Please explain how you got the umlaut to misbehave. I have not had a problem here: https://www.vaultwiki.org/xf/wiki/Al...%C3%ABb%C3%A4a

This is very interesting, i tried to edit the area text and this area is "not found" i can´t save.
At the admin cp i renamed it and changed back to old name. Now it is working again.
Maybe a damaged file. Could be closed, thank you

If you go to AdminCP > Wiki > Maintenance > Rebuild Counters / Caches > Rebuild Page URLs, does the problem come back?
Have you ever performed an edit rollback on the affected area?

I do not see any changes since you joined here that would have caused this issue to be fixed. The last time a similar issue was fixed was about 14 months ago. If the area was created over 14 months ago, it might explain this. Or if your wiki was imported from VW3+vBulletin into VW 4.0.8 on XenForo about 2 months ago.

Unless there is another bug going on and you can reproduce the problem, perhaps it was user error, where the user actually typed 'ä'
But it seems fishy that it appeared correctly on one screenshot and not the other.

I see this as solved, if it may plop up again, i will report it (if i know how that occurred)

Thank you

Please explain how to reproduce the issue. All the umlauts are working on the demo board, and I have not managed to break them at all: https://www.vaultwiki.org/xf/wiki/Al...%C3%ABb%C3%A4a

EDIT: I was able to break umlauts per this issue at the time the area is created. After editing the area again to fix its title, the title is successfully fixed. It appears to only affect the way the title looks when viewing the area page. While the umlauts are "broken" in this way, the URL still work and looks correct. I can successfully post edits to the broken title. Any links to the area from other pages show the correct (not-broken) title, and the links go to the area as expected.

Fixed in the next release. In vault/core/controller/dm/area/vw.php, find:

Code:

foreach ($this->instance->get() AS $field => $value) { if (!$this->pagedm->_isset($field)) { $this->pagedm->set($field, $value); } }

Replace with:

Code:

foreach ($this->instance->get() AS $field => $value) { if ($field == 'pageid' OR $field == 'title') { continue; } if (!$this->pagedm->_isset($field)) { $this->pagedm->set($field, $value); } }

Areas created after this change will show the umlauts correctly when viewing the area page.

@Alfa1, I am not sure if this will resolve your issue, because it is not clear to me that you are experiencing the same bug. Please see my previous post discussing what this bug does and how to reproduce the behavior.
