Audio & Video

[fazio]

Hi to all,

i'm tryng to include an audio file into an HTML article, in order to be linked and listened with a link on the article.
I thought that this audio file could be uploaded as a supplementary file, but there's no easy way to create a reference from the article to the audio file, am i right or i'm missing something?

thanks

Riccardo

Hi Riccardo,

This part of OJS isn't particularly well-documented, but you can link from an HTML document to a supplementary file as follows:

• In Journal Setup, make sure the option labelled "Custom identifiers will be used to identify supplemental article files" is enabled. (You'll probably also want to assign custom public IDs to articles, although OJS's normal article IDs can be used.)
• Assign a public identifier to the supplementary file as Editor. (This should be available in the supplementary file's Edit page.)
• In your HTML galley, you can use URLs of the following form:

  Code: Select all

  ojs://suppfile/(publicArticleId)/(publicSupplementaryFileId)

  ...where (publicArticleId) and (publicSupplementaryFileId) are the article's ID and the supplementary file's public identifier, respectively.

Let me know if you need any more information.

hi alec,

thank you for help but i still got problems.
i tried to use url as you wrote, but it didn't work.
i used this expression: <a href="ojs://132/333"></a>
it is correct?
i looked at the source code and i found this function that replace a string, but i didn't understand the meaning of reg exp
$contents = String::regexp_replace_callback(
'/(<[^<>]*")[Oo][Jj][Ss]:\/\/([^"]+)("[^<>]*>)/',

thank you

Hi Riccardo,

Try "ojs://suppfile/132/333".

Hi Riccardo,

What version of OJS are you using? What is the URL getting rewritten into? Also, double-check that your link is properly quoted with double-quotes, e.g:

<a href="ojs://suppfile/132/333">link name</a>

hi Alec,

i'm using Ojs2.1.1 and the URL is ojs://suppfile/133/555, I think that i'm losing something in HTML code and so hte URL can not be resolved.
I write again this part of code:
<a href="ojs://suppfile/133/555" _base_target="_self">linkname</a>

thank you for your patience and support

Hi Riccardo,

Hmm, this should be working. Could you send me a URL where I can view the article in OJS?
