Robert – I’ve tested r3007 “live” and on XAMPP with standard CSS as well as my own brand and can’t see any problems with FF3, Opera9, Google Chrome, Safari3 (Win), IE8 and IE6. That’s all on Windows so if anyone cares to check with Linux, Mac…

The wondertag plugin still works. I’ve been testing some of my old sites with the 4.0 dev version, and they work side by side. Using smd_where_used you can easily go through and nip out each instance in your own.

I also relied heavily on chh_if_data, which is no longer needed if you use txp:if_variable. That plugin works too.

Thanks, John. I appreciate the confirmation. I’ve used chh_if_data as well, so that’s another piece of good news.

Problem with uploading files – when file with russian name is uploded, everuthing before extension is dropped out:
Was русский файл.doc before upload – becomes .doc after upload. Here is the link to zip with file named in russian, for some case

^^ that’s a side effect of the filename being sanitized to avoid having a percent-encoded URL.

It’s very uncomfortable to rename each file in before uploading… And it’s not good at all that i can’t see my native language in file names. Isn’t it possible to save cyrillics symbols? Please…

We’re in a kind of dilemma here: For security reasons, we’ve got to be rather strict on the set of characters we want to accept in file names. On the other hand, a lot of international characters won’t pass this fence.

Would it be sufficient to automatically rename the file to RUSSKIIFAIL.doc upon upload?

Of course, it’s much better that deleting filename as it goes now. But if there is no any way to save cyrillic symbols, I agree with translitaration :( But i think you undestand how inconvinient this is for users…

I understand, of course. But given the fact that filenames are used in public URLs (and not just on the admin side), we have to obey RFC 1738 which leaves us with two choices:

  1. Have percent-encoded international characters in the file download URIs
  2. Transliterate

I don’t know which approaches exist in non-latin web communities for tackling this requirement. What’s the most common and accepted approach for cyrillic parts of URIs from your point of view? German umlauts for instance are read in their transliterated form without any ado.

Do filenames appear in url? I thought txp calls them to download with the help of their id?

May be move this discuss to separate topic?
