If you want to try substitute XYZ in this log by 21

I put this ticket in priority high because we use this feature to extract data from indico.

Dear jas,

I detect that the contribution raising the exception is the one with id: 11.

I detect by going manually, but you can also do by indico_shell. You can take a look about the indico_shell in ​https://indico.cern.ch/getFile.py/access?contribId=29&sessionId=3&resId=2&materialId=slides&confId=235520.

you need to do for this special case:

conf = ConferenceHolder?().getById('21')
contrib = conf.getContributionById('11')

contrib.setDescription(contrib.getDescription().decode("ISO 8859-1").encode("utf-8"))

If it is not description it might can be another field and I would need to take a deeply look.

Dear jas,

Did you manage to fix it?

Best regards

Dear jas,

Maybe you did not receive the notification.

Could you please confirm that now it is working?

Best regards,

Sorry I didn't see your message.

I've already answer to you by email. But I don't knwon if you received it or not (maybe it's just technical account).

So here the resume of my mail :

No it's not working but I find the problem :

The problem appear IF AND ONLY IF both the CONTENT and the PRESENTER containt non 7bits-ASCII. (Presenter not primary author)

So if the content have some non-7bits-ASCII and the presenter don't have, everything work fine (event if the primary author get some UTF-8).

The only case I can find is when both have. I our situation the author got a "ç" and of course the content got many non 7 bits-characters.

I already do all check on the web interface and the problem is fully reproducible

Regards.

Hi,

Could you first check in your Apache configuration if you have

AddDefaultCharset? UTF-8

And for solve that problem in the shell you may do:

conf = ConferenceHolder().getById('21')
contrib = conf.getContributionById('11')
for spk in contrib.getSpeakerList():
    spk.setFamilyName(spk.getFamilyName().decode("ISO 8859-1").encode("utf-8"))
    spk.setFirstName(spk.getFirstName().decode("ISO 8859-1").encode("utf-8"))

dbi.commit()
