Inconsistent character encoding for school name/title #117

Closed tuan-tu-tran closed 9 years ago

tuan-tu-tran commented 9 years ago

When a new version is pushed, it looks like the name of the school suffers from encoding error.

By logging in and re-editing the school name, it fixes it until the next version push.

~~To be confirmed~~ see bug identification below

Test

upon install, choose a name/title with accent
on a legacy page e.g. index.php, the name/title must be properly displayed
on a new page e.g. backup, the name/title must be properly displayed
modify the name/title to something else with accent
on a legacy page e.g. index.php, the name/title must be properly displayed
on a new page e.g. backup, the name/title must be properly displayed

Actually, it's because when we install, the school config file is written in utf8 whereas:

legacy pages (pre-symfony) expect school data in latin1
new pages (post-symfony) expect data in utf8

Furthermore, the page to edit school data is in latin1 so it will rewrite the file in latin1

Solution

since it's easier to change new pages, we will keep writing the file in latin1 but before display, we'll transcode it to utf8 for display on new pages Also, the install page must be adapted to write the file in latin1
