Error in SuppFileForm.inc.php (OJS 2.4)

[springday]

I've run into an error when trying to add a supplementary file to a published article. I started out from the page associated with the URL [journal]/editor/submission/[articleId] and clicked "Add supplementary file" (URL [journal]/editor/addSuppFile/[articleID]?from=submission). I received the following PHP error:

Fatal error: Call to a member function getData() on a non-object in C:\xampp\htdocs\ojs\classes\plugins\PubIdPluginHelper.inc.php on line 51

The PubIdPluginHelper is called from line 178 of SuppeFileForm.inc.php:

Code: Select all

$pubIdPluginHelper->init($this, $suppFile);

$suppFile is not defined at this stage, because I was trying to add a new supplementary file.

Hi Kai,

I've filed this bug against OJS 2.4 as

And included a patch there against OJS 2.4. Can you verify that this patch solves your issue? If it does, I will commit and close.

Thanks for reporting,

Hi Jason,

yes, moving those four lines up did the job, I can now add supplementary files without encountering an error message. Thanks a lot!
