UTF-8 Character Support

    I just installed this plugin, looks great… I was about to translate it into Arabic and provide customized CSS for RTL languages but when testing the frontend I realized any comments/tasks written in Arabic results in all characters outputted as “??????????” after submitting.

    Looks like some kind of encoding problem, can this be fixed?

    Thanks in advance!

    Indeed… Sorry about that, I’ll look into it.

    Indeed, charset ‘utf8’ is missing in our plugin install script.
    I’ll fix that.

    In the meantime, you can convert your current tables with these SQL requests, then update the tasks you created :

    ALTER TABLE wp_tfk_item CONVERT TO CHARACTER SET utf8;
ALTER TABLE wp_tfk_item_comment CONVERT TO CHARACTER SET utf8;
ALTER TABLE wp_tfk_item_file CONVERT TO CHARACTER SET utf8;
ALTER TABLE wp_tfk_log CONVERT TO CHARACTER SET utf8;
ALTER TABLE wp_tfk_project CONVERT TO CHARACTER SET utf8;

    (change prefix “wp_” to suit yours, if needed)

    The SQL fix works. However, if you update the plugin without executing the SQL query manually the problem persists (need to remove and re-install I guess).

    Thanks for the support and the quick fix, I’ll send the Arabic translation your way soon!

    That’s right: you have to either re-install the plugin or alter the tables.

    Waiting for the Arabic translation, thank you in advance!
