PHP 8.0 Fatal error in search.tpl
Closed this issue · 1 comments
Describe the bug
Health Science theme has fatal error on search.tpl page when running on php 8.0 (+?)
To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
- Use the health science theme
- Visit the search page where the search filters would be displayed.
Expected behavior
Search page should load without errors.
Additional context
Page throws an error:
PHP Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Attempt to modify property “value” on null in /var/www/html/cache/t_compile
Found this to be a similar issue:
https://forum.pkp.sfu.ca/t/ojs-3-3-0-11-search-page-not-loading-in-health-sciences-theme/74391
Which was stated to be fixed with the change in this commit (on the second file, search.tpl):
default theme fix - pkp/ojs@d876fbc
However, the circumstance that we're running into is the same as the OP, on PHP 8.0 (not PHP 8.1). Updating with the change from the default theme has been tested working with php 7.4.30 and 8.0. It is presumed that PHP 8.1 would have the same issue.
