OJS 3.3.0.3 Not Setting Locales Correctly

Software Support
1

I have a new OJS installation of version 3.3.0.3. I get a blank section when I click on “journal” under settings. Masthead and Contact tabs are blank but Sections and Categories show their content.

The error I am seeing in the browser console is TypeError: e.availableLocales is null in the file build.js

Why is availableLocales coming up empty?

I have the setting locale = en_US in the config file and English is set as the primary locale in site settings image

The error log has the following lines repeated severally.

It is definite locales are not being set correctly.

Can you ensure that browser’s cache is cleared after the upgrade? If it doesn’t help, also, I’d clean template and data cache (Administration → Administrative functions) just in case.

I tried clearing cache it didn’t help. But I did a local install and got access to log files. See update above

Yes, according to the error supportedFormLocales setting is missing from a journal_settings table for a journal where error occurs. To ensure, you can run a database query:

SELECT * FROM journal_settings WHERE setting_name = 'supportedFormLocales' AND journal_id = 1

Where the last number should be substituted by your journal’s id. It’s the case if it doesn’t return anything.

You can pick up the locale for forms in Website Setting -> Setup -> Languages.

I think it was solved as part of this issue: Upgrade to 3.3.0.2 fails when a journal has no supportedFormLocales · Issue #6710 · pkp/pkp-lib · GitHub
But for debugging purposes it would be helpful to know:

  • From which version you have updated
  • What supported form locales you had before (only primary or secondary too)
  • Did you receive any related notices/warnings during the upgrade

The setting supportedFormLocales did not exist in the table journal_settings. I inserted it manually into the table together with the value ["en_US"] and the and the problem is now solved.

Most likely the upgrade process skipped to insert it somehow and I didn’t notice, though it showed “upgrade successful”. But the problem is now gone. Thank you for your help.
