Problem with Unicode (UTF-8) Malayalam

[Sarany]

Hi,
The phpMyFAQ v1.6.2 application is installed successfully.
But there is an error; I am unable to Answer any question which is prepared in my language "Malayalam" - Unicode ( UTF-8 )

Please see the problem here:
http://www.kuttiady.com/faq/index.php?action=open

- First Question is having the problem which is prepared in Malayalam Language.
- Second one is working fine which is prepared in English Language.

Could you please check this problem...

Thank you...

Hi,

right. You do not have any categories defined in English language, so you can't answer or add questions for that language. Both answer pages working fine with Firefox.

Thanks for your support,
As you suggested; I just added new categories in English & Malayalam, but the Answering option still doesn't work with Internet Explorer.

See the following things:
1 - This is not a Language related issue.
2 - Answer option doesn't work if the Question is too big. (any Language)
3 - There is limitation in adding Text. (Please try to add the complete content of the Readme.txt)

Same problem appears with English question!! if the question is lengthy one. (half of the Readme.txt)

Hi,

right, this is an issue with IE. I'm working on a fix!

Hi,

it seems that IE does not allow to use more than 256 characters in a GET variable. We have to change this that we use POST instead of GET. This is a bigger change and we'll "fix" that first in 2.0.0-dev to see if the work is worth to do it for 1.6.4, too.

By the way, would it possible for you to translate phpMyFAQ to Malayalam?

bye
Thorsten

Thankyou Thorsten,
I hope the problem will be solved soon...
Yes, I have plan to prepare the Malayalam Unicode Language file for phpMyFAQ. But, I stuck with that problem...

Thank you...

Hi,
I just (fresh)installed the new version of phpMyFAQ 1.6.3
But no luck; the problem is still there.

And also i saw an error message in the Admin -> Edit Records window.

Code: Select all

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/kuttiady/public_html/faq/admin/record.show.php on line 71
n/a

Thank you...

Hi,
PMF 1.6.3 don't address your issue: as Thorsten said, we're studing the changes in the code within PMF 2.0.x development branch. The fix will be probably added into PMF 1.6.4.

Hi,
Let me show you one more bug in the same sequence.
The Question text displays junk characters only; if I Edit any Open Question and add Text as Answer.
But the same Text displays correctly in Admin -> Edit Records Window.

I hope this bug also can be fixed in the next (1.6.4) release.

Hi,

But the same Text displays correctly in Admin -> Edit Records Window.

Viewing your faq service I've seen many &#NNN;: they are the HTML entities for those chars not include into the ISO-8859-1 map. I do not know what should be the language of that text but here are two suggestions:

1. Do not enter chars not belonging to the selected user language;
2. IF you want to enter chars different from "en" using English you need to move EN to UTF-8. Open the lang/language_en.php and modify it for reading:

   Code: Select all

   $PMF_LANG["metaCharset"] = "utf-8"

Yes, I have plan to prepare the Malayalam Unicode Language file for phpMyFAQ. But, I stuck with that problem...

the issue is now solved in CVS so it is also solved in the next release, PMF 1.6.4.
That said, now everything seems to be ready for your Malayalam translation: it would be nice to release PMF 1.6.4 with your translation already inside .

I am really sorry;
I couldn't start to work with Malayalam Language.
I will send you the Language File whenever it's ready. So, it's better to announce the PMF 1.6.4 without Malayalam Language file.

Thank you...

[matteo]

Hi,
no problem, feel free to submit the Malayalam language file when it will be ready .

Matteo
