Re: BIG BUG with international charakters and Opera browser (7.10)

not a punbb bug, a opera bug...who uses opera anyway?

5

Re: BIG BUG with international charakters and Opera browser (7.10)

I use opera... but invision, openbb, vbulletin works well done....?

Re: BIG BUG with international charakters and Opera browser (7.10)

Hmm, so what you are saying is that if you use Opera and type czech characters, they come out wrong? And this only occurs in PunBB? Sounds very strange. The handling of "special characters" in PunBB is more or less identical to that in InvisionBoard.

Re: BIG BUG with international charakters and Opera browser (7.10)

hmm, very very strange, maybe invision and those other boards print stuff out differently.?

Re: BIG BUG with international charakters and Opera browser (7.10)

No, that's what I was trying to say in my previous post :)

I dont know why, but page coding definitely isn't. I make change to Windows-1250 and nothing.... IMHO is in processing form..... I look to my database... of course, this database is also good target ;]

Re: BIG BUG with international charakters and Opera browser (7.10)

No, I see this problem first time...

Re: BIG BUG with international charakters and Opera browser (7.10)

In Invision, special characters are stored in DB exactly as I see in keyboard... not as combination special characters like double cross like IE in PunBB...not as ? in Opera.
I think that is in the inserting/formating text into the DB. I dont know how insert Invision (1.2), but PunBB is different...

Re: BIG BUG with international charakters and Opera browser (7.10)

I will check it out.

Re: BIG BUG with international charakters and Opera browser (7.10)

in russian opera is very popular also

Re: BIG BUG with international charakters and Opera browser (7.10)

Heh, why? Isn't Opera commercial software?

Re: BIG BUG with international charakters and Opera browser (7.10)

Isn't GREAT software?

Re: BIG BUG with international charakters and Opera browser (7.10)

Firebird does the same things, is lighter and it's free (both as in speech and beer :) so the choice is easy to me.

Re: BIG BUG with international charakters and Opera browser (7.10)

Yes, Firebird rocks. The only problem I have with it is that it takes a while to start up. I'm spoiled by IE that is practically already in memory and thus starts up extremely quick.

Re: BIG BUG with international charakters and Opera browser (7.10)

Please, no flame Opera/Firebird. I care about storing special (national) characters to DB. Why combination of characters (IE) or completely replace something other (Opera,etc.). Why not one true special (national) character in the DB? One czech character: In my WinXP CZ Alt+0154, in Windows Key Map like a Unicode - U+0161 ... and right character stored in DB: ?. Kennel: You can see in THIS punBB DB-THIS reply- how this character stored...

Re: BIG BUG with international charakters and Opera browser (7.10)

I'm sorry, but I just don't understand that last post.

Re: BIG BUG with international charakters and Opera browser (7.10)

look into the database, and see how the s thingy is stored.

Re: BIG BUG with international charakters and Opera browser (7.10)

It's not an issue concerning the database. I just did some tests and it's definately a problem specific to Opera. It appears Opera does not convert "special characters" to their HTML equivalent like all other browsers do. I don't know how to fix this.

Edit: I just tested this in Invision Board and it doesn't work there either. I don't know where you got that from.

Re: BIG BUG with international charakters and Opera browser (7.10)

maybe a new else/if statement that tells it what to do when opera is used?

Re: BIG BUG with international charakters and Opera browser (7.10)

It's not that easy. Opera just gives me jibberish when I enter special characters into a form. Like you said before. If I use Opera and type the following into a message:

?????ýáíé

It comes out as

?????ýáíé

That is the actual text Opera is sending to the webserver.
