Unable to reset forgotten passwords

[mpkidd]

Good day

Before logging in, any user has the option of resetting their passwords by providing an email adress of a registered user. I receive the following error message if I attempt to change the password of any user:

Fatal error: Call to a member function setFrom() on a non-object in /var/www/ojs-2.2.3/pages/login/LoginHandler.inc.php on line 182

I have no idea what this means and I would appreciate it if someone could shed some light on this matter.

Thanks
Martin

Hi Martin,

This has been reported as a bug, and a fix has been posted at http://pkp.sfu.ca/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=4228. Applying the OJS 2.2.3 patch will fix the problem.

Cheers,
James

There is one more reference to the $email variable in the LoginHandler.inc.php:

Code: Select all

                $user = &$userDao->getUserByEmail($email);


Should it be changed too?

Hi forscarini,

No--that should be okay, it uses a legitimate email variable two lines up that represents the email address string drawn from the reset password form.

Cheers,
Matt

I have downloaded version 2.2.3 (not upgrade, clean install) but got the same error. Looking at the corresponding file, I noticed, the LoginHandler.inc.php was not fixed as mentioned. I thing one should put the correct file into download archieve.

in systeminfo:
Program version
Current version

2.2.3.0 (July 28, 2009 - 09:43 PM)

Latest version: 2.2.3.0 (April 9, 2009

Hi hilmiapak,

You are correct -- that fix has not been added to the downloadable tar package from the PKP website. While it is a large bug and an important issue, we normally don't repackage software for spot release that address only one fix, unless it is a critical or security bug. The fix will definitely be included in OJS 2.3, which will be released in a few weeks.

Cheers,
James
