checkboxes for keywords

[svillanueva]

Hello,

I'm starting to implement a modification on the OJS code in order to show a list of checkboxes for the authors to index their articles with keywords. The idea (i'm not sure whether this is feasible or not) is to build the checkboxes as the examples are read from $currentJournal->getLocalizedSetting('metaSubjectExamples') and then, every click on the checkboxes would add that keyword onto the textbox (which could be hiden).

So I would need to implement those functions in php or Smarty Templates to control those checks... i've tried to write some strtok test code between <?php and ?> but it doesn't seem to work...

Any guidelines to do this?


Many thanks,

Sergi Villanueva.

Well, I have developed this with javascript funcions, but I have a little doubt. I have a function that completes the subject textbox adding the value of a new textbox I've created, to the subject textbox... I call this function in the save&continue button (in author/step2.tlp) with the next sentence:

<input type="submit" value="{translate key="common.saveAndContinue"}" class="button defaultButton" onClick="additionalMetaData()"/>

do you see any problem with this? I mean, will this interfere in the OJS operation?



Thank you,

Sergi Villanueva.
