Description of issue or problem I’m having:
After an OJS upgrade from 3.1.2.0 to 3.3.0.7 the Creative Commons and and Copyright Info on the article pages are missing.
We host a number of journals with different templates, and it happened with all of them.

Steps I took leading up to the issue:
Upgrade from 3.1.2.0 to 3.3.0.7

Any Ideas where to look?

Yours,
Felix

What I tried to resolve the issue:

  • checked license info
  • looked for settings
  • changed templates

Application Version :
OJS 3.3.0.7

Any ideas where to look further?

Thanks,
Felix

Hi @felixhelix,

Unfortunately this is a known issue when upgrading from 3.1.2, where the fieldname becomes “licenseUrl” instead of “licenseURL”. Manually changing this in the Database brings the Information back in the article view.

A fix for this was applied to OJS 3.2, but upgrading directly to 3.3 unfortunately still produces the discrepancy in the database. You can either upgrade to OJS 3.2 first, or run that query to fix it after upgrading directly to OJS 3.3.
