Hm? The things I'm fixing to make it work, is to undo what htmlentities does to uni-codes, so that the browser will display them as intended.
I know you should have centralised routines to print text out, but as this site have been developed over 8+ years, this is sadly not the case everywhere.. :)
But perhaps I misunderstood something? |

I understand, had the same issues at work with an old engine we used (spaghetti engine). We decided to keep the whole database/engine Latin-1, and allow users to input their weird char-texts in UTF-8, which got inserted into the latin-1 tabels (as double bytes, no html entities). This to prevent digging through many lines of code to add encoding/decoding. When you fetch out the data, it's displayed correctly again.
Now that I think of it, it may be more work to convert the last 128 chars from the latin-1 charset (which are probably used in your database alot) to their UTF-8 representatives. :/
So it worked for us then, but only because there was no latin-1 (last 128-255 chars) data entered yet. |

Now I've fixed some of it..
But unless you guys experiment and mess up CSDb, I'll never find the missing places, so don't be shy. :)

And if we're about quoting bug.
There's this weir behavior, when you press quote button, it:
a) doesn't let you edit the quoting, so you can't ie. delete text you don't refer to
b) don't display the nick of person quoted.
So there, either one uses BB himself [quote="person"] blah blah mlah [/quote] or quoting is sometimes weird :)

In the oneliner at the frontpage this: ażęółć gives garbage on the second letter from the end.
edit. weird but I tried again and it's fine, except the system entered a space between two last letters.
Other interesting thing is - editing this post gives me back codes instead of Polish letters in the edit box.

About the oneliners, it's because there is put in spaces when a string is too long without spaces, to make it break. I should avoid to put spaces in codes - will think about ways to avoid that.
When you submit a post, the special signs are converted to the & # xxx codes, so that is also what you get when editing the post. Not sure if I can get around that? A problem?
Edit: Fixed the problem when editing posts. Was very simple actually. :) |

Dziękuję Perff!
Well, it was a joke, which would no longer be a joke when it got fixed ;-)
And I totally agree with booker, that using the QUOTE button, you should be able to edit who and what exactly is quoted.. besides, this quote, quotes another quote, but the first quote is then removed, making it pretty hard to follow the discussion.
When using the QUOTE button, I'd expect that the entire post is quoted, including the quotes it contains.

To change the qoute-thing would require a rather big rewriting of the forum I'm afraid.
But perhaps an alternativ qoute button which uses the BB-code quote instead would be an option? (would take all text from the quoted post, and put the BBcode around it) |
