Fix Codeigniter disallowed characters error with payment types that have accents #4232
Conversation

Hi problem with this fix is that existing data for payment types will need to be migrated to base64. So it's not backward compatible |
|
Hi @jekkos, sorry for the late response, I just see your comment, but you are not right, if you check my code I'm not storing anything with base64, I'm just taking the stored "id" that is not a real id, is the string of the payment type ( in the language selected, that is what is causing the error ) and then I encoded on the frontend template to use it on the url to send the data without errors to the controller, then I decode the frontend data and continue from there, there is no need to migrate data. |

You are right, this is only to store data in the session. Any reason you did not use url encoding? |
Because encoding it throws same exception (the problem is when the url is decoded by codeigniter), I tried several options, and finally this one is the only one I found that works. |

This should be a temporary fix, as is a better solution to have some kind of enum with ids and descrption, but this will be a bigger change.
