pay per article

[rorodio]

Hi Michael,

We are testing the Paypal plugin for processing payments and noticed that we are having issues with "Pay Per Article".
Right now, using pay per article gives payee access to ALL Journal articles (Current or Archived), Open access or Subscription/Fee Access configured.
It is appearing as if the user is granted subscription access. Our installation is OJS version: ojs-2.3.3-3

I already checked this section : Home > User > Editor > Issues > [Issue #] > Issue Data
and Access Status is set to "Subscription"
and Open access date checkbox is checked and the date is a future date.

Is there any other setting we forgot?
Or can this be a bug?

Thanks,
Rachelle

Hi Rachelle,

Are you using custom galley identifiers in place of the OJS defaults? There's a known bug with these and subscription authentication and you may need to patch your install if this applies.

The other thing to check is the actual table of contents for the issue. All of the articles that require subscription should be marked as 'Default'.

Cheers,
Michael

Hi Michael,

How do I check "custom galley identifiers" in this case? Most of the customization was done by Joanne and I only did the installation.
Also, upon checking the Table of Contents Access column, and all of the articles are set to "Default".
Can you point me to the patch and maybe i can try installing it?

Thanks,
Rachelle

Hi Rachelle,

To check whether you're using custom galley ids you can (as Editor) select a published article in the ToC, go to editing, and then click on 'Edit' for one of your galleys. In essence, rather than using the OJS default galley id (a number) you can set custom galley ids (e.g. 'pdf or 'html') for each galley. The corresponding URLs for the galleys in your ToC change from e.g. .../view/1234/567 to .../view/1234/html

There's a patch attached to the above bug report.

Cheers,
Michael

Thanks Michael,

It seems that we are hitting that bug.
Some of the issues are using the default OJS ids while the current issues are using the customized public id.
Can you direct me patch for this bug and documentation on how to patch it up.
Appreciate your immediate response.
Happy Easter!

Cheers,
Rachelle

Hi Michael,

Thanks for the information.
I have tried modifying the ArticleHandler.inc.php file as mentioned in the bug 6458 details, unfortunately after clicking on a PDF file to test whether the changes are successful, no page is displayed. It seems that the galley information is not picked up. In addition to this, I also noticed that Jo actually configured only the "Current Issues" to have a customized galley id, while the archived articles to have the default numeric galley id. Looking at the changes, I know it shouldn't matter since it accepts both integer and string.

I'm not sure what else I'm missing. Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Rachelle

Hi Rachelle,

A blank page is often indicative of a PHP syntax error. Try checking your apache error log or perhaps open the file in an editor that will highlight syntax errors (eg Eclipse, Aptana).

Hi David,

Can you please provide some context here? I'm not sure what this is in reference to.
