Hi!

Same as OJS 3.2.1-1 error: Failed Ajax request or invalid JSON returned - #2 by juanf.csic

I get the error " Failed Ajax request or invalid JSON returned" when I try to assign an editor.

My OJS version is 3.3.0-11 and PHP 7.4.30

For this case, we see this in config.inc.php:

show_stacktrace = Off
display_errors = Off

Hi @pachadotdev , can you check your php error log file and see what error associated with it and provide the details ?

@pachadotdev it’s very hard to guess what is the real issue just from those few lines from the error log. A full error trace may help us to understand it better.

The missing part of the error is this one: “PHP Fatal error: Uncaught PDOException: SQLSTATE[42S22]: Column not found: 1054 Unknown column ‘etd.stage_id’ in ‘field list’”

Any ideas how to fix it?
Thanks in advance.

The above error point out that it can not find a DB column during a DB query . A quick check in the code base point out that etd used as a shorter name of table email_templates_default. can you check that table and see if the column stage_id is set and present there ? Also did you run a fresh install or upgrade form the previous version ?
