I have had customers complaining about not being able to import data from Excel into Koha, but when I have saved the same data from LibreOffice Calc it has worked. Could this be the same problem? I followed instructions here to create a CSV file with a byte order mark: http://blog.toshredsyousay.com/post/27543408832/how-to-add-or-remove-a-byte-order-mark I tried importing it in master and encountered no errors. I'm going to mark this as resolved. IIRC, we later (like, a year later) determined that problem only showed up when uploading from 32-bit machines (and we only ever tested from Windows). But it is also possible that an upstream perl or apache fix has rolled out in the interim that fixed this for everyone. |
