Problems ojs 2.4.8 link of an issue redirects to the current issue

Hi, i am having a problem with a journal.
This is archive page. http://aprendeenlinea.udea.edu.co/revistas/index.php/fnsp/issue/archive
When you click the VOL. 26, NÚM. 1 (2008), VOL. 25, NÚM. 2 (2007), VOL. 25, NÚM. 1 (2007) and other issues, it goes to the current issue.

Any comment or suggestion of what can i do will be well received.

Thanks!!

Hi @ser0125

Can you confirm that all those issues, and respective articles, are published as also enabled to public access?

Hi @israel.cefrin

this is the url of an article that is in one of these numbers
http://aprendeenlinea.udea.edu.co/revistas/index.php/fnsp/article/view/991

I’m attentive and thank you for answering

Hi @ser0125, hi @israel.cefrin,

I have the same problem:
http://journals.ub.uni-heidelberg.de/index.php/breisach/issue/archive

When I click on no. 46, I am redirected to the current issue. But I know it must have been working the way it should, because my colleagues catalog all articles we publish in our system and check if the links are working. So the problem must have surfaced some time later (don’t know if it is relevant, but if you have the URN you can still download all articles).
We are using OJS 2.4.8.1. The journal is open access and doesn’t have any restrictions. I have checked both issue and articles, but I can’t find anything out of the ordinary.

Has anyone an idea what the problem might be?

Kind regards
Daniela

Hi @ser0125 and @UBWolf

Could you please check your php error log and verify any message regarded to this action?
It often shows helpful information to debug. Please post it here iss possible.

Hi @israel.cefrin,

I clicked on the issue and then checked the error log, but unfortunately there wasn’t any information on this journal (only some notification about a different journal).
Another thing: even logged in as administrator I can’t see the issue in the frontend.
I know it’s not much to work with :frowning:

Kind regards
Daniela

Hi @UBWolf and @ser0125

Are you using custom identifiers in your OJS issue? If so, are they numeric?
In this case it would be advisable making them non-numeric e.g. by adding a prefix to the number.

Hi @israel.cefrin

I check the php error log but that did not give me any information and in this journal we don´t have custom identifiers.

Hi @ser0125

You are likely facing a issue that was fixed with patch from this Github Issues.

Please, take a look and confirm with your IT staff how apply this patch in your OJS install.

Hi @israel.cefrin,

unfortunately the problem ist still there, even after we applied the patch. There also has never been custom ids, so it wasn’t likely it was the cause for the problem. I’m sorry I have to bother all of you. It’s so strange everything was alright at some time, and now the issue can’t be accessed anymore.

Kind regards

Hi @UBWolf

I realised you are not with latest 2.x release. In PKP website we made available OJS 2.4.8-2 and your version is 2.4.8.1.

Could you attempt update and check if this issue persist ?

Hi @israel.cefrin,

I am working with @UBWolf on OJS hosting and development at University Library Heidelberg
We could not resolve the issue with patching to 2.4.8.2.

Trying to view the issue Nr. 46 (with id=2011) still redirects to the current issue.
http://journals.ub.uni-heidelberg.de/index.php/breisach/issue/archive
This link should show issue Nr. 46:
http://journals.ub.uni-heidelberg.de/index.php/breisach/issue/view/2011

Can you give us any other hint, before I start debugging and diving into the code myself?

Thanks for your help,

Hi nweiher,

In the journal with this problem i used Custom identifiers to identify issues.(step: 4.3 in the configuration), i dont think that was the best solution but that works for me.
