problems with greek again.
Using a r520 install,set to en_gb in prefs using the same setup as I have mentioned previously ,in article /write,
in the textarea field (article body) txp converts to entities.Same charracters are converted wrong,I’ve allready mentioned these.
The body in admin write textarea field get’s gibberished after saving,so output below:
<code>Για νά δουμε πώς δουλέβει αυτό τό π�?άγμα. Τά κάνει πα�?σινγκ ά�?αυε σωστά. Ή θα έχο�?με π�?οβλήματα. Πέστε μο�? εσείς. Ρόδα.</code>.

I remember having it working correctly with previous revisions,I’ll check later which one that was.

regards, marios

Are you referring to this thread ? We’re still waiting on more information.

The body in admin write textarea field get’s gibberished after saving,so output below:
Για νά δουμε πώς δουλέβει αυτό τό […]

Can you please post the exact steps to reproduce the problem, and a copy of the results you get, and the results you expect. e.g.:

1. Go to article/write
2. Enter “something” in the body
3. Click publish
..etc

I know it’s plainly obvious to you what the problem is, but descriptions like “get’s gibberished” could mean pretty much anything.

Zem , I post a detailed bug info report on the other thread that you mentioned, so we have it in the right place, thanks,

and best regards, marios

I just installed a test of txp and I have 2 problems

1) Although the Greek file is in the right directory there is no option to choose Greek from the language selection

2) When I use Greek I see html entities of Greek characters which also cuts off characters due to the character limit resulting in the rhomboid question mark character.

http://www.translatum.gr/txp/

Then I implemented the changes as seen in http://wiki.agitprop.gr/TextPattern/I18nMods

and I get these errors

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: mb_strtolower() in /home/translat/public_html/txp/textpattern/lib/txplib_head.php on line 26

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: mb_strtolower() in /home/translat/public_html/txp/textpattern/include/txp_article.php on line 397

However, I could not find the string
preg_match_all(“/\s.{1,50}”.preg_quote($q).”.{1,50}\s/i”,$result,$concat);

in taghandlers.php so it was not replaced.

Any working description in order to implement Greek?

Another problem is that the links to About etc do not include the textpattern subdirectory and point to the main site.

Spiros , thank for stopping by,I was allmost giving up for some input from greek forum members.

1) Althoutg the Greek file is in the right directory there is no option to choose Greek from the language selection

Those are not fully functional yet. The lang files for newer rev. are updated through XML-RPC.

2) When I use Greek I see html entities of Greek characters which also cuts off characters due to the character limit resulting in the rhomboid question mark character.

How , where , under which Server environment and with which version of TXP ? http://www.translatum.gr/txp/

Then I implemented the changes as seen in http://wiki.agitprop.gr/TextPattern/I18nMods

It has been stated by ZEM that TXP can not rely on this specific function,

http://wiki.agitprop.gr/TextPattern/I18nMods

In order to implement Nicos approach above,you should use older versions of TXP.
What would be quite helpfull, for any conclusions,if you could append your diagnostics,sql version. and collation setting used for mySQL,
platform settings,browser encoding ,browser version and language prefs in your browser.And allso the rev nr or version that you use for your
installs

P.S. I have edited your post a little,the rest didn’t show up (I hope you don’t mind), you have to enclose your code samples in code tags in order to have them show up in PunBB.

with best regards, marios

to compare your results with the other ones use the input strings over at this topic.
Allso , may be let’s just continue on the other mentioned thread. Makes more sense.
What is interesting to observe though on your install is that that textile converts to entity namees and not CDATA (dec.) values, something that I haven’t seen before yet.
I haven’t checked the rep recently ,may be someone allready changed the code, but let’s see what happenes after my next test runs tonight.
The respnse header shows that your Server sends text in UTF-8 , so from that side it’s ok.

Hmm, I am not sure what this, a remote function or something? How does it work? Do we need remote language files?

Well, who wants to downgrade to implement a standard feature like proper UTF support?

I am not sure what collation is or how you get it. I also tested Wordpress as well and it gives me perfect Modern and polytonic Greek in UTF-8 without entities or anything (see it here http://www.translatum.gr/wp)

@marios: spiros is getting named entities instead of numeric entities because mbstring extension is missingin PHP for him.

They connect to rpc.textpattern.com. That’s where the translators can now translate their stuff, and it becomes availabel to all users via remote update.

marios · 2005-07-25 16:55:30

Aha , I see, would it be able for you to login into phpmyadmin and check whether your database does a reall utf-8 collation,(allthough now things have changed a little)

Those are not fully functional yet. The lang files for newer rev. are updated through XML-RPC.Hmm, I am not sure what this, a remote function or something? How does it work? Do we need remote language files?

Yes, needed, XML-RPC is an API that can query databases directly and do web services(first introduced by Syndic8.Here it’s needed for TXP I18N Architecture.(It uses http protocol over port 80)

In order to not make this post too long, what do you get when you cut and paste those lang strings that are in the bugreport in the article input field and publish them.

I there any other way ,may be from your hosting provider, to find out what cllation they use , if you don’t have access to them through cpanel(phpmyamin)?

I am not sure what collation is or how you get it. I also tested Wordpress as well and it gives me perfect Modern and polytonic Greek in UTF-8 without entities or anything (see it here http://www.translatum.gr/wp)

So mysql ,can disinguish in which format different strings are encoded it uses collation values at different places (to make it short)

I’d really like to see ,what happens if you publish those strings in your TXP blog.

with best regards, marios

You can find out more about this settings either in the mysql manual or here
The version though that you use(versus mine) is a little different in this regard,because it can not treat multiple charsets at the same time.

Not exactly ,look at your page source, some carracters are converted to entities , so there as a mangle between entities and greek extended range.
Also wordress will get the page title browser headers wrong.

spiros · 2005-07-25 22:25:30

About collation:
Yes, I have CP and phpmyadmin, but how exactly do I get to see this? I tried the SHOW CHARACTER SET; but it came with

- You have an error in your SQL syntax. Check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near ‘CHARACTER SET’ at line 1

About Wordpress:
The only character converted to a numeric entity is the apostrophe.
Still, I would say it is much much better than all characters getting converted to entities.

It might be that you have only very limited options through your hosting company.
Allso mostly in Greece they do not upgrade very often, for instance on my greek hosting account I have the same old mysql version than you have.It was a small company that merged with FORTHNET.
In any case, what I was suggesting, since apparently you are the only one that is presnt here at the moment.
What would happen if you cut and paste the whole greek/coptic charracter range(like the one I mentionened) in your article field and post it to your weblog.
How does this deisplay in your backend after saving (both article and excerpt field) on your backend ?
Does it display the same in the article and excerpt field?
