Right now to display the abstract of an article the url is
[baseURL]/index.php/[journal]/article/view/[articleId]
How hard would it be to replace [articleId] with a user-defined mnemonic such that the following URL is also valid:
[baseURL]/index.php/[journal]/article/view/[mnemonic]
I assume another column will need to be added to the articles table as well as the appropriate form field on the create/edit article page.
This is to support a shorter and more human-readable format to be printed in an article, http://mydomain.com/articles/MyMnemonic/, that would map to the longer form (via mod_rewrite), http://mydomain.com/ojs/index.php/myjou ... yMnemonic/. Back issues already have this shorter URL printed in each article.
REQ: Look up an article by mnemonic instead of ID

Hi Brian,
This is already available; go into Journal Setup step 4 as Manager and find the section titled "Identification of Journal Content". Enable the option called "Custom identifiers will be used to identify published items." Now as Editor you should be able to assign symbolic names to articles and address them as you describe.
