Call to a member function url() on a non-object

[ramon]

Hello PKPers,

I'm running OCS 2.3.3-1 for a conference.
Everything works fine except when clicking the Director link on the user's Home Page.
This is the error displayed:

Code: Select all

Page clicked: http://myocs/index.php/conference/instance/director
Error
Fatal error: Call to a member function url() on a non-object in ocs2/pages/trackDirector/TrackDirectorHandler.inc.php on line 216

This recommended patch was applied.

PS-1: I should say that all recommended patches were applied, when possible. Some did generate errors (tried with the --dry-run option, so no .rej file to see).
PS: On another note, OCS needs to "preserve" instances of a Conference with different layouts, much like OJS does with issues. A scheduled conference cannot have a different layout from the "parent" or "siblings", but provides structure for different content. This should be in another post, though.

Hello all,

In line 216 of pages/trackDirector/TrackDirectorHandler.php I commented the code as follows and it now works:

Code: Select all

                $pageHierarchy[] = array(Request::url(null, null, 'user'), 'navigation.user');
                //$pageHierarchy[] = array($request->url(null, null, $roleSymbolic), $roleKey);


Somehow the patch creates this new line that does not actually work. Maybe it does on OJS, but not OCS.

Hi Ramón,

The patch uploaded against that bug entry was written against pre-release OCS 2.3.4 code and wouldn't apply cleanly against OCS 2.3.3. I've uploaded a patch that'll apply against OCS 2.3.3; it's a little different than the change you made and I'd suggest using it instead.
