Hi,
I recently upgraded my OJS installation from version 3.4.0.5 to 3.4.0.8. While the upgrade process was successful, I am now encountering an HTTP 500 error on the article details page.

Details:

  • Current OJS Version: 3.4.0.5
  • PHP Version: 8.2.26

The PHP error log shows the following:

[06-Dec-2024 06:15:55 America/New_York] ojs2: 400 Bad Request

Hello,
Thank you @asmecher and everyone who reviewed my issue. I have resolved the problem. It turned out that the issue was in my theme where I mistakenly omitted the $date variable in the following code:

{if $publication->getData('datePublished')}
    <div class="list-group-item date-published">
        <strong>{translate key="submissions.published"}:</strong>
        {$publication->getData('datePublished')|date_format:$date}
    </div>
{/if}

After defining the $date variable properly, everything is now working as expected. I appreciate the support and insights provided by the community.
regards
seisense
