After Updating to OJS 3.4.0.1 participant notify is not working

[ahamed-kashif]

When I try to send notification email to a participant of a submission, it’s got stuck in loading and throws a 500 error on
send-notification?stageId=XXX&submissionId=XXX

Steps I took leading up to the issue

1. Go to ‘submissions’
2. Click on ‘view’ button of any submission
3. In the participant section click on notify text inside the participant’s name
4. when i try to send the notification message following ajax error comes up

Hi @ahamed-kashif,

I’ve filed and fixed this here:

PHP error with `array_intersect` on null

There is a patch that you can apply linked from there, or you can wait for the 3.4.0-2 release to come out in the next 1-2 weeks.
