Top Forums Programming Issue with Keyboard or Char Encoding During Migration Post 303046264 by Neo on Tuesday 28th of April 2020 11:25:12 PM

Hi Dennis,

I think we are done with this odd encoding issue for now.

We need to stick with the plan of comparing old to new, with links for each; but we are moving off that target so let's call this task done.

Thanks for your help.

If anyone has links to posts in the new forums which have errors which are not in the old forums, please post both links and let me know what you found comparing old and new. Let's stick to my instruction of testing "bottom up" which means comparing the old with the new, posting the two links to each one (old and new) with details of what is different.

Continue here: Please Help Integrity Test New Discourse Forums V2

Otherwise, let's move on to other tasks.

Thanks so much for your help again!

I am going close this sidebar issues thread on encoding because people are not providing links to old versus new, but are posting information with no links to compare, so please forgive me for pointing this out, but if people are going to not follow our testing instructions and are going to post without posting links to old v. new, then it's best we stop and move on to other tasks. This testing phase is not about "speculation". It is brute force, bottom up testing.

Anyway, I'm done with this side bar task for now.. I know exactly what the issues are related to this encoding issue. Most originate from in the original forums and the vast majority of those are spam posts which are not public. I'm not going to waste time cleansing spam, LOL nor writing code for remote outliers caused by strange encoding issues originating in old forums.

Thanks again for all the great testing, everyone!

Great job!

Template::Provider::Encoding(3pm)			User Contributed Perl Documentation			 Template::Provider::Encoding(3pm)

NAME
Template::Provider::Encoding - Explicitly declare encodings of your templates SYNOPSIS
use Template::Provider::Encoding; use Template::Stash::ForceUTF8; use Template; my $tt = Template->new( LOAD_TEMPLATES => [ Template::Provider::Encoding->new ], STASH => Template::Stash::ForceUTF8->new, ); # Everything should be Unicode # (but you can pass UTF-8 bytes as well, thanks to Template::Stash::ForceUTF8) my $author = "x{5bae}x{5ddd}"; # this will emit Unicode flagged string to STDOUT. You might # probably want to binmode(STDOUT, ":encoding($enccoding)") # before process() call $tt->process($template, { author => $author }); # in your templates [% USE encoding 'utf-8' -%] My name is [% author %]. { ... whatever UTF-8 bytes } DESCRIPTION
Template::Provider::Encoding is a Template Provider subclass to decode template using its declaration. You have to declare encoding of the template in the head (1st line) of template using (fake) encoding TT plugin. Otherwise the template is handled as utf-8. [% USE encoding 'utf-8' %] Here comes utf-8 strings with [% variable %]. DIFFERNCE WITH OTHER WAYS
UNICODE option and BOM Recent TT allows "UNICODE" option to Template::Provider and by adding it Provider scans BOM (byte-order mark) to detect UTF-8/UTF-16 encoded template files. This module does basically the same thing in a different way, but IMHO adding BOM to template files is a little painful especially for non-programmers. Template::Provider::Encode Template::Provider::Encode provides a very similar way to detect Template file encodings and output the template into various encodings. This module doesn't touch output encoding of the template and instead it emits valid Unicode flagged string. I think the output encoding conversion should be done by other piece of code, especially in the framework. This module doesn't require you to specify encoding in the code, nor doesn't guess encodings. Instead it forces you to put "[% USE encoding 'foo-bar' %]" in the top of template files, which is explicit and, I think, is a good convention. AUTHOR
