Hello,
I’m getting a fatal error trying to access the new user registration screen on a fresh install of OJS 3.0.2-stable from GitHub.
I first get a notice regarding undefined variable
PHP Notice: Undefined variable: context in /xxx/xxx/test_html/lib/pkp/classes/user/form/RegistrationForm.inc.php on line 117
Then the fatal error
PHP Fatal error: Call to a member function getSetting() on null in /xxx/xxx/test_html/lib/pkp/classes/user/form/RegistrationForm.inc.php on line 117
It’s looking for this
if ($request->getContext() && !$context->getSetting(‘disableUserReg’))
User registration is set to yes in Site Access Options.
I should say that it is actually a 2.4.x update to OJS 3.0.2-stable
Hi @verdonv,
Can you double-check that both your application and lib/pkp
submodules are up to date? I suspect one of them (probably lib/pkp
) is out of date.

Hi @asmecher
I’m suspecting now, that I’m on the main trunk in lib/pkp and not where I should be for OJS 3.0.2-stable (keep in mind I’m relatively new to git). Should the branch for lib/pkp be the same number as for OJS?
Following is my output
$ git status
# On branch ojs-stable-3_0_2
# Changed but not updated:
# (use "git add/rm <file>..." to update what will be committed)
# (use "git checkout -- <file>..." to discard changes in working directory)
# (commit or discard the untracked or modified content in submodules)
#
# deleted: cache/t_cache/.gitignore
# deleted: cache/t_compile/.gitignore
# modified: lib/pkp (modified content)
#
# Untracked files:
# (use "git add <file>..." to include in what will be committed)
#
# plugins/importexport/quickSubmit/
# plugins/themes/cjarDefault/
# plugins/themes/defaultManuscript/
no changes added to commit (use "git add" and/or "git commit -a")
$ cd lib/pkp/
$ git status
# Not currently on any branch.
# Changed but not updated:
# (use "git add <file>..." to update what will be committed)
# (use "git checkout -- <file>..." to discard changes in working directory)

Hi @verdonv,
You should be on the same branch for both. On the stable branch it should be safe to…
git fetch
git checkout ojs-stable-3_0_2
cd lib/pkp
git fetch
git checkout ojs-stable-3_0_2
That should get you up to date, and git status
should show the same branch for both repos.

Thanks @asmecher
Interestingly enough, if I
git checkout tags/ojs-3_0_2-0
I’m good and it seems to work, or at least the form loads with no error.
If I
git checkout ojs-stable-3_0_2
I get the same errors I was getting initially.
if I git status now with both branches checked out
$ git status

I ‘think’ when it is telling me that my branch is behind by x commits and can be fast-forwarded, it is just due to me adding plugins/themes and running composer?
Hi @verdonv,
When it says that the lib/pkp
submodule is “behind ‘origin/ojs-stable-3_0_2’ by 2 commits”, that means there are 2 commits in the official repository that aren’t present in yours. Try a git pull
or, failing that, git reset --hard origin/ojs-stable-3_0_2
– be warned that the latter will discard any local changes. I suspect one of those two commits is the problem.

Thanks very much @asmecher. I’m not sure how I got in that state, but the git pull
(on the pkp lib) got me where I needed to be.
