Question Issue with Georgian Unicode letter "რ" ("R").

hi
have installed and running Kunena. anything is fine as far, EXCEPT one thing - i'm from Georgia (the country, not US state) and need to use georgian alphabet = unicode, nothing unusual.

but if somewhere in category names or subjecs i use gerogian letter "r" (that's "რ" written natively as i need), then links are no more working.
all other letters have no issues, have tested.

surely it's impossible to use the forum with this issue. i have tried different Joomla installations (all versions 1.7). Joomla self has no problems with.

any ideas how to solve? or whatever
thanks for help

Hi,
can you insert the kunena report here.

hi 810, thanks for the answer.

i will attach the TXT file including the config file from fresh install of Joomla-1.7.1 + Kunena-1.7 (both just downloaded). server = windows + xampp(not old version)
generally have no other issues with things. yet



so have tested in many ways - by enbling UTF-support in Kunena the problem occurs and vice versa.
just wo UTF the link are less seo friendly... ok, possible to live with this

yes, thats actual ONLY for georgian letter "R" = "რ" (other special signs have not tested yet)
for the refference the whole alphabet(33 letters):
ა ბ გ დ ე ვ ზ თ ი კ ლ მ ნ ო პ ჟ ...> რ <... ს ტ უ ფ ქ ღ ყ შ ჩ ც ძ წ ჭ ხ ჯ ჰ

unfortunately im not developer, can only read/modify the code in some cases, but thats over my skills(

Please try to disable some plugins. There seems to be a plugin issue.

hi 810

I just now gone crazy:
* Win 2k3 (clean, healty)
* XAMPP 1.7.4
* Joomla 1.7.2 (latest) - fresh test-install, nothing changed)
* Kunena 1.7.0_b5135 (latest) - same, added only 'this' f... f... funny "რ"(R) as subject.

AND(!) disabled + uninstalled ANYTHING in joomla, regardless Admin/Site/System/Non-System/components/plugins, JUST COMPLETELY ANYTHING, well except few - just to show up Kunena.
Did it absolutely hardcore, and was funny

result: Kunena behaves in the same way - UTF disabled = OK, UTF enabled = no way.

all this - just to be sure.
there IS something wrong, but im not big developer and have no idea what exactly

on Main-Site i have simply turned off UTF support in Kunena and anything goes fine so far... and i will leave as is - have now much more problems to solve and do not need to fight windmills (i mean myself)

anyway, thanks for attention)
I'll check sometimes if this is solved in future versions of Kunena, then report here.

ok, i found a solution for the moment:

open components\com_kunena\router.php line:101

and add all gerogion letters after:


like:

ok, have tried and it works.
but the effect is (almost) the same as with uft turned off - the letters are replaced with "-".

thats really good to know if site would be multilingual (yes, planned).
now i build strictly georgian site and at this moment this hack has not big effect for me (georgian language).

in any case thanks for good hint, 810

im a little curios what a special char-code (or whatever) is used for this georgian "R" (and only for this), that it's not shown in right way? ok, just a rhetorical question...
