Author Requirements OJS 3.3.0-14 and PHP8 problem

[karwas]

Hi,
When we try to access the plugin settings we get the following
Failed Ajax request or invalid JSON returned.
Log:
[Thu Mar 16 08:55:49.871218 2023] [proxy_fcgi:error] [pid 330462:tid 330641] [client 188.47.119.63:0] AH01071: Got error 'PHP message: PHP Fatal error: Declaration of AuthorRequirementsSettingsForm::fetch($request) must be compatible with Form::fetch($request, $template = null, $display = false) in []/public_html/plugins/generic/authorRequirements/AuthorRequirementsSettingsForm.inc.php on line 63’, referer: []/index.php/pis/management/settings/website
On a server with php73 and php74 everything works fine

Are you familiar with this problem and it may depend on php8?

Regards
Peter

Hi @karwas,

This is a minor issue with the author requirements plugin; the fix has already been made in Github, but not yet released in the Plugin Gallery. In the meantime you can apply the change yourself if you like.
