3.4 Plugins Missing

Missing plugins

Hi everyone,

We just installed OJS 3.4 version, but seems some plugins available in 3.3.0.14 version are not showing in the latest 3.4 version, such as announcement bloke, key cloud bloke and funding data. We just wondering are these plugins are not come with 3.4 version? Do we need to install these plugins ourselves one by one? Or is there a package we can download to install them all together?

Thank you for your help in advance!

Hi @eettjournal,

Since 3.4 is quite new, not all plugins have been tested to be compatible and have released versions for these plugins yet, particularly plugins that are developed by third parties, who may not have had the opportunity to upgrade them just yet. You can get a sense of this by looking at our compatibility checker here: PKP Plugins List

It does appear that this is the case announcements block and keywords block, although the funding plugin (if we’re referring to the correct one), has been tested against 3.4.

sorry if I’m intruding. i managed to upgrade to version 3.4.0-1 after various vicissitudes.
everything works except the custom blocks manager.
from a json error.
php8.2

do you have any idea why?
unfortunately with active debugging it doesn’t tell me anything except this error message

Hi @simgiallorosso,

Can you check your PHP error log to see if anything appears there?

Hi @simgiallorosso,

Unfortunately I can’t give specific instructions to find your PHP error log, as it’ll depend on your host. See:

How do I find my PHP error log?

Where you’ll find your PHP error log will depend on your server’s setup. In most shared hosts, there is a directory called logs or something similar. If your service provider has a knowledge base, they will typically describe how to find your logs there. If you’re running your own server, logs will usually be somewhere like /var/log or /var/log/apache. There are many useful threads in StackOverflow that may help to find your logs. For example: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5127838/where-d…

Hi @simgiallorosso,

Turn off the deprecation_warnings option in your config.inc.php configuration file.

Resolved. I had to add text in the 3 image fields of the home where it is reported

Describe this image for visitors viewing the site in a text-only browser or with assistive devices. Example: “Our editor speaking at the PKP conference.”

so it saves without errors
