Add journal issue and number to the achives section

[mhvezina]

Enhancement suggestion : I don't know if this has already been discussed or considered, but it would be very useful to display, in the section archives, the journal issue and number alongside with the already present page range or the issue date. Are the hooks already present for such additional information? Thank you.

The rendering of the article comes from the core OJS template frontend/objects/article_summary.tpl, called here:

browseBySection/templates/frontend/pages/section.tpl

Line 44 in 07444d2

{include file="frontend/objects/article_summary.tpl" section=null showDatePublished=true hideGalleys=true}

In the default theme, the pages and publication date come from publication object and are placed in a div.meta element here:
https://github.com/pkp/ojs/blob/f3a87094f9e7ab1b063b6c2a5d05b3d7446ff32e/templates/frontend/objects/article_summary.tpl#L64-L82
Changing that is relatively impractical (a developer would need to hijack and rewrite the template output, but that would be theme-dependent).

Code within the plugin could add the issue information before or after the display of the article summary by modifying the section.tpl before or after the article_summary.tpl call. This would make for an awkward presentation, however.

In all, this appears to me to be a complicated request.
