How to attach the article file to the Section-Editor Assignment mail

Software Support

Hi,
I have been asked by Editors to modify the EDITOR_ASSIGN template in order to get the pdf file of the article automatically attached to the assignement mail. In other words, I would like to have a similar behaviour as in the REVIEW_REQUEST_ATTACHED template. Is there an best way to do so ?

Thanks
Claude

Hi @Claude_Sabbah,

You’ll have to dive into classes/submission/editor/EditorAction.inc.php in the assignEditor function.

I’d suggest following the pattern used to attach the submission to the REVIEW_REQUEST_ATTACHED email:

Thanks a lot, Alec.
But not being expert, I guess I should change the line 283 of SectionEditorAction.inc.php
$reviewVersion =& $sectionEditorSubmission->getReviewFile();
with another one?

Hi @Claude_Sabbah,

Off the top of my head, you would need to do something like…

$articleFileDao =& DAORegistry::getDAO('ArticleFileDAO');
$submissionFile =& $articleFileDao->getArticleFile($sectionEditorSubmission->getSubmissionFileId())

Thanks but I probably forget to add something, since this produces
Fatal error: Call to a member function getSubmissionFileId() on a non-object in /var/www/html/ojs/classes/submission/editor/EditorAction.inc.php on line 96

Hi @Claude_Sabbah,

The $sectionEditorSubmission object referred to in the quoted code above probably doesn’t exist, judging by that error message. You might find a $submission object in scope where you’re making your modifications.

Thanks, Alec.
This eliminates the error, but no file is attached to the mail, however, with the following lines

                            $email->assignParams($paramArray);
                                        import('classes.file.TemporaryFileManager');
                                        $temporaryFileManager = new TemporaryFileManager();
                                        $articleFileDao =& DAORegistry::getDAO('ArticleFileDAO');
                                        $submissionFile =& $articleFileDao->getArticleFile($editorSubmission->getSubmissionFileId());
                                        if ($reviewVersion) {
                                                $temporaryFile = $temporaryFileManager->articleToTemporaryFile($reviewVersion, $user->getId());
                                                $email->addPersistAttachment($temporaryFile);
                                }

Hi @Claude_Sabbah,

The $reviewVersion object does not exist. In this case, it should be $submissionFile.
