Multiple Reviewer automatic reminder in OJS

[pilasou]

As an editor, I want to be able to configure multiples occurrences of reminder to be sent to reviewers.

Those configurations are added to the Review setup page (Settings > Workflow > Review) as shown below:

The editor can configure the number of occurrences for the reminders both for the invitation and the evaluation report.

No specific emails templates will be added. Already existing one are used (Review Reminder (Automated))

How to test

Configuring the reminders

1. Go to Settings, Workflow, Review, Set up
2. Ensure to set short delay in Default Response Deadline and Default Completion Deadline (or ensure to change dates when inviting a reviewer)
3. For reminder on the invitation:

• In Response Reminder, enter 1 (the reminder will be trigger one day after deadline)
• and in “Number of occurrences for the response reminder” enter at least 2

6. For reminder on the review report:

• In Review Reminder enter 1 (the reminder will be trigger one day after deadline)
• In “Number of occurrences for the review reminder” enter at least 2
• Save changes

Testing the reminders

On invitation

1. Invite a new reviewer (with valid email adress) and ensure that the delay to respond to the invitation is the next day
2. 24h later the first reminder should be send to the review email adress
3. 48h later, the second one should be send.

On review reports

1. Invite a new reviewer (with valid adresse) and ensure that the delay to send the report is the next day)
2. Connect as reviewer, and accept the evaluation
3. 24h later the first reminder should be send to the review email adress
4. 48h later, the second one should be send.

@nibou230, thanks, I added a couple of comments to the PRs above! They are very minor -- this looks good, thanks.

Hi, This issue would be mostly resolved by 5885, if a configurable additional reminder is implemented (#5885 (comment)).
