Hi @Dulip_Withanage,
After I upgraded to OJS 3.2.1.2, the ORCID plugin is throwing a fatal error at the time of Registering a user account.

See the screenshot below:

Following is the php error:

Hi @Dulip_Withanage, we have the same problem. I have mentioned it here Error message when using the ORCID Profile Plugin after updating to OJS 3.2.1.2

Hi @bibliothekswelt, @seisense
can you confirm me, which version of the plugin you are having ?
1.1.2.5 ?

@Dulip_Withanage
The latest version 1.1.2.5 is installed

We have also installed release 1.1.2.5 from 2020-08-16

Yesterday, I installed the latest release of ORCID 1.1.2.6 from the plugin area (it was showing update available).
It is throwing the following fatal error in PHP error log:

Looking forward to your reply.
Thanks

Hi @seisense,

were you on a journal or myjournal.domain/index.php/index when the error occured?
In Plugin I am asserting that the context is set? Can you confirm it for me?

we have the same problem.

Hi @Dulip_Withanage ,
I don’t know exactly when this error is produced. I belive it is happening only when the author tries authenticate the ORCID by following the link they receive in email.
Thanks

@Dulip_Withanage when an instance supports multiple journals, it is possible to login/register from a site-wide form, when no context exists. Could this be the source of the problem?

Login to ojs admin panel,

  • navigate to settings->website->plugins

  • now click on tab plugin gallery

  • click on “ORCiD Profile”

  • Update plugin
    Issue will be resolved.
