Review form issues

We have created a Review form. It looks okay when the journal manager looks at it but our reviewers are not seeing the values in the drop down boxes.

We are running ojs-3.0.2.

Thanks

Hi @larryhansard,

Note that there is a related issue you may want to patch: [OJS] Add reviews to email button selects the wrong option for radio buttons in some cases · Issue #2437 · pkp/pkp-lib · GitHub

If that doesn’t resolve the issue, can you describe in more detail, possibly with a screenshot or two?

Hi Alec, I’ve created a test journal to show you. Here is what we are seeing. None of the values are showing up in the drop down box. When we click on the drop down, it displays “This field is required”. Thanks – Larry

Hi @larryhansard,

I think your message got a little garbled – could you review it and use the quoting/preformatted text tools as needed, or post screenshots instead?

I’ve attached screen shots.

Hi @larryhansard,

Just to clarify, have you confirmed that the dropdowns in the reviewer screenshot are empty? Are they disabled (i.e. will clicking on them have any action at all)? Did you try applying the patch linked above?

Hi @larryhansard,

Just to add: I found another related issue that you should try patching. Dropdown controls in review forms present the wrong options · Issue #2215 · pkp/pkp-lib · GitHub

?Hi Alec, where is the patch? I’m not seeing any code on the link that you sent. Thanks – Larry

Hi @larryhansard,

Sorry, my mistake – that second issue is already resolved in OJS 3.0.2. Did you manage to patch the first one? The patch is here (apply it in the lib/pkp subdirectory): https://github.com/pkp/pkp-lib/commit/d2f3845216003e014630fb353d0be1772fb0d624.diff
