Hi,

Thanks for the reply, I just install a copy of phpMyFAQ 1.4.0 into my test server and there is no problem with unicode support. However, when I try to save the FAQ as a PDF format, the unicode all becomes suomething like #958949 or some other funny symbol. Will this be fixed soon?...

Hi,

I have to look at this issue. We use FPDF for generating the PDFs and I don't know if this class supports Unicode.

Hi,

okay, it seems, FPDF doesn't support UTF-8.

One solution could be, to convert the unicode into iso-8859-1 or whatever you need.

Hi,

How do I convert them to the suported format?...

Hi,

I am working on some functions to converting the records before generating PDFs. This will be added to phpMyFAQ 1.4.1. I hope this is not too late.

- include internal links with dropdown box

What's this Thorsten?

Hi Nick,

if you want to link in record A to another record B, you can do this easily with this drop-down box. It includes the whole link to the faq entry.

I hope my explanation is understandable.

in the 1.5.0, pfd export all messages with non approved/non active messages
is it possible to add a selection for exporting only active messages ?

Hi,

this is a bug, it should only export the active articles. I'll fix it.
