Description Kyle M Hall 2015-04-22 13:39:41 UTC
If a patron has a backslash character ( \ ) in a field displayed in the patron search, and that patron is part of a set of search results, those search results will never display. Instead, it will just sit at the "Processing..." message forever.

Comment 3 Jonathan Druart 2015-04-22 14:25:55 UTC
The bad news is that the issue is certainly also present on members/tables/guarantor_search.tt patroncards/tables/members_results.tt, serials/tables/members_results.tt and common/patron_search.tt

But some of the patron information is not displayed on them.
Comment 4 Katrin Fischer 2015-04-22 20:07:59 UTC
With the patch applied, there are "" appearing in the result table, even for empty fields.

Works in circulation.pl.  Problem still exists in member.pl and guarantor_search.pl.  Don't know about other areas.

Hi Christopher,
What does not work? I have tried again it seems to work.
Note that this patch does not modify the circulation.pl

Turns out the patch is not applying.  Please take a look at the patch when you can.

Did the sign off, but had to figure out how to work around issues the special characters in your test plan created.  FYI.  Otherwise, looks good.  Works great.

Sorry, I found another something - try adding a " to the address data - it will display as " on the patron result list.

Yes, either we escape html characters or not :)
It seems that there are not in other places, but in this case if a <td> or <tr> is found, it will make the table explodes.
But... who does put these tags or quote in an address field? :)
Comment 15 Katrin Fischer 2015-05-03 20:27:09 UTC
It literally showed up as &quot; in the result list - but retesting it now it is ok.

[PASSED QA] Bug 14044: Escape json strings for patron searches

In a couple of patron searches, the address is displayed.
If the address contain invalid json characters, DataTables won't manage
to parse the results and display them.
This patch makes the templates more readable by creating a BLOCK instead
of a long line and escape the invalid json characters calling the TT
plugin (To.json).

Test plan:
Edit a patron and add something like:
    patron <address> \123 ☎ ⚑
in the address field.

Search for this patron using the main patron search (members/member.pl)
and the guarantor search.
Confirm that a result with this patron is correctly displayed.

Regression test: Since Koha::Template::Plugin::To::json is modified,
confirm that the add users to basket search (on acqui/basket.pl?basketno=X
click on the "Add user" button) still works as expected.

Patches pushed to master.

Thanks Jonathan!
Comment 19 Liz Rea 2015-07-07 09:00:21 UTC
Feeling like this might be a candidate for 3.18, so making note to myself to check it.

Comment 20 Liz Rea 2015-07-07 09:33:17 UTC
This is a problem all the way back into 3.18, and the patches won't come over cleanly. Might we have a 3.18 version of this?

Cheers,
Liz
Comment 21 Liz Rea 2015-07-08 03:51:13 UTC
Actually I was wrong, it wasn't the slash, it was \r\n in the address fields that are doing it - so yeah, backslashes explode this in 3.18.

hi, yes... is the new status not correct?
Comment 24 Liz Rea 2015-07-30 21:23:40 UTC
:) nope, it needs a patch for 3.18, but there isn't one yet. :)

Chris didn't pick it for 3.20 yet. So it should remain 'Pushed to master' so he notices it. Well, or Liz could just tell him :-D
Comment 26 Liz Rea 2015-07-30 22:11:00 UTC
Hehe I don't tell Chris what to do. ^.^
