#!/usr/bin/perl use DBI; # Script to create temporary tokens for voters. # # How to use this script # ====================== # # Look for the elections/referendum id in the database. Like # "SELECT * FROM elections" # Look for the current one and remember its id. # # # If don't don't have a row for the current election yet, consider using # BEGIN; SET NAMES 'utf8'; # INSERT INTO elections (name, voting_start, voting_end, choices_nb, question) # VALUES ('2010 Spring Board of Directors Election', # TIMESTAMP('2009-06-08 00:00:00'), # TIMESTAMP('2009-06-22 23:59:59'), # 7, # 'Which candidates would you like to see in the GNOME Foundation Board?'); # # INSERT INTO election_choices (election_id, choice) # VALUES ((SELECT LAST_INSERT_ID()), 'Firstname Lastname1'), # ((SELECT LAST_INSERT_ID()), 'Firstname Lastname2'), # ((SELECT LAST_INSERT_ID()), 'Youget Theidea'); # And "COMMIT;" if there were no errors. Or "ROLLBACK;" if there were errors. # # You should then use this script like this: # $ ./create-tmp-tokens.pl 1 tokens.txt maildata.txt # # where 1 is the elections/referendum id in the database. # # tokens.txt now contains SQL statements you can use to create the temporary # tokens in the database. You can do that with, e.g. # mysql -h button-back -u username -p foundation < tokens.txt # # maildata.txt now contains the data that will be used by mail-instructions.pl # # This script assumes, that there is a "electorate" Table which can be a # simple VIEW created like this: # CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW `foundation`.`electorate` AS SELECT id, firstname, lastname, email FROM `foundation`.`foundationmembers` WHERE DATE_SUB(CURDATE(), INTERVAL 2 YEAR) <= foundationmembers.last_renewed_on; die "Usage: create-tmp-tokens.pl \n" unless $#ARGV == 2; $election_id = $ARGV[0]; open TOKENS, ">$ARGV[1]" || die "Cannot open file $ARGV[1]: $!"; open MAILDATA, ">$ARGV[2]" || die "Cannot open file $ARGV[2]: $!"; my $datasource = "dbi:mysql:foundation:button-back:3306"; my $dbi = DBI->connect ($datasource, 'username', 'password') or die "Unable to connect mysql server: $DBI:errstr\n"; my $query = "SET NAMES 'utf8'"; my $dbh = $dbi->prepare($query); $dbh->execute(); my $query = "SELECT id,firstname,lastname,email FROM electorate"; my $dbh = $dbi->prepare($query); $dbh->execute(); $dbh->bind_columns(\$id, \$firstname, \$lastname, \$email); print TOKENS "SET NAMES 'utf8';\n"; while ($dbh->fetch()) { @chars = ( "A" ..
