Manipulate the download link

[Szdnez]

Hey,

I want to "manipulate" the links that are generated to downald e.g. a pdf of an article. For example

Code: Select all

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="2;URL=http://localhost/ojs/index.php/MyMagazin/article/download/1/1"/>

in interstitial.tpl should look like this

Code: Select all

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="2;URL=http://vg07.met.vgwort.de/na/46077f60b9fce26ee4ff9008ca6978?l=http://localhost/ojs/index.php/MyMagazin/article/download/1/1"/>

I do not want to edit interstitial.tpl or the Request::url() (where the link is generated) because this are system files/classes. But I have no idea how could I do this in another way. Can I register a plugin to do this (which hook?) ? Or are there other technics?

Thanks for your help

Hi Szdnez,

Honestly, I would just edit the template and keep track of the change for when you upgrade (since it is such a simple fix). If you wanted to do this with a plugin, you could do it with an output filter plugin (see for example the SEHL plugin in plugins/generic/sehl/)... These plugins take OJS' output and allow you to filter it and make modifications (so it would wait for the <meta> tag and then output something else).

Cheers,
Matt

Thanks for the advice. It is quite ugly to parse the html code but it works now without manipulating any core classes. And for the future, do not change interstitial.tpl or pdfInterstitial.tpl
