functions of OMP. As such, we want to use OMP simply as a submission system and editorial process manager. All of our titles will remain on our own website and we will simply link through to the submission system itself. So, my question is: can anyone foresee any problems with this approach? (For example, I can't see an easy way to link the 'catalogue' tab to our own catalogue website.) If anyone has experience in using OMP in this way I'd love to hear it.

Any other thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks,

Sam

Hi Sam,

That should work just fine -- you'll just have to hide a few links (e.g. Catalog) to avoid confusing your authors.

Hi Alec,

Thanks for the response - most appreciated. It's not immediately obvious how to hide the catalog link but I'm sure I can work it out.

All the best,

Sam

Hi Sam,

See e.g. the occurrences of:

Code: Select all

<a href="{url page="catalog"}">{translate key="navigation.catalog"}</a>

...in templates/header/localnav.tpl.
