OJS plugins · OJS
Give every issue of your OJS journal a clean, modern table of contents: article cards or a wide-card list, light or dark, and great on phones. The plugin is free to download, with no account and no licence. A premium licence adds honest Open Access and usage badges, your brand colour and a year selector for the archive.
Works with 3.5.0-2, 8.2
OJS shows each issue as a long, plain list. AT Issue Display turns it into clean article cards (or one wide card per article), with cover images, titles and buttons that line up across every row, and one column on phones. It works on the issue page and on the current issue on your home page, and it respects your theme’s fonts and colours.
Free to download, premium when you need it. Click Download free version and install it like any OJS plugin: the cards, the wide-card list, the colours and covers work straight away, no account or licence needed. When you want the badges, your own colour and the year archive, buy a premium licence for your journal and paste the key into the free AT Gateway. Premium switches on in the plugin you already have, with your settings kept.
It only changes the look. Titles, links, PDFs, DOIs and every citation tag stay exactly as your theme makes them, so Google Scholar, Crossref, DOAJ and OAI harvesters see the same pages as before.

Per-journal licence: Each journal that switches the plugin on uses one seat. Install AT Gateway (free), add the key once under Administration › Site Settings › Plugins › AT Gateway; journals are activated automatically while seats are free. Each seat is the journal's address (host + journal path, e.g. example.org/myjournal); whole-installation licences count the host only.
How this plugin is activated: AT Gateway (free) activates and checks the licence. Once a day it sends to Altechmind's licence server: a signature made with the licence key (never the key in clear text), the product, your site and journal address (one seat per journal), and the OJS and PHP versions.
AT Issue Display itself sends nothing anywhere. It adds no cookies, analytics or tracking. View and download badges read the usage statistics OJS already stores on your server. No reader, author or article data leaves your site.
₹2,499 for one journal, ₹5,999 for three and ₹8,999 for five, including GST, as a one-time payment with 2 years of updates and support. Launch offer until 30 November 2026: ₹1,499, ₹3,499 and ₹4,999 (incl. GST).
Yes. The plugin itself is free: download it from the product page (no account, no licence). The card and wide-card list layouts, card styles, colours (light, dark or the reader's device; lime or classic blue), covers and the home page style work without a licence. A premium licence adds the badges, your own accent colour and the archive year selector, plus 2 years of updates and support.
Buy a licence, install the free AT Gateway and paste the key there. Premium switches on in the same plugin: nothing to uninstall or reinstall, and your settings are kept.
No. Article pages, citation tags, OAI-PMH, feeds, sitemaps and How to cite stay byte-for-byte the same with the plugin on or off. We test this on a real OJS 3.5 before every release.
No. It adds a stylesheet and, for premium, a badge row through OJS's own hooks. Switch it off and your journal looks exactly as before.
Cards and the list work with the Default theme and themes built on it, such as Manuscript. With Classic and Health Sciences the theme keeps its own list and the badges and year selector are added. It never breaks a page.
From the usage statistics OJS already collects. Nothing is tracked by the plugin. Counts update when OJS processes its statistics (daily) and are cached for up to 6 hours; zero counts are hidden.
Only when readers can open the article without a subscription: the journal is open access, the issue or article is open, or the issue's open-access date has passed. Subscription articles never get it.
Yes. Phones get one column with no sideways scrolling. Choose light, dark, or follow the reader's device.
Yes, with a licence. Pick any colour; text drawn in it is darkened or lightened automatically so it stays readable.
It adds a Year menu above the issue archive with every year you published in. Choosing a year lists all issues of that year on one page. That page is marked noindex so search engines don't see duplicates.
The journal shows the free layout; nothing published is hidden and your premium settings are kept. After 2 years premium keeps working; renewing only brings updates and support.
Only for premium. AT Gateway is free; your site administrator installs it once for the whole site and enters the licence key there.
No noticeable difference in our tests. Badge counts use one grouped query per page with a 6-hour cache, and the licence check is local with no network call.
Yes. Every setting, the enabled state and your licence seat are kept, and we test the upgrade from the previous release with real data before every release.
