Hi,

what did you try to save?

I had made a new FAQ and was trying to save the new FAQ, when this error started happening.

[iconicperformances]

This is the HTML code I am inserting into the Edit Record, where I receive the error message. I cannot see anything different that I have done that would be creating this error.

Code: Select all

<p>Let me explain the use of the emojis again for all <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 255);"><strong>Iconic </strong></span>workers including, but not limited to cast and crew.</p>
<p><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 255);"><strong>Iconic</strong></span> introduced the emojis into Slack when it was discovered that Slack would not allow or offer an option to mark an item as read so that the Sender could know that the recipient saw the message and at least read it.</p>
<p>Over time, the use of the emojis grew significantly. What started as a way for the Sender to know that the recipient saw the message and at least read it, evolved into a tool for all <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 255);"><strong>Iconic</strong></span> Workers to differentiate between messages they saw, messages they needed to work on, and messages that they finished working on.</p>
<p>As all Iconic cast and crew on Slack began utilizing this procedure, each cast and crew member, especially those in leadership roles, had to ensure that the chosen emojis were unique and specific to them so that everyone could see at a glance who was marking off the message with their specific emoji.</p>
<p>With this in mind, specifically chosen emojis mean the following:</p>
<table style="border-collapse: collapse; width: 100%; height: 201.516px;" border="1"><colgroup><col style="width: 24.9677%;"><col style="width: 24.9677%;"><col style="width: 50.0647%;"></colgroup>

Hi,

thanks, I'll test now.

I tried 4.0.0-beta first, it works here.

I decided to break it down and insert each HTML code (ie: <...> to </...> and found that the actual error occurs when inserting the table html code. I have gone through the HTML table coding with a fine tooth comb and cannot spot any errors that would cause the error. Can you please check to see if I have missed anything or if there is a bug in the system when inserting tables?

Hi,

I found the issue, the emojis break the query if you use the "utf8mb4" encoding in MySQL. Which encoding do you use?

You can find it out using a tool like phpMyAdmin.

Hi Thorsten,
I found the bug. It is added emojis directly from the .tox:not(.tox-tinymce-inline) .tox-editor-header:not(.tox-editor-dock-transition) <button aria-label="Emojis" title="Emojis" type="button" ) button.

Once I erased the emojis, the problem stopped.

[Thorsten]

Hi,

you can migrate the table to "utf8mb4" to use emojis directly:

Code: Select all

ALTER TABLE faqdata CONVERT TO CHARSET utf8mb4;

It worked for me.

bye
Thorsten

[iconicperformances]

Do I add that in the HTML coding or in a php coded file?

[Thorsten]

Hi,

no, do you have access to your database with phpMyAdmin for example?

bye
Thorsten

[iconicperformances]

Yes I do?

[Thorsten]

Hi,

when run this query in the SQL mode:

Code: Select all

ALTER TABLE faqdata CONVERT TO CHARSET utf8mb4;

bye
Thorsten
