Problem with common/message.tpl

[tshore]

Author registration has closed. The attachment shows the page that is displayed when a non-author clicks on the Abstract Submission link. As you can see, there is a problem with some of the items from the locale file. I started to try to look into this, but I have no idea.

Perhaps it's a bug?

OCS 2.3.3.1

Hi Trudy,

I can't seem to replicate this on my git checkout, but you may be running into http://pkp.sfu.ca/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=5547. Try the attached patch and see if the problem is resolved.

Cheers,
James

Just setup a brand new installation of OCS 2.3.4 and I still have this exact same problem. When a non-author clicks on on the Submission link, they get this same messed up page. It is not bug #5547 as that patch has been incorporated into OCS 2.3.4.

I have figured this out, partly by searching the forum and finding this post:

http://pkp.sfu.ca/support/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=7080

So, even if a user doesn't have the Author role assigned to their profile, when they click on the Submission link, they are automatically assigned this role. I was ending up on the messed up page because the Author registration opened date was set to a future date on the timeline management page and so the user could not be assigned the author role.
