Unable to Add a new Block following OJS 3.1.1 upgrade

Software Support

Hi,

I just upgraded my OJS from 3.1.0-1 to 3.1.1. After the upgrade, I am unable to add a new custom block and spinner is keep on spinning for ever. Also tried a new installation with the same result. Checked the PHP error log and it all looks good. Also checked the php.ini and no restrictions there either. Any suggestion?

Hi all,

Thanks for confirming, @haroldg!

For OJS 3.1.1-0 users who encounter this issue, they can apply this patch file using the diff tool, or, if they’re not comfortable applying patches, replacing the following files:

(Make sure you’re running OJS 3.1.1-0 if you’re replacing the above files! Generally it’s not a good practice to replace your code with code from github, but it’s safe to do for 3.1.1-0 in this case.)

Problem solved by removing all customBlockManager folder and replace it by this GitHub - pkp/customBlockManager: Plugin permitting the creation of custom sidebar blocks (OJS 3.0+ and OMP 1.1.1+)

Hi @haroldg and @asmecher,
Are you already on 3.1.1.4 and do you have custom blocks running?
It works fine with individual journals, but I cannot add custom blocks at site level.
Should I downgrade to 3.0. or is there a fix?

I tried the fixes above, but this does not work… :frowning:

Best,
Peter

Hi all,

Watch this issue for a fix: Custom Block Manager does not work in site settings · Issue #4173 · pkp/pkp-lib · GitHub
