[papamike]

Hi, I'm having big problem resolving this. I got 1 or 2 pages with this:



I tried to rebuild the js language.. nothing changed.

I have other weird bug like this: Notice:

Uninitialized string offset: 5 in [...]\sugarcrm\include\JSON.php on line 348

Can someone help me?

For the ?s on the screen, try setting your browser to a different Character Encoding (under "view" in Firefox. I use Western-ISO 8859-1.

Try your apache configuration and you mysql database encoding.
I always use utf8.

The problem is that the bug occur only in 1 or 2 pages with special characters. Other page with same characters works fine. By the way, I'm already using UTF-8 encoding.

We have the same encoding problem with last character in "last viewed" web-part where record name is clipped. Although codepages everywhere as possible are set to UTF-8. Very wierd.

I've solved my problem. Ufortunatly for topic creater the reasons of my issue and papamike's are different natures. The reason of "�" in the end of clipped phrasies of Last Viewed in my case is that when cutting UTF-8 string for odd count of unicode letters, substring function tries to cut multibyte letter apart, so "�" apeared.
My resolution of issue was to replace the following part of /include/MVC/View/SugarView.php:

 foreach ( $history as $key => $row ) {
$history[$key]['item_summary_short'] = getTrackerSubstring($row['item_summary']);
$history[$key]['image'] = SugarThemeRegistry::current()
->getImage($row['module_name'],'border="0" align="absmiddle" alt="'.$row['item_summary'].'"');
} 
  

for:

 $CrD_LastViewed_Length = 11;
foreach ( $history as $key => $row ) {
$CrD_LastViewed_ShortName = $row['item_summary'];
if (mb_strlen($CrD_LastViewed_ShortName,'UTF-8') > $CrD_LastViewed_Length){
$CrD_LastViewed_ShortName = mb_substr($CrD_LastViewed_ShortName,0,$CrD_LastViewed_Length,'UTF-8'). '...';
}
$history[$key]['item_summary_short'] = $CrD_LastViewed_ShortName;
$history[$key]['image'] = SugarThemeRegistry::current()
->getImage($row['module_name'],'border="0" align="absmiddle" alt="'.$row['item_summary'].'"');
} 
  

You can setup length of Last Viewed elements by variable $CrD_LastViewed_Length.
Nevertheless, I do not sure that it the best solution.
