New bug about the preview message : when you try to preview the message your are typing, a part is lost when there is BBcodes or parts of codes PHP (quoted). You can see it here on this forum : just edit my message and click on " preview " : this is what I have :



Edit : I also tried the SAME message on a fresh install with the basic template : same result.

Ah yes ... Now that I think about it, something that might be changed is in the ACP -> Forum : when you try to delete a forum/category while there is some subforums/cats, it tells you " nowhere to move to " then you have to delete aaaaaall the subcategories first and sometimes it's really boring :X

New report : you can't assign a special rank to a group. When you try and submit, it never save the changes about it. After some tests, when you submit it always reset the value " group_rank " in the table " ip_groups " to " 0 ". I even tried to change this value manually : nothing to notice, it works, but when I update the group it gets reseted. The rank doesn't even show up in the forum =/

I am a litle bit late, but great news AND great work MG.

Thank you MG, utf-8 was much needed really :D

My concern is whether it will be a easily and correctly converted into an existing database, from characters ISO (rusian, greeke etc) in UTF.

I have created a convertor, but it needs to be tested.

for what i can say, it works Luca.

got a double of my mod site running with latest svn in spanish

conversion went quick and with no errors i think.

only thing i got to say, wouldnt it been easier to use útf8 encode/ decode for the lang files.

accented words look a bit funny and crazy in the lang files now.

Did you try to run install/convert_utf8.php?

yep I run that script .

uploaded and overwrote includes/db with the fresh ones and run that script afterwards with no probs

Great, thanks for reporting.

Regarding lang files, I think it's up to translators... English doesn't have accented letters. :LOL:

BTW

I´m trying to fidle an admin_plugins_extended together, with some new functions, like uploader/unzipper-extractor to the final folders .

function i´ve seen on joomla, only thing is, where must be an xml file included in the zip, that tells extractor where to extract each file to.

i´m basing this unzipper on pclzip and pclxml libs.

but i still need some ideas , on how to move the files around ( ftp script maybe) or an pseudo ftp script

I have already coded / integrated most of those files functions.

Original pclzip.lib.php is in includes folder, while in includes/class_files.php you can find all functions I have coded to manage both files and folders (I personally use those scripts to manage local packages).

The problem is that not all servers allow writing permissions... you can check how WordPress works, because its plugins system is really well coded.

I solved it for german with another saving each file as UNIX UTF-8 without BOM

Try it with one file to test. Or send me one, I will do it for you.
