Article’s activity log doesn’t load on all submissions

Software Support
1

Describe the issue or problem
On all submissions clicking on the activity log button infinitly shows the loading wheel.

Steps I took leading up to the issue
Upgrade from OJS 3.2.1 to OJS 3.3.0-13 and switching from PHP 7.4 to 8.0.
Before the upgrade of both everything worked fine.

What application are you using?
OJS 3.3.0-13

Additional information
The upgrade process worked fine with this feedback to php tools/upgrade.php upgrade:

Everything seems to work correctly except the activity log.

I found this [OJS] PHP Warning and fatal error · Issue #6774 · pkp/pkp-lib · GitHub, tried the SQL statements and there where some orphaned submission_file_ids:

I deleted them (after database backup), but issue remains.

I found this Activity log doesn't load [OJS 3.3.0.6] - #14 by Elton_Pereira_Leite, but it’s not very clear, what to try or to do.

Please give me a hint, where to start investigating our issue.

Thanks,
Tobias

@twa Hello we found the solution, we ran the commands below and solved it.

I made a backup of your database before this action to be able to restore!

SELECT sf.submission_file_id FROM submission_files sf LEFT JOIN notes n ON (sf.assoc_id = n.note_id) WHERE sf.assoc_type = 520 AND n.note_id IS NULL;

DELETE FROM submission_file_revisions WHERE submission_file_id IN (SELECT sf.submission_file_id FROM submission_files sf LEFT JOIN notes n ON (sf.assoc_id = n.note_id) WHERE sf.assoc_type = 520 AND n.note_id IS NULL);

delete from submission_files where submission_file_id in (
SELECT sfid FROM (SELECT sf.submission_file_id AS sfid FROM submission_files sf
LEFT JOIN notes n ON (sf.assoc_id = n.note_id) WHERE sf.assoc_type = 520 AND n.note_id IS NULL) AS c);

@Elton_Pereira_Leite Thanks for your help.

Running the 1st SQL I get 0 hits.
Running the 2nd SQL I get 0 hits.
Running the 3rd SQL I get an SQL error:

Unexpected sign (near ")" at position 181)

as c); at the end of the statement appears to be wrong.

Thanks
Tobias

I do not exactly know why, but now the activity log works! Directly after applying the SQL command it hasn’t.
So: Issues is closed for us.

I have to correct me: Now there are some submissions, where the Activity Log is not working, and others, where it is working.
Any further ideas?

@asmecher Sorry for forcefully dragging you into this topic, but I can’t see a solution to this, and before the upgrade everything worked fine.

Thank you!
Tobias
