I'm trying to create a new journal. In first step an error occurred. Picture of error was attached. Path of site was not accepted.
How can i correct this problem?
Thanks in advance.


Errors occurred processing this form:

* The path can contain only alphanumeric characters, underscores, and hyphens, and must begin and end with an alphanumeric character.


Path* http://localhost/mb

Hello Catav,

You are entering the wrong type of information in the form.
You need only to type a word, which will be used as part of the system's path.
Usually the ACRONYM of the journal is used in this situation, or something short.

This means you don't need to type the full URL (i.e, http://myserver.com/ojs2/index.php/myjournal).

All you need to type is "myjournal".

Good luck.

Hello,
I'm solved my first problem with your support. I'm try to install another OJS at my home. I use Debian lenny. Installing OJS-2.2 on my machine cause following error.

Fatal error: Call to undefined method PhpMyVisitesPlugin::getInstallSchemaFile() in /var/www/ojs-22/classes/plugins/Plugin.inc.php on line 66

Fatal error: Call to undefined method Session::getUserId() in /var/www/ojs-22/classes/session/SessionDAO.inc.php on line 92

When i was try OJS-2.1 on same box every thing ok. Is there a bug on 2.2?

Thanks in advance.

Hi catav,

How far along exactly did your journal install get before you received the error? Were you trying the manual or automatic install?

Thanks,
James

Hello,
I have two machines. One of them is debian lenny at home. Firstly i install and run OJS-2.1.1 and there was no problem. Then i decided to try OJS-2.2. I have copied related files to /var/www/ojs-22. When i trying to connect http://localhost/ojs-22 error occured.
My second machine is Debian Etch at job and same problem persist.
Both machines runs without pproblem on OJS-2.1.1. But OJS-2.2 has the error that i posted previous mail.
Thanks.

Hi catav,

Where did you get the OJS installation files from? Did you download the package directly from the PKP website?

Also, are you doing a fresh install? Or an upgrade?

Lastly, did you at any time try to add the PhpMyVisites plugin to your ojs installation?

Thanks,

Hi,
Yes, directly from the PKP website download section (How wish OJS was a native Debian package).
It was a fresh install.
No, I didn't.
Thanks.

HI catav,

Try resetting your config.inc.php to the stock version that comes with OJS (i.e. copy it from config.TEMPLATE.inc.php). When you point your browser to index.php, do you get the installation screen?

Hi,
I'm deleted all OJS2.2 files and settings. I was perform a new install process (with english and turkish language support). Related pictures attached. I have installed OJS succesfully, and login as admin user. At these step (in OJS2.2 as admin user) i want to change interface languge to turkish. System get crushed. *07.jpg pictures shows it.
When i try to new install primary language as turkish, i can't login to sytem. Same error occured.
I think there was a problem to turkish language support in OJS2.2. OJS2.1 running without an error.
Thanks.

Hi catav,

I suspect PHP's support for the Turkish locale is buggy -- or behaving in some way that we didn't anticipate, though I'm leaning towards buggy. Try commenting out the following lines in classes/i18n/Locale.inc.php (near line 102):

Code: Select all

                if (!@setlocale(LC_ALL, $sysLocale, $locale)) {
                        // For PHP < 4.3.0
                        if(setlocale(LC_ALL, $sysLocale) != $sysLocale) {
                                setlocale(LC_ALL, $locale);
                        }
                }

(Edit: In OJS 2.3.0 and newer, this edit should be made in lib/pkp/classes/i18n/PKPLocale.inc.php)

Hi Smecher,
Yes it works, but its cause a little bug. I attached two screen captures one of them in turkish (buggy screen) and others in english.
Thanks for your attention.

Hi catav,

Great, that's much better. You're seeing strings like ##some.name.here## because the Turkish locale included in OJS 2.2 is currently incomplete; if you're able to help us update that locale, I can set up an installation of OJS 2.2 including our translation tools, which will take you through the steps needed to update the locale files.

Hello Zeki,

As an "experienced" translator of OJS to portuguese, here are my tips.

A Translator Plugins is available with OJS 2.2.
As General Manager, enable the Plugin and then check the translation.
It should give you a list of problems with the main locale.xml file.

You may then move on to other locale files, for plugins, registry locales and so on.

You may edit them within OJS or download them and edit them on an XML/Text Editor (NVU or PSPad - free. I use Dreamweaver, which is paid software).
Be aware of character encoding: it SHOULD be UTF-8.
Since you're running linux, you shouldn't have a problem.

After you have completed the translation, you may submit it to the PKP team, either through the forum or their support email.

Use this command to create a compressed file (tar.gz) with all the locale files for your language:

Code: Select all

tar cvzf pt_BR.tar.gz `find . -name \*.xml | grep pt_BR`

NOTE: replace pt_BR with the ISO code for your language (which should be available in the main locale file, if you don't know!)

Good luck.

Hi Zeki,

If you complete the Turkish translation as per Ramón's, excellent instructions, you can email the zipped package directly to me at jmacgreg@gmail.com.

Again, your efforts are very much appreciated by the Public Knowledge Project, as well as by the larger OJS community.

Thanks,
James
