Bug Issues on Ajax , uploading & editing for Arabic language + a few suggestions

[Mohammed Al Hosni]

Dear,

I have noticed that your product not supporting Arabic language
we can't search in Ajax for any Arabic word only English words!

Also when we are editing and file if the language in Arabic it will come in bad characters and not clear like this below:
( ط§ظ„طھط´ط±ظٹط¹ط§طھ ظˆط§ظ„ظ‚ظˆط§ظ†ظٹظ† ط§ظ„ظ…طھط¹ظ„ظ‚ط© ط¨ط§ظ„ط§ظ†طھط±ظ†طھ ظپظٹ ط§ظ„ط¯ظˆ )

please solve this issues and also I want to remind you a few suggestions

Category Display Order

In the manage category section. we need a "Display Order". Since i have many categories i need to be able to put them according to a certain order (based on importance).

also something that i just notice. its best if in the Category manager you get Main Categories then their children below them. just like in "Forum Manager" where everything goes in a organized and tied form. I love it if it looked like that. also the drop down menu should be affected

also:

Number of files in a Category

This is something that i think is necessary, i want thinking if you could add a number of files in a category, so people would know how many files is in there. and maybe, an option to see the latest upload to that category.

this is what I mean, in the Main page, it should only show a total number like (25) under the description above the "sub-categories". but when you go into "subcategories" there is a place where there is "category name" and "category description". now 2 more things should be added there. "number of files in this category" and "lastest file uploaded". practically i mean 2 more columns.

Thanks alot. i really hope this gets considered cause i think is a very important issue. not essential, but important. to keep things more organized and under control.

Can you open a separate thread for the feature requests? Otherwise once the bugs are fixed this thread will not be looked at anymore. We track bugs and feature requests different ways.
I'm working on the ajax search results. I can replicate it here. I can't replicate the problem with editing a download.
I created and modified a download with some of those characters in the title and description and it worked. Can you give me the steps to reproduce the problem?

Dear Dylan

Thank you for your replay
I don't have any problems in the title & description when I create or editing

the problem only with file which I'm uploading if it's in Arabic language like ( بتعديل بعض أحكام قانون البعثات والمنح والإعانات الدراسية ) it will come after uploading like this characters ( ظ‚ط§ظ†ظˆظ† ط§ظ„ط¨ط¹ط«ط§طھ ظˆط§ظ„ظ…ظ†ط* ط§ظ„ط¯ط±ط§ط³ظٹط© + ط§ظ„ظ„ط§ط¦ط*ط© ط§ظ„طھظ†ظپظٹط°ظٹط© )

before I have upgraded to 1.3.1 the problem only come when I'm editing the files, now it come in both uploading and editing !

thanks a lot and I hope it's clear for you what I'm facing

Sorry it's taken me a few, still trying to get around David's code.
I found the problem with the adding/editing files.
Part of the problem is the flash uploader doesn't support the Arabic language too well. If you disable the flash uploader in the ACP download settings and then modify the dbtech/downloads/actions/download.php
Find

while ($file = $db->fetch_array($files)) {

and after add

$file['filename'] = unhtmlspecialchars($file['filename']);

so it looks like

    while ($file = $db->fetch_array($files)) {
        $file['filename'] = unhtmlspecialchars($file['filename']);
        $catid = $file['categoryid'];
        foreach ((array)$cats[$catid] AS $key => $cat) {

Then it will work. Unfortunately, the flash uploader is not code that we control or have the source to so I cannot modify that directly.

I'm still working on the ajax search problem.

Then I found an other problem after re upload the original file dbtech/downloads/actions/download.php & I'm getting this error !!
Fatal error: Call to undefined method Downloads::convert_wysiwyg_html_to_bbcode() in /home/XXXX/public_html/vb/dbtech/downloads/actions/download.php on line 176

and I can't open any files !

Could I get an account that has access to the downloads area? And since I can't read the forum, a link to the downloads area would be nice as well heh.
I can't replicate this on my dev environment.
