Hello, I was working on a plugin for the OJS and got some questions. I have added in a new email template for the plugin, however, after testing it for a bit and I decided to change the template, the changes never show up again. Do I have to mannually change it in the journal management section? Because I'm assuming these templates are stored in the database and they will not get updated even if I change the XML file.
thx alot
Mike

Hi Mike,
The XML file is only read when a journal is created, which is when its contents are used as defaults for the database. I'd suggest modifying the mail template in the Journal Manager's page until you're happy with it; then modify the XML file to suit and test on a fresh journal.

thx for the quick reply, hehe
1 more questions
If XML is read upon the creation of the OJS system, then does that mean any additional XML files I include in the plugins need to be installed at the installation of the OJS? Or is there a way I can load the XML files into the database.

Hi Mike,
Each different type of XML file in the system has different behaviors, so it depends on what you're trying to accomplish; locale files are re-read whenever they've been modified, email templates are read on journal installation, etc.
