Description Mark Hofstetter 2020-10-02 08:35:03 UTC
misc/cronjobs/overdue_notices.pl

-text option does not use utf8 to print/output the texts - this renders german umlauts unreadable

Hi Mark, 

this already looks good! Some small things: 
- the subject line should always start with Bug XXXX: description of fix
- a description of the problem should be included 
- and a step by step test plan

Finally, once a patch is uploaded, make sure to switch the status to "Needs Signoff" as this will be the queue/search testers are looking at.

Hi,

thanks for the feedback - do you mean the subject line of the patch I guess - or some other?

Bug 26601: Add utf8 encoding to text output of overdue_notices.pl

This patch sets the UTF8 encoding for output of overdue_notices.pl when
outputting to txt.

To test:
1/ Create ODUE text with a utf8 encoded characher, eg german umlauts
   <url>/cgi-bin/koha/tools/letter.pl?op=add_form&module=circulation&code=ODUE
2/ Run
   perl overdue_notices.pl -text [-library <library-name>] -test
3/ Confirm text now inludes properly encoded umlauts

With German umlauts on my system the editor still showed the
characters correctly (probably guessing the right encoding).
Using Chinese made the problem visible.

Fleshed out the test plan a little bit more and also tested the csv option that appears to work correctly.
