Hi,

When the Japanese character is in the title of email, it became impossible to post. This problem was not seen in EE v 1.x.

Neither of the following can post.

1. override = ON —-  {entry_title} 赤福 {/entry_title} in email body
2. override = OFF —-  Subject Prefix 赤福 in email subject

In the case of the alphabet, there is no problem.
What’s wrong? Please let me know someone.

Thanks.

sakana,

What version and build of EE are you using?

In your Global Channel Preferences under Automatically Convert High ASCII Text to Entities what do you have set?

Admin > Channel Administration > Global Channel Preferences

Can you share more of your Moblog template and module settings please?

Do you have any third-party add-ons installed?

sakana,

Can you try sending an email from Communicate with that subject line and see if it sends please.
Can you also send me an email with that subject line to john.donovan [at] ellislab.com so I can examine it

Just to confirm you actual issue. It is not finding any emails when you check the Moblog? Or an issue after it has found the email?

I sent.

The alphabet subject mail is found.
If it finds it, the loader.gif continues moving. It does not stop.

John will be online again in a few hours.. I’ll check back with him this evening to see what is going on. I apologize for the delay. We work in shifts.

I understand. Please do not care about delay. 😊

Can you please send a similar mail to ingmar.greil AT ellislab com as well?

I just bumped into this problem as well. I reason seems to be that a valid title and a url_title has to be valid for the entry to be saved in the database.

With Japanese (or any multibyte/non-English alphabet) text, although the title could be saved in the database, the url_title cannot, as it needs alphanumerical characters, which the entry title doesn’t have.

I have an extension that uses the foreign_character_conversion_array hook to solve this problem in the entry form in the control panel (adds alphabetical syllables for Japanese kana in the url_title while the user types Japanese in the title field). The hook doesn’t seem to work in the moblog module, though.

What the moblogging module needs to work for any language is either the foreign_character_conversion_array hook to work, or have an override or preset for the url_title. Can that be done?

By the way, the “Automatically Convert High ASCII Text to Entities” setting was removed in EE2. It wasn’t very useful anymore as data is saved in Unicode in the database now.

Nicolas, that’s a very interesting point you’re making. I will run this by our devs, thanks.
