OpenScholar

This group should probably have more organizers. See documentation on this recommendation.

OpenScholar represents a paradigm shift in how the personal academic and research web sites are created and maintained. Built on the open-source framework Drupal, OpenScholar makes it possible to create academic web sites in a matter of seconds. Each web site comes with a suite of powerful tools from which users can facilitate the creation, distribution, and preservation of knowledge faster and more efficiently than ever before.
OpenScholar allows users to create genuine, feature-rich web sites on the fly in seconds and is designed to host an unlimited number of web sites in a single installation.

Just ran across this recently. I haven't had a chance to dig into it, but thought I'd pass it along to others that might find it interesting.

Issue with customising a department vsite's home page in OpenScholar D7

Posted by Sushil2631 on November 8, 2014 at 9:49am

Hi there,
I have latest openscholar + drupal 7.31 installation. I have the main site and 5 department sites and many more personal sites. I need to display a view generated block on the main site and not on the rest of the vsites. Currently view created block is appearing on the front page of the main site + front page of all the department and personal vsites. Can anyone provide some help on "How to display blocks on a specific vsite's front page but not on others" .

I have been stuck with this issue for a long time. Any help much appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

Page Redirect in OpenScholar

Posted by angelb on August 15, 2014 at 6:22pm

Hi All,

I was wondering what other people use to redirect OpenScholar sites to other non-OpenScholar sites (say a faculty member leaves and they want this site to redirect to their new one).

Do you use a Drupal module to do this? We are running the latest OS version (3.15, Drupal 7).

Thanks in advance for your time and help.

[Solved] Default page doesn't accept relative URL

Posted by sedroca on May 8, 2014 at 2:55pm

My OpenScholar site consists of a department site and subsites under it for lines of research, facilities and faculty, researchers and students.

Rather than have the site-url go to the standard OpenScholar login at http://site-url/home I wanted it to go to the department site which is at site-url/department.

It seemed from reading that what I wanted to do was change the default home page.

Admin/Configuration/System:Site-information has a section called Front Page which shows the default front page.

[Solved] Slow page loads related to database logging

Posted by sedroca on May 7, 2014 at 8:30pm

I have been seen extremely slow page loads, on the order of 20 seconds for a simple front page.

In order to figure out what was going on I enabled the Query Log by navigating to Configuration/Development:DevelSettings and checking "Display query log" and below checking "Display page timer" and "Display memory usage." Of course, "Save Configuration."

[No solution] Upgrade to 3.12.1 completed with warnings and errors

Posted by sedroca on April 7, 2014 at 1:14am

Hi,

I completed an upgrade to 3.12.1.

There were some warnings at the beginning of the process and many more at the end, some in the yellowish box with the yellow triangle with an exclamation mark and others in the pink box with a red hexagon with an X.

Should I be worried about these warnings (errors?)?
If so, are there known solutions?

The warnings (errors?):

EntityMetadataWrapperException: Unknown data property og_group_ref.

Posted by mvrweb on November 19, 2013 at 4:51am

Hi,

I am using Open Scholar. I created a content type called "Project" which has a field called "Team Members". This field is an entity reference to the "Person" content type. Rest of the fields in "Project" are text fields. While saving the content created based on "Project" content type, I get the following exception message

Notice: Undefined index: entity keys in entity_views_field_definition() (line 196 of .../profiles/openscholar/modules/contrib/entity/views/entity.views.inc).

Posted by mvrweb on November 18, 2013 at 8:40pm

Hi,

I am new to Drupal and OpenScholar. I am using OpenScholar to build an academic website for our research lab. I created new content types such as People, Projects, Funding. I want them to function in the same way as existing content types such as Publications, News etc i.e., it allows us to create new content of that particular type by using "Add New" link.

1) How can this be done for my custom content types?

Problens to migrate OpenScholar from 2.0:RC1 to 7.x-3.8.1

Posted by rauf547 on November 18, 2013 at 7:00pm

Hi everybody,

It's possible migrate from OpenScholar 2.0:RC1 to version 7.x-3.8.1 ? And how to do it?

I was following the recipe:
https://github.com/openscholar/openscholar/wiki/Migrating-openscholar-fr...,

But the os_migrate module isn't present in the 7.x-3.8.1 version, I only found the os_migrate module in the branch SCHOLAR-3.1 on GitHub, so I copied the module and installed on 7.x-3.8.1, however when I access the admin/content/migrate after configure the module I get the message error below:

Upgrade from 7.x-3.5.0 to 7.x-3.8.1: How to do it in a easy way?

Posted by marcelolaia on October 21, 2013 at 11:12am

Dear OS lovers,

I would like to upgrade from my 7.x-3.5.0 to 7.x-3.8.1. Drupal version is 7.22.

How is the easy way to do that?

I could extract the 7.x-3.8.1, upload to the server and run the upgrade.php script located on the drupal root dir?

Thank you very much.

PaxHeader folder in prebuilt packages

Posted by t6nis20 on September 12, 2013 at 1:48pm

I tried to download 3.7.4 and 3.6.0 prebuilt packages from http://openscholar.harvard.edu/download
But all the zip's included PaxHeader folder with duplicate files, maybe a virus? Or maybe something went wrong with prebuilt package creation?

This does not seem right to me or there is nothing to worry about?

Adding a "Dissertations Supervised" section

Posted by mlapl1 on August 28, 2013 at 9:33am

Hello

I have an OpenScholar site and would like to add a section similar to "Classes" but related to dissertations I supervise. How would I go about doing this? Is there an app for this? Or something else built-in?

I suppose I can always create a static page... may be the fastest (and simplest) solution.

Any advice would be very welcome.
