Re: rvm_latin1_to_utf8 (v0.5)

Perhaps you should open a new topic about this, because it’s not really related to the plugin this topic is about. My plugin should be able to convert your tables to use utf8 on Nicola. After that just a matter of migrating the database to a different server and it becomes a PHPmyAdmin export/import question.

Re: rvm_latin1_to_utf8 (v0.5)

I am trying to update the character set of an old site using this plugin but it truncates all article bodies.

The site was using txp4.0.3 in joyent and it has now been moved to bluehost where I upgraded it to the latest stable release, 4.5.5.

Re: rvm_latin1_to_utf8 (v0.5)

I’ve missed that, very interesting.
I would need a thing like this to migrate a phpBB forum (collation problem): is there something that could help me?
Any docs?

Thanks in advance.

Only the article bodies… and all the bodies or just a few? Did it completely empty the article body? Could it be that the original articles contained non-utf8 characters?

You could have a look at the plugin code. That might get you started. Otherwise ask around on the phpBB forum. Perhaps someone else already wrote something similar.

It truncated all article bodies without emptying them completely. The original articles contained texts in english copy pasted from word.

Re: rvm_latin1_to_utf8 (v0.5)

How long are the truncated article bodies? The part that remains, I mean, in bytes?

Re: rvm_latin1_to_utf8 (v0.5)

I restored the site and it is currently using Latin1 but I can repeat the installation of your plugin tomorrow and answer your question. Is there anything other info you may find helpful and I should look out for?

Re: rvm_latin1_to_utf8 (v0.5)

Hmmmmmm I’m trying this to update an old TXP database mis-restored at some point with some funky encoding. When I activate the plugin I get

The rvm_latin1_to_utf8 plugin has been removed, because your MySQL version is lower than 4.1.

This is Dreamhost, and best as I can tell (title bar in Sequel Pro) MySQL 5.6.25. Any suggestions?


Yes, I have tried turning it off and on.
