Description Fridolin Somers 2014-01-10 10:51:37 UTC
When OpacBrowseResults syspref is on, the detail page contains a results browser.
When search therm contains non-ASCII character, the search query is not well encoded in this browser.

I don't experience this encoding issue, using queries with Norwegian characters or French diactric marks. The query is always correctly displayed. It's also displayed correctly after I apply the patch..

Odd.
When I test on master :
- simple search at OPAC with "centré"
- I have 5 results
- I click on a result
- I click on "Back to results"
=> I get the page : "cgi-bin/koha/opac-search.pl?idx=&q=centré", "centré" in search box and no results.

Hm, I'm on master too. When I search for "øl", get 22 results, click on a result, click "Back to results", I get the page:
=> http://localhost:9000/cgi-bin/koha/opac-search.pl?q=%C3%B8l
"øl" beeing url-encoded into %C3%B8l
Its displayed correctly in the browser:
=> Results of search for 'kw,wrdl: øl'

I notice you have idx= in your url, why I dont have that?

I am very interested in any encoding-related bugs, because we also experience them on a seemingly random basis.

It seems to me that it is not dealt with properly once and for all in Koha (ie. force utf-8 everywhere), but instead patched here and there, with the result that we sometimes get double-encoding issues. However, I do not know enough about Perl or Koha yet, so I might be totally wrong

Well, this sounds (unfortunately) quite correct to me :)

I've tested with "øl". It works.
Can you test with one of ê,é,è,à,â,ù ?

I mean this patch is not needed for "øl".

I did also try with french characters,
It also works:
=> Results of search for 'kw,wrdl: andré'
   http://localhost:9000/cgi-bin/koha/opac-search.pl?q=andr%C3%A9

Same with à, ė & ê

Can it be that your OS/browser submits the querystring with a French encoding?
Comment 9 Fridolin Somers 2014-02-10 08:06:55 UTC
Without patch, when searching "centré", I get in "Back to results" : opac-search.pl?idx=&q=centr%C3%83%C2%A9
My locale is "fr-FR.UTF-8".
Seems this bug exists only since 3.14. Can you test on a fresh install ?

By fresh install, do you mean the debian package? And not from git master?

No, I mean an install created from scratch, not an existing install with sources updated to current master.

If someone else could test, it would be great.

Fridolin, could you check this is still valid on current master? Also... patch doesn't apply.
