OJS config.inc.php show_upgrade_warning

JLA · December 16, 2015, 1:31pm

Since a few days, it takes about 1 mn to display the administrator page in OJS. I suspect the installation of new filters in the routers that block the access to the PKP site (to look at a new version).
I tried show_upgrade_warning = Off in config.inc.php
We have always the same problem.
Thanks for your help,
Jean-Luc

That does sound a lot like a network timeout of some sort, but the check for the latest release of the software only occurs if show_upgrade_warning is On, so there must be something else at play.

github.com

pkp/ojs/blob/ojs-dev-2_4/pages/admin/AdminHandler.inc.php#L40-L48


		if (Config::getVar('general', 'show_upgrade_warning')) {
			import('lib.pkp.classes.site.VersionCheck');
			if($latestVersion = VersionCheck::checkIfNewVersionExists()) {
				$newVersionAvailable = true;
				$templateMgr->assign('latestVersion', $latestVersion);
				$currentVersion =& VersionCheck::getCurrentDBVersion();
				$templateMgr->assign('currentVersion', $currentVersion->getVersionString());
			}
		}

Can you use the browser’s Inspector tool to watch the network traffic? This would confirm whether the delay is on the initial page load, or on a secondary request:

I am a stupid boy.
I changed the wrong config.inc.php file (we have many different sites, VM…)
So: show_upgrade_warning = Off works
I’m very sorry for the noise
