Blank page after attempt to assign the reviewer

[Ajakss]

Hi,

after attempt to assign the reviewer to the article I get the blank page. I do not know what can I do. The errors logs say it

ojs2 has produced an error Message: WARNING: Missing argument 3 for SectionEditorAction::addReviewer(), called in /var/www/plain/infotezy/ojs/pages/sectionEditor/SubmissionEditHandler.inc.php on line 422 and defined In file: /var/www/plain/infotezy/ojs/classes/submission/sectionEditor/SectionEditorAction.inc.php At line: 83 Stacktrace: File: /var/www/plain/infotezy/ojs/classes/submission/sectionEditor/SectionEditorAction.inc.php line 83 Function: PKPApplication->errorHandler(2, "Missing argument 3 for SectionEditorAction::addReviewer(), called in /var/www/plain/infotezy/ojs/pages/sectionEditor/SubmissionEditHandler.inc.php on line 422 and defined", "/var/www/plain/infotezy/ojs/classes/submission/sectionEditor/SectionEditorAction.inc.php", 83, Array(2)) File: /var/www/plain/infotezy/ojs/pages/sectionEditor/SubmissionEditHandler.inc.php line 422 Function: SectionEditorAction->addReviewer(Object(SectionEditorSubmission), "1") File: (unknown) line (unknown) Function: SubmissionEditHandler->selectReviewer(Array(2), Object(Request)) File: /var/www/plain/infotezy/ojs/lib/pkp/classes/core/PKPRouter.inc.php line 370 Function: call_user_func(Array(2), Array(2), Object(Request)) File: /var/www/plain/infotezy/ojs/lib/pkp/classes/core/PKPPageRouter.inc.php line 266 Function: PKPRouter->_authorizeInitializeAndCallRequest(Array(2), Object(Request), Array(2), False) File: /var/www/plain/infotezy/ojs/lib/pkp/classes/core/Dispatcher.inc.php line 129 Function: PKPPageRouter->route(Object(Request)) File: /var/www/plain/infotezy/ojs/lib/pkp/classes/core/PKPApplication.inc.php line 180 Function: Dispatcher->dispatch(Object(Request)) File: /var/www/plain/infotezy/ojs/index.php line 65 Function: PKPApplication->execute() Server info: OS: Linux PHP Version: 5.3.3-7+squeeze14 Apache Version: Apache DB Driver: mysql DB server version: 5.1.63-0+squeeze1

Hi Adam,

What version of OJS are you using?

Hi,

Sorry, I forgot it. My version is 2.3.7.

Kind regards,

Adam

Hi Adam,

I've had a look at the OJS 2.3.8 code and I don't believe that the issue you're having exists in the new version. Is it possible for you to attempt an upgrade?

Regards,
Jason

[Ajakss]

Hi Jason,

thanks a lot for your reply. I would like to avoid upgrading. Previously I had to start from the scratch because I have lost translations. Furthermore, I am going to publish the new issue soon and I am afraid of possible problems.

Kind regards,

Adam

Hi Adam,

Are you sure there aren't modifications that might be causing this? Looking e.g. at SectionEditorAction.inc.php line 87 (or elsewhere in the addReviewer function), there is no reference to $request.

Hi Alec,

the only modifications I did were recommended patches, but only a few, e.g. Bug 7410, 7233.

Kind regards,

Adam

Hi Adam,

I suspect you applied the wrong patch for at least one of the recommended patches; see e.g. the comment I just posted at http://pkp.sfu.ca/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=7412. Note that we actively develop on several branches of the OJS codebase at the same time, and so commit notices posted on bug entries will often refer to patches that are intended for several different branches. Applying the wrong one will cause problems.

Hi Alec,

thank you for reply. I have applied only five patches (7233, 7231, 7229, 7410, 7411) for 2.3.7 version of OJS. Is there a chance that restoring old files fixes the installations?

Kind regards,

Adam

Hi Adam,

Check your browser history to see if it can tell you which patches you applied. If you can find out which specific ones it was, post the links here and I'll double-check which ones were intended for a different release. Then you can apply those -R (to reverse) and apply the appropriate ones. If that's possible, I'll clarify as I go through which patches are for which versions in the bug entries.

Hi Alec,

thanks for the reply. Unfortunately, I had to reinstall my computer and all history was lost. Is there other way to determine the applied patch?

Kind regards,

Adam

Hi Adam,

If you're using a command line 'patch' command to apply these patches, patch will tell you if it thinks that you may have already applied a patch. You'll get a statement like 'previously applied detected!' if you try it a second time. You can run the command with a --dry-run argument so it won't actually be applied (if it hasn't already). So, if you see something like this:

Code: Select all

patch -p1 --dry-run < thePatchFile.diff
patching file ....../whatever.inc.php
Reversed (or previously applied) patch detected!  Assume -R? [n]


You'll know that this was a patch you've applied already. In such a case you can choose to reverse it.

Jason

Hi Jason,

thank you for excellent advice. But I have applied patches manually removing and adding relevant lines with code. Furthermore, my provider does not make avaialable the command line to management service. I am quite hopeless in this case.

Kind regards,

Adam

Hi Adam,

maybe that's a bit too much work to do, but...
You could copy your entire OJS installation to a local computer with a local server software installed (for example XAMPP on a windows computer). This would also require to be able to access you web server's database to make a dump of it (for example with PHPMyAdmin). And finally you would have to get the patch tool working on your local computer. With all those things combined, you could dry-run the patch on a local machine without accessing the server's shell.
