I have Tag2.0 installed and working fine on my site. Now I have two more questions.

1) If I enter a tag with a foreign character, when I click on that tag, no entry is coming up.
even if I remove the foreign character in the link.

2) Say I change Tag preferences and change tag separator info to comma or space, that info is not populated and changed on CP/Publish or the SAEF field.
and on CP/Publish, it still reading “Use this field to freely enter tags for your entry. Separate each tag with a line break”

Thanks for those bug reports. The foreign characters thing is a known issue that we’re working on. And the parsing issue is something that we’ll look into in the next release.

Can we expect the foreign characters issue to be fixed on the next release (tag2.0) ?

I thought you were working with Tag 2.0? Seriously: I expect them to be fixed soon, and I have a personal interest in this matter, too.

Hello Mitchell,
As french language user, It’s very difficult to work without “foreign” characters. When could we use accentuated characters in the tags ?

On an other hand, if a user type as tag a word with accentuated char, then try to edit the tag (replace the accentuated char by non accentuated char : montmédy -> montmedy), we get problems : tag “montmedy” is in the system but not displayed in the tag list/screen in the CP or in the cloud.

I could give you access on the CP of this site, if you want.

jpol,

That would be helpful. I’d like to have a look at this in action on your site. Before that though, are you running Tag 2.0.9?

Thanks,

I run tne Tag 2.0.9.

I just email you the login info.

Mitchell, have you some answer ?
Did you get my login info ?

Is there some progress on this issue?

I am considering Tag 2.0.9 for my Swedish web site, and I need support for Swedish characters (å ä ö). Am I interpreting this thread correctly, this will not work? If not, any timetable?

People experiencing this issue use Convert High ASCII Characters to Entities in their EE settings. This normally resolves the problem.

I turned on Convert High ASCII Characters to Entities in their EE settings on my site but couldnt get to accept french accent, so case still unresolved.
Please could you suggest work around?

Other than that workaround, all I can tell you is that this is a currently known issue we’re working on to correct.

I apologize for the inconvenience.

Hello,

One year ago (08/04/2007) :

>>>The foreign characters thing is a known issue that we’re working on<<<

When plan you to allow foreign characters ?

jpol,

This is no excuse, but we’ve been swamped with Web Development work and other module development.

Freeform being free software, and everything else considered, to be completely honest, this is currently a low priority.
I have no idea when we will finally get around to this, but I suspect it wont be soon.

I apologize for the inconvenience.

Hey guys,

We’ve added tentative support for foreign characters now with the new version of Tag 2.5
See if that helps
