Developers of Sympa

[Daniel Stoye <address@concealed>]

Dear Dev-List,

i don't know if this is the right place, but as i'm not registered
with your bug tracker i'll try this way.


When listing all list that have a specific topic, for example:

sympaurl/lists/MyTopic

Sympa converts the topic name to lowercase in the get_lists method.
As i am using the filesystembackend, this yields no results.

Why? Because the topic name gets converted to lowercase and the 
perl_expr searches with a case sensitive grep.

I have fixed it locally with the following patch:

--- src/lib/Sympa/List.pm       2016-02-22 09:03:34.000000000 +0100
+++ src/lib/Sympa/List.pm       2016-02-22 10:26:14.017567862 +0100
@@ -8667,7 +8667,6 @@
                     push @expr_perl,
                         sprintf('$list->{"admin"}{"status"} eq "%s"', 
$ve);
                 } elsif ($k eq 'topics') {
-                    my $ve = lc $v;
                     if ($ve eq 'others' or $ve eq 'topicsless') {
                         push @expr_perl,
                             '! scalar(grep { $_ ne "others" } 
@{$list->{"admin"}{"topics"} || []})';


This does not affect users, who have SQL-Caching enabled, as this uses 
the 'LIKE' operator, which is case insensitiv.




Regards,
Daniel
