Submission Language drop-down menu is empty

juhnson · April 18, 2018, 8:20am

Hello!

After OJS2 upgrade to OJS3 we are having some problem with language.
Can’t add new Article, because Submission Language drop-down menu is empty and the field is required:

error_log:

Also, in Language settings it says “No Items”:

Any ideas how to fix this problem?
Kind regards

Hi @juhnson

Hmmm… That is strange…
Did you upgrade to the latest 3.1.1 version? What OJS 2 version did you have?
Did you have any warnings/error during the upgrade?
What do you have in your OJS 2 and OJS 3 database table site, columns primary_locale, installed_locales, supported_locales, as well in your table journal_settings where setting_name = ‘supportedFormLocales’, ‘supportedLocales’, ‘supportedSubmissionLocales’?

Best,
Bozana

hi @bozana
2.4.6 to 3.1.1 (Successfully upgraded to version 3.1.1.0), no warnings/errors during the upgrade.

Table: site (both ojs2 and ojs3 site tables are same)

min_password_length primary_locale installed_locales supported_locales original_style_file_name redirect
6 en_US en_US NULL 0

Table: journal_settings
supportedLocales a:1:{i:0;s:5:“en_US”;} object

OJS2 and OJS3 database in journal_settings only ‘supportedLocales’ exists, no setting_names like ‘supportedFormLocales’ or ‘supportedSubmissionLocales’. Should I add manually these settings?

juhnson · April 23, 2018, 11:58am

I added manually ‘supportedFormLocales’ and ‘supportedSubmissionLocales’, but still same problem.

@juhnson, what is the primary_locale in your DB table journals?

juhnson · April 23, 2018, 3:28pm

@bozana

primaryLocale en_US (same value before upgrade and after upgrade)

Hmmm… Strange… I have no idea at the moment what is happening…
Could you maybe try to clear cache and try the submit form again and see in the error log file if the warning are the same?

juhnson · April 24, 2018, 9:41am

@bozana I think problem is somewhere in database. How should I clear the cache?

Hi all,

That languages grid (Setting > Website > Languages) is populated with this function: pkp-lib/ManageLanguageGridHandler.inc.php at ojs-3_1_1-0 · pkp/pkp-lib · GitHub. Is there a possibility for you to debug it and see what the variable $data contains before returned? – You could eventually add error_log(print_r($data, true)); before the return line pkp-lib/ManageLanguageGridHandler.inc.php at ojs-3_1_1-0 · pkp/pkp-lib · GitHub. Then you would see it in the server PHP error log file.

@orcalator, are your locale entries (s. above) in the DB table site, journals and journal_settings correct?

Thanks!
Bozana

@bozana,

I deleted post bcs. i realized language was not set for “Submissions” and “Forms” in Settings → Website → Languages. After i set it, it was ok. However “Submission Requirements” are gone in other language. I have them only in english. Not sure why.

Regards,

Nino
