Problems with quick submit plugin

[rosagabriela]

Hello,

I use version 2.3.4 of OJS, and I'm trying to publish the first articles by using the quick submit plugin, but when I click the "save" button, I get the following message: "Fatal error: Call to a member function getFileId() on a non-object in /web/periodicos/classes/submission/editor/EditorAction.inc.php on line 124". What does it mean?

Thanks,
Gabriela Rosa de Abreu

P.S.: Please forgive me if there is something wrong with the English, cause I'm from Brazil...

Hello!
I've configured few additional journals and have tried to publish some journals through the quickSubmit plugin.
After pressing "Save" button I see blank screen. The article goes to editing without assigned issue (I'm selecting the current issue in plugin).
Here is the error log:

Code: Select all

Is it a bug?

Hi Garant,

What version of OJS are you using?

Hi!
I'm running the 2.3.8.0 version.
P.S. With the first configured, main journal this plugin worked perfectly. Only one time I discovered that bug... But with others recently configured journals it is permanent

[Garant]

Hi!
Today is my bug hunt day
I found the problem!
It is associated with additional languages.
The journals supports two languages; A and B
When using plugin in the Form Language the primary selected language is A(it is not system's default language).
So if I upload submission file when language A is selected and I haven't uploaded a file with changed Form Language to B - I receive those errors. (So, only one file must be attached)
But if upload submission with selected language B - everything work as a charm.
So, here is a small bug which should be fixed

[Garant]

Don't want to create another thread so I will post my enhancement vision here:
It would be nice to have an AJAX autocomplete feature to be enabled filling author details.
The jQuery framework is enabled by default so there isn't much problems except writing the plugin
When it could be useful: When submitting articles and filling author details autocomplete feature could provide pre selected choice with authors data (if several letters/? concur) from earlier filled entries in DB.

Hi Garant,

Agreed; we're making a lot of UI changes in the master branch (for release in OJS 3.0), which will look quite different from past releases and will allow us to easily add this kind of helper.

HI, Alec!
Great news!!!

[Garant]

Hi!
Having problems with PKP Bugzilla, doesn't accept my login...
So I've just updated OJS till 2.4.2 version and problem which I've described here:
http://pkp.sfu.ca/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=8169#c8
still remain.
The error code which I receive is:

Code: Select all

Fatal error: Call to a member function getFileId() on a non-object in /var/www/html/ojs/classes/submission/editor/EditorAction.inc.php on line 123

I hope the problem will be solved.

Hi Garant,

Have you run through the quick submit process without using the language pulldown? If so, does that work?

[Garant]

HI, Alec!
As our journals are published in two languages I always fill two forms for two languages through the quick submit process

[asmecher]

Hi Garant,

Can you try varying the order of submission, i.e. if you saw the error when you first uploaded the file then changed the language, try entering both languages first then uploading the file.

Hi, Alec!
I've tried to fill meta info in both languages without uploading the file. The test article have appeared without error in the selected issue

[asmecher]

Hi Garant,

How about a different order of submission? Try both:

• Upload the file; then enter the metadata in both languages, using the pulldown
• Enter the metadata in both languages using the pulldown, then upload the file
