500: Meetings - Slim Application Internal Error: Call to undefined function ElanEv\Driver\studip_utf8encode()

[Rillke]

Hi,
we are running Stud.IP 5.2.6 and Meetings 2.70 and we receive the following error when we try to create a DFNVC conference room:

1. Activate Meetings in your course
2. Actions: Add room
3. Fill in room name and select DFNVC
4. Press "create room"
5. see error: 500: Meetings - Slim Application Internal Error: Call to undefined function ElanEv\Driver\studip_utf8encode()
   

The room is created nonetheless but pressing "participate" will possibly throw the same error again or it will send you to the meetings calendar:

Further information:

studip_utf8encode() which was part of the Stud.IP core is removed since 5.0.

The Stud.IP 4.6 implementation:

/**
 * Does not encode anything anymore and just returns the data it received.
 *
 * @deprecated
 *
 * @param mixed $data
 *
 * @return mixed unaltered input $data
 */
function studip_utf8encode($data)
{
    return $data;
}

/**
 * Does not decode anything anymore and just returns the data it received.
 *
 * @deprecated
 *
 * @param mixed $data
 *
 * @return mixed unaltered input $data
 */
function studip_utf8decode($data)
{
    return $data;
}

Hi @Rillke
That would be great if you could test the linked PR.

Thanks in advance

Great, thank you! Appears to work, we still have to test with names with some special characters.
