[hasurorg]

Hello...
I am using OCS 2.3.4. Wen i am trying to send a submission in Review to Layout section, i am taking an error;

"Fatal error: Call to a member function getFileType() on a non-object in /home/admin/domains/hasuder.org.tr/public_html/kongre/classes/submission/trackDirector/TrackDirectorAction.inc.php on line 889"

I need your urgent help.
Many thanks...

Hi Tacettin,

Apologies for the delay in getting back to you. I can't replicate this problem. How is your conference set up in Scheduled Conference Setup Step 2.1, Submission Process?

Cheers,
James

Hello James,

i've got the same error as Tacettin. Using OCS 2.3.4.0, when sending a submission to Layout and publish section, the following error happens:

"Fatal error: Call to a member function getFileType() on a non-object in /var/www/ocs/classes/submission/trackDirector/TrackDirectorAction.inc.php on line 889"

My set up in Schedules Conference Setup Step 2.1 is the following: Abstract and Proposal together, with supplementary files allowed. Other options for the same step aren't used.

I'm suspecting the error is related to sending a submission to layout without selecting a version, but cant make any kind of test right now.

Thanks for any help,

Paulo Nesello

This error was reported back in 2008 and again last year. No one ever followed up on it. Just popped up on one of my current conferences (OCS 2.3.5):

Fatal error: Call to a member function getFileType() on a non-object in /home/csbbcs/public_html/ocs2/classes/submission/trackDirector/TrackDirectorAction.inc.php on line 888

The director has moved a number of other papers - all PDFs, so far - to "layout" so that they can made available on the presentations page.

https://www.csbbcs.org/ocs2/index.php/m ... sentations

And then this error popped up with a particular presentation. I think it's related to file size. This PDF was 1.5 MB and all of the others that I've looked at that are online are under 1 MB. I reduced the file size and was able to successfully "Move to Layout".

It also should be noted that this particular bit of OJS language doesn't apply to OCS.

Haven't had time to track down what setting where needs to be increased. It can't be upload_max_filesize, because the file gets uploaded to the server no problem. The error just pops up when the file is being copied to the public folder. Plus upload_max_filesize is set to 10 MB on my server.
