[ernesto]

We had the folling error when we tray to assign a Section Editor to one article:

Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in /var/www/namejournal/ojs/classes/mail/ArticleMailTemplate.inc.php on line 55

Hi Ernesto,

Odd -- is this a stock installation of OJS 2.1.0-1, or have you modified any of the classes?

Hi Ernesto,

Could you double-check to make sure that your template compile path (cache/t_compile) and its contents are writable by the web server's user?

Hi Alec:

It's a clean installation 2.1.0.1 and we have not modified any of the classes

We can add an Editor and also several Section Editors with 0 active reviews but the problem comes when we want to add one Section Editors with 10 active works. The email to the section editor is not generated and get the Fatal error.

p.e.
http://.../editor/assignEditor?articleId=16&editorId=89
...the Section Editor 89 is added

http://.../editor/assignEditor?articleId=&editorId=4
... the Section Editor 4 is not added and the Falta error is shown.

I can deceive the system if i add the arcicleID=16 on the browser

I know that is very strange.

I have found the bug. It is on the second page of the Select Section Editor.
The links of ASSIGN of all that section editor second page do not add the articleID=number

Hello Ernesto,

Thanks -- see http://pkp.sfu.ca/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=2173 for the Bugzilla entry and a patch against OJS 2.1.0-1. This is easy to correct -- find the line (approx. line 78) in templates/editor/selectSectionEditor.tpl that looks like:

Code: Select all

<td colspan="3" align="right">{page_links name="editors" iterator=$editors searchField=$searchField searchMatch=$searchMatch search=$search dateFromDay=$dateFromDay dateFromYear=$dateFromYear dateFromMonth=$dateFromMonth dateToDay=$dateToDay dateToYear=$dateToYear dateToMonth=$dateToMonth}</td>

Add an attribute to the page_links call called articleId:

Code: Select all

<td colspan="3" align="right">{page_links name="editors" iterator=$editors searchField=$searchField searchMatch=$searchMatch search=$search dateFromDay=$dateFromDay dateFromYear=$dateFromYear dateFromMonth=$dateFromMonth dateToDay=$dateToDay dateToYear=$dateToYear dateToMonth=$dateToMonth articleId=$articleId}</td>
