A kludge to filter out members from the editorial team

[gsk3]

If you want people to have certain powers but not to show up in the About:Editorial Team page (e.g. for a Journal Manager who should be able to see what's coming in, etc. like an editor but is not part of the team per se), try this:

in "includes/functions.inc.php", add
------
//Filter Name from filtered array passed by editorialTeam()
function filterNames ($name) {
return($name->getFullName()!="Bob G. Marley"); }
------
obviously change Bob G. Marley to whoever you want to filter.


Then in "pages/about/AboutHandler.inc.php", add
------
//Added to filter a name from the editorial team page (function is in functions.inc.php)
$editors = array_filter($editors,"filterNames");
------
just after "$editors = &$editors->toArray();" in the editorialTeam function.
Do the same thing for any section you want to filter from (e.g. section editors, etc., just change $editors to $sectionEditors or whatever as appropriate.

Hope this helps someone.

Hi Ari,

FYI, the Editorial Board feature from OJS 1.x will be included in our next release, which is due at the end of January. This means you'll be able to fully customize a journal's masthead through the Journal Manager's interface.
