[Isis-users] updates available for ABCD 1.3t

[De Smet Egbert]

Renate,

the blue screen without any fields shown at the 'sin formato' (we would like that translated to...) is something caused by a new experimental script 'fmt.php' in the htdocs/central/dataentry folder. In certain new 'repository'-oriented applications we need a 'Record Protection Field' (which contains a password for that record specifically) which then also requires the 'ALL'-format cannot be seen except by administrators to hide that password for non-authorized users. Clearly something is wrong with that and we need to correct.
Luckily I have kept the original script in the same folder as 'fmt.php.ga' and by renaming that to simply fmt.php the problem is gone.

For the scrambled diacritics, please check the encoding of the file 'config.php' (in htdocs/central). I don't have this problem in my Windows installation, so I think this is a result of several factors locally to be checked : the browser settings and the encoding of the first file read (config.php) which defines the encoding. In my copy encoding info of config.php says 'ANSI', which should be correct.
In htdocs/central/common/header.php there is the following code :
	if (isset($cisis_ver) and $cisis_ver=="unicode/"){
		//echo "<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=windows-1256\" />";
		echo "<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />";
	}else{
		echo "<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1\" />";
	}
which in principle should set the charset as ISO-8859-1 (most suited for Western international content) except if the database is Unicode where utf-8 is to be used.
If anybody has better ideas how to cope with this stubbern problem (I also had to fight it many times), suggestions are welcome !

i installed the latest scripts on both my Windows 7 and Ubuntu ABCD.
In both the display format for display all (sin formato) just gives a blue and empty screen. See screen shots.
Formerly it was showing all the fields in a format showing fields and subfields.  What script is responsible for this problem?

Secondly,after the upgrade the problem with the garbled text on Ubuntu 12.04  is back. I had hoped that I solved the problem with the change of the default_charset in the php.ini file in /etc/php5/apache2. On an installation where I did not do the upgrade, the text displays correctly until now.

Any solution to get it working again?
