Review upload issue with fatal error

[bronskyblu]

Hi James,
as promised a my conference reviewer found another issue: evidently the upgrade from 2.1.2.1 to 2.3.3.1 was not perfect. Anyway I prefere to refer to his own words (he's a reviewer that try to upload his comments on a paper):

"The problem is when I try to save the recommendation (accept,.....reject) and the score from 0 to 100. When I try to save the message is the following:

Fatal error: Call to a member function getDateAssigned() on a non-object in /ocs/classes/submission/reviewAssignment/ReviewAssignmentDAO.inc.php on line 486"

I saw the bug report http://pkp.sfu.ca/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=5373 that seems quite similar (and I hope the similar solution).

Any idea to solve it or go around? My bigger problem, as you know, is that I cannot access the server as admin (so I can play in someway with the configuration but I am not enabled to use command line tools and to run any exe prog) and this limit me with patches use.


Thanks

Hi Gabriele,

Strange -- I don't think that that is the same problem, unfortunately, as the bug report and fix was assigned against an older version of OCS. Could you open the problem file (/ocs/classes/submission/reviewAssignment/ReviewAssignmentDAO.inc.php) via FTP, and see what is on line 486?

Cheers,
James

Hi James, luckily it seems that this problem does not persist anymore: when I tried to submit the review (as reviewer) anything went fine. So now I don't know how that issue arise.

Anyway, this is what I found on line 486 of the selected file (/ocs/classes/submission/reviewAssignment/ReviewAssignmentDAO.inc.php):

$this->datetimeToDB($reviewAssignment->getDateAssigned()), $this->datetimeToDB($reviewAssignment->getDateNotified()), $this->datetimeToDB($reviewAssignment->getDateConfirmed()), $this->datetimeToDB($reviewAssignment->getDateCompleted()), $this->datetimeToDB($reviewAssignment->getDateAcknowledged()), $this->datetimeToDB($reviewAssignment->getDateDue()), $this->datetimeToDB($reviewAssignment->getDateRated()), $this->datetimeToDB($reviewAssignment->getLastModified()), $this->datetimeToDB($reviewAssignment->getDateReminded())),

Thanks,
