Hi,

i downloaded the latest pligg beta 9.

Im translating the language file to arabic, things are working fine, since these language settings are not saved in the db, its saved in lang.conf.

but i see that the tags created are saved in a table in the db.

so this is what happens:

when i create a tag, its displayed on the screen in the tag cloud section properly.

but the URL of the tag is displayed in this format:

http://path/search.php?search=%D8%A7...D8%A9&tag=true

any fix for this?

also, its strange, the arabic characters are displayed properly, but when i look in the table in the db, for the tags table, the characters are weird, like this:

الكويت

do i need to change any settings on that table in order for the tags to be shown properly?

another thing, if i create a category in arabic, the link of that category is shown properly

http://localhost/PliggTest/upcoming.php?category=العرب

the bold text is the arabic word.

HOWEVER,

when i click on that category link, all stories are listed, not only the stories in this category.


any help?

thanks

anyone aware of any fix?

you can fix the category bug by turning off friendly URLs for categories. admin > config > friendly urls > catgories. Change it to false and it will use the cateogry id number and not the name

kbeeveer,
its good that you replied.

i have that option to false already, its still using the category name.

Any other suggestions?

If you put your mouse over the link you should see the arabic characters. This is just the way utf-8 characters are represented.
This %D8%A7%D9%84%D8%B4%D8%A7%D8%B1%D9%82%D8%A9 is basically the same as the Arabic equivalent word.

I've seen this with various different languages and i'm not sure if it's a mysql or phpmyadmin settings that needs changing. All i know is when php store utf-8 it comes up like that in phpmyadmin.

thanks savant.

really useful info.

do you have any solution to the category problem?

Category problem:

After searching and searching finally I revolved the problem

open the file: pligg/libs/search.php

search for the code:

//$catId = $db->get_var("SELECT category_id from " . table_categories . " where category_name = '" . $this->category . "';");
$catId = get_category_id($this->category);

replace it with this:

$catId = $db->get_var("SELECT category_id from " . table_categories . " where category_name = '" . $this->category . "';");
//$catId = get_category_id($this->category);

Enjoy..
