kool on debian 12 with php7.4 - smarty3 shared.mb_str_replace.php needs old version (solved)

[spblinux]

strictly spoken off-topic: I am using churchtool R48 non docker on debian 12, but I thought it is useful to document my "patch" here.

environment: debian 12, apache2 using php7.4 (which is supported by debian 12)

observed bug (bug message mail to admin): groups / datafields: click on "+" did throw an error at
line 75 /usr/share/php/smarty3/plugins/shared.mb_str_replace.php

It showed up, that commit AnrDaemon/smarty@ed14f52?diff=split&w=0
of smarty3 (version 3.1.47-2 included in debian 12) does not work with churchtool R48.

Solution: Use the previous version of this file which is attached to this post.
smarty3_deb12_koolR48.zip

Thank you @spblinux for sharing your workaround!

I leave this open for community contributions as my church has migrated to ChurchTools and I am working on Korga to support features like mailing lists like in kOOL also for ChurchTools.
