I have been using OJS 2.4.2 for over 2 years without a problem till today. This error is the same as described here https://pkp.sfu.ca/support/forum/viewtopic.php?t=9542. I applied the fix described on that page, but that did not solve the problem.
I use one-click review submission. When a reviewer try to edit one’s comments, he got this error:
Fatal error: Call to a member function getRoleId() on a non-object in /home/xxx/public_html/classes/submission/form/comment/EditCommentForm.inc.php on line 41
when try to delete comments, the error message is:
Fatal error: Call to a member function getCommentType() on a non-object in /home/xxx/public_html/pages/reviewer/SubmissionCommentsHandler.inc.php on line 135
This did not happen before (or we did not notice it, I am not suer). Please help, otherwise, the system stops function.
I’d suggest upgrading to the latest 2.4.x release – currently OJS 2.4.8-1. There are a few related bugs that have been patched, and upgrading is a good idea anyway. I suspect that will solve the problem.

Thank you for reply. The problem is that my version has been modified in both code and templates, even applying patches has difficulties. I am considering updating to 3.0 in a few month since the upgrade would need a lot of template work. I just hope that I can solve the editing comments issue for the time being.
Another work-around that would potentially fix the issue would be to disable one-click reviewer access. If I recall correctly, the problem is limited to that feature.
