Cache Problem: Errors in first display of frontend and backend before erasing browsercache

Software Support
1

Application Version
OJS 3.1.2.1

Description of issue
After Upgrade any Version of the OJS 3 System to a next version, the frontend and backend of the system are displayed totally broken (this happens only in a browser that has the pre updated version of the OJS cached). After clearing the browsercache, everything is fine.

Example
screen_edited

My Question
How can this be prevented? When our editors and users see this, their first impression of the system is “Hey it’s broken” altought everything is okay.

I would be grateful for your help.

Hi @r.hirsinger,

This is corrected starting with OJS 3.1.2-2 – see Add timestamp to CSS and JS files for when they are built · Issue #3340 · pkp/pkp-lib · GitHub for details.
