fatal error when viewing abstract

[linde111]

Hi Alec,

We get the following error on the abstract page after clicking an abstract link on the issue page:

Fatal error: Call to a member function getAbstractsDisabled() on a non-object in /usr/local/etc/webroot/virtual/ojs-test/ojs2/cache/t_compile/%%38^38D^38D7420B%%article.tpl.php on line 106

See also: http://relief-test.library.uu.nl/index. ... le/view/16

We've got no clue yet how to solve this problem.

Thanks,

Hi Gerard,

It looks like your article isn't assigned to a section; probably either the section was deleted, or the submission was imported from an OJS 1.x journal which sometimes allowed sectionless articles. Go to the submission's Summary page and assign it to a section; that should correct the problem.

Hi Alec,

We have a fresh new install, and section etc is filled in and chosen, but get the exact same error.
Thought I would mention this, seeing as I am struggling to find a quick fix, and Gerhard seemingly also still requires a fix ( and shares my surname )
This is for 2.2.2

Edit: Oh, I see this has been over a year ago, damn.

New info on this bug:

/index.php/JEMDSA/manager/editSection/1
(Journal Manager, Sections, NEWS-edit)

The second checkbutton is:
##manager.sections.abstractsDisabled##

Surely something is broken in the code surrounding this "getAbstracts" function?

Hi Marlon,

Are you sure this is a clean 2.2.2 installation? Was it upgraded from an earlier release, and if so, how? If you get ##something.like.this##, it means that the locale key by that name couldn't be found in the locale file (typically locale/en_US/locale.xml).

Hi Alec,

After what you said, we did a clean/new install.
You can add, but when you do an edit meta data later, the same error occurs.
This is 2.2.2, and I am fairly certain that it's a minor bug somewhere, but it isn't coming to me.

What it comes down to, is editing meta data, gives you the form, everything looks fine, and at the end of the page, you get the error:

url: index.php/JEMDSA/editor/viewMetadata/22

Error:
Fatal error: Call to undefined method Section::getAbstractsDisabled() in /home/trudie/public_html/OJS/JEMDSA2/ojs-2.2.2/cache/t_compile/%%58^58F^58F971B1%%metadataEdit.tpl.php on line 278

I hope that someone can assist me on this, so we can find a fix.

Hi Marlon,

There must be some old code hanging around; for OJS 2.2.2, the getAbstractsDisabled() function was renamed to getAbstractsNotRequired. The getAbstractsDisabled function no longer appears anywhere in the OJS 2.2.2 codebase.

Mornings.

Apparently so.

If that is the case, then the old function name is being referenced still, alot.

Code: Select all

Any advice?
I'm thinking, grep and subsitute all <oldname> with <newname> of the function

PS: the above is on a new 2.2.2 install

oh. Doh....
Crud...



riiiight.

I get this bug too. Rare repro step:

1) Modify section so that the Indexing option "Do not require abstracts" is checked to true.
2) Create a submission
3) View summary by going to editor > submissions > (unassigned) > [number of submission] > summary
4) Scroll down, click on Edit Metadata

I couldn't reproduce this after the first time. Was there a resolution? The previous post hinted at some kind of insight.
