Second article of the same author pulling the wrong abstract and title

seisense · June 5, 2018, 10:38am

Using latest OJS 3.1.1.1
When an author publishes a second paper in the journal, the OJS pull the first article in the Abstract and title.
In the table of contents, article listing is fine. But when I click on the second article it displays the information (Abstract and Title) from the author’s first article. All other information i.e PDF file to download and detail information is correct.
Please help me to resolve this issue.

Hi @seisense,

Are you sure this isn’t caused by local modifications? One way to check would be to try displaying the article on an unmodified OJS codebase.

Well, I am not a tech savy. So, I haven’t changed any thing. It was a fresh installation since the inception of the journal.
Any solution please.

Hi @seisense,

Have you installed or enabled any plugins beyond the ones that are automatically enabled on installation? If so, could you try disabling those plugins to see if that affects the presentation?

I have narrowed it down now. This is happening when I use oldgregg theme. If I use default or health sciences theme built in OJS then it is working properly and displaying the correct information.
Should I post the question to Dr. Vitality who developed Oldgregg theme on bootstrap 4?

Hi @seisense,

I’ll tag him here in case he knows. @Vitaliy, are you aware of any variable clobbering on the article or publishedArticle template variable such as @seisense describes?

Hi @seisense, @asmecher

This bug was described before. Old Gregg theme uses such calls, as:

$smarty->get_template_vars('article');

DAORegistry::getDAO('ArticleDAO');

DAORegistry::getDAO('PublishedArticleDAO');

As far as I remember, the first one somehow interferes with recommended by author plugin. This, in turn, produces described above conflict. I will look at this problem more closely.

see: http://forum.pkp.sfu.ca/t/empty-publishedarticle-object-for-most-of-the-pub…lished-articles/30927 also: http://forum.pkp.sfu.ca/t/making-a-plugin-for-ojs3/30899/16?u=ajnyga The problem was seen when using recommend by author plugin + embedGalley https://github.com/ajnyga/embedGalley OR recommend by author + plugin, that I am developing, but on the same hook (I have changed it already) https://github.com/Vitaliy-1/JATSParserPlugin/blob/master/JatsParserPlugin.inc.php#L29 "symptoms": - PHP Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to undefined method Article::getGalleys() in plugins\generic\embedGalley\EmbedGalleyPlugin.inc.php:147` when trying to call this method with: ``` $articleArrays = $smarty->get_template_vars('article'); foreach ($articleArrays->getGalleys() as $galley) { ``` - print_r on $articleArrays shows different articles for one article with different locale. For example in English locale I see data from article with id 19 and for Ukrainian - with id 26 (article is the same). - $smarty->get_template_vars('publishedArticle') becomes empty for most of the articles Note: this behavior is inconsistent. When using recommend by author + embedGalley I had such problems only in 10% of articles, but when using recomend by author + jatsParser plugin (that I am developing) - in near 70% of articles.

(this issue can be reopened)

@seisense, suppose the only way to solve it right now is to disable the Recommend Articles by Author plugin.
