Case sensitivity for non english names

Sorry, another bug... Or at least what seems like a bug.

Have a look here -
http://www.crackedeggstudios.com/vau...setivitycheck3

If you make article2 and Article2 as wiki links - it works fine.. But if you do it with other language names using UTF8 - case sensitivity check seem to fail.

So if i add an article in russian that begins with capical letter - i must always make sure that in my wiki links i have to use capital letter too which is rather annoying... I guess that a string comparison somwhere is not being UTF8 compliant?..

I might try to have a look into the code myself but I guess it would take my less time for you...

I would be grateful if you can make sure that vaultwiki is fully UTF8 compliant.. it seem to work ok im most cases but not in some other...

Thanks!!

A bit more on this subject... I think I've found the function that behaves badly... Seems that ucfirst() is not UTF8 compliant and it's the one that is widely used in vaultwiki.

I've replaced ucfirst() with mb_convert_case and in a couple of places I've tried it seem to have solved the issue.

Code:

// $page['title'] = ucfirst($page['title']); $page['title'] = mb_convert_case($page['title'], MB_CASE_TITLE, "UTF-8");

But I guess this needs to be completed across all the code to ensure full UTF8 compliance.. This goes for both vaultwiki and all the extensions..

Thanks for providing a solution. This will make it much easier on us as we will only have to find the uses of strtoupper and strtolower. We should have this fix included in 3.0.0 Beta 1.

Oh dear... If I remeber correctly, 3.0.0 is for vb4 only? What about everyone else who is stuck with vb3? Can we have 2.5.8 with full UTF8 support? Please?.

3.0.0 will be backwards compatible with vb3. The main difference will be that the updated style will only be available on sites running vb4.

I see.. Just that I remember asking question about whether I should wait for 3.0.x or go ahead with the development based on 2.5.x and you said that 3.0.x is for vb4.. So I'm already well into my project using 2.5.x.

How much changes would there be to go from 2.5.x to 3.0.x? Everything code, database and templates? I'm doing a *lot* of custom code around it so I wonder if I should stop now and wait for 3.0.x beta to be released?..

Do you have any timescales yet?..

Most of the code will remain the same. The main difference is that it will work with vBulletin 4. The database and templates are only different in that case. After the release of Beta 1 we will start adding new features that have been on the waiting list for over 6 months now. To my recollection, nothing core has changed.

As of today, it looks like we have this fixed for the next build.
