Question Re: K 1.5.12: Search error: call to undefined function mb_substr() in class.kunena.php on line 1309

When I Search for anything, if there is no result then the page displays fine, but if it finds a result, it just breaks.


can you please guide me how can i fix this problem.

Many Thanks,
Usman Ghani

G'day, apnausman, and welcome to Kunena.

Thank you for your request but I wonder if you could provide a little more information, please - use K 1.5.x Support: Please read this first as a guide:

What version, specifically, of Kunena are you using?
What version, specifically, of Joomla are you using?
What template of Kunena are you using?

Thank you

Hi,
thanks for quick response.

here are some of the details:
Kunena Version: 1.5.x
Joomla Version: 1.5.18
and using the default template.

I kept trying to figure out what's problem with it. and run it on my local machine, it worked fine, the same code was downloaded from server where it wasn't working.
So the same code words on local machine but doesn't work over web server. something weird, please assist.

Thanks
Usman

Which specific version of K 1.5 are you using (e.g. K 1.5.11, K 1.5.12), please? When you wrote "default" template do you mean the default template or the default_ex template?

What webserver platform are you running?
What version SQL are you using?
What SQL data collation method is being used with your jos_fb_* tables?

Installed version: Kunena 1.5.12
yes, default_ex

Linux, (CentOS)
MySQL client version: 5.0.77
Collection method: utf8_general_ci
but for one table which is jos_fb_config_bacup, its latin1_swedish_ci


Cheers,

Thanks: when I asked you what webserver platform you were running, I meant something like Apache, Ubuntu, Microsoft IIS or something else and what version number, please?

You probably should be running all jos_fb_* tables with utf8_general_ci collation.

What PHP version are you using?

Sorry for all these questions. I haven't seen this error before ( K 1.5.12 - Known issues ). Does this happen on any kind of search query or just certain ones?
