Reviewer comments error message

[jhenderson]

On the page a reviewer sees, Review Step 3 is:

3. Click on icon to enter (or paste) your review of this submission.
Review Comment <icon>

But clicking on the icon results in an error message:

Fatal error: Call to a member function getId() on a non-object in /var/www/bookings/ocs/classes/submission/form/comment/CommentForm.inc.php on line 85

The Review Form is set to "None / Free Form Review" (because that seems to be the only way for the TD to use the Insert Reviewers Comments in messages to the authors).

Any advice on what's causing the error?

Hi jhenderson,

What version of OCS is this, and are there any modifications to it? What do you see on line 85 of classes/submission/form/comment/CommentForm.inc.php?

Thanks,

We're using 2.3.4.0.

There are no modifications as far as I know.

I'll have to ask out technical support people what they see on line 85 of classes/submission/form/comment/CommentForm.inc.php
I don't have access to it.

The line in question is

$templateMgr->assign('userId', $this->user->getId());

Hi stelfer/jhenderson,

I would suggest checking to be sure there are no modifications by using the standard "diff" tool to compare your installed version against a stock version of the same release of OCS. Something like:

Code: Select all

diff -u -r /path/to/stock-version /path/to/installed-version > changes.diff

Then review changes.diff to see if anything pops up. It's odd that you'd encounter an unreported problem affecting something as central as review in an older release, which is why I wonder if there hasn't been a modification made.
