Extended chars not allowed in some fields

Postby sarabob » Thu Apr 10, 2008 7:45 pm

Name, type and 'who created it' don't allow extended characters (eg é) - the fields go red.

ahh..easily fixed, I had the compilers encoding set wrong.
Next time I update the edit review page (say, to fix a few spelling errors) this should be fixed too.

Still getting errors on 'Who created it' field.

on page http://www.darkflame.co.uk/Rateoholic_b ... d=365#blah there is a link to 'search for Sabriél" at the top (including the random ending double quote). Clicking on this takes me to a 'no results found' page, with sabri%c3%a9l in the search box.

I love iso-8859-1/utf-8 problems, me.

Edit: I swear you fix problems as I type them. Did the 'search for "Sabriél" just gain its leading double-quote, or is it me?

not me guv, I fixed some quote errors with things today, but not the character set issue.

I notice the name of your review is stored in the database as "Sabriél", which works when searched for.
The problem hopefully is just a mis-match in text format versions between the javascripts.
Everything is now UTF-8 now in my source, but it might take a few days till all those versions are compiled and updated online. (as I'm fixing many things at once).
Hopefully if I'm very lucky, thats all it is.
If not, I'll be back in a few days experimenting.
