(SOLVED+FIX) Realnames character encoding bug

by removing the "rawurlencode" in uddeim.php, at least the autocomplete function works ok!

This will be changed in uddeIM 1.2, so the autocompleter should also have full utf-8 support.

The other problems seems to be browser related. Are you sure that your site template delivers the correct language setting?

Some browser did not use these settings and use a quirks mode to display the site (e.g. when they find utf-8 characters and latin-1 is chosen by the template) so this might explain why on your browser everything is ok. Maybe the guys which see the wrong encoding use a browser (or setting) which strictly displays the chosen set.

When I am at someone's profile and try to send a message to him/her from Messages/Send Private Message, the name in the field "To:" is looking like this: "��боми� �и�илов"
When I choose the name from the drop down box everything is just fine!

Strange. Does this only happen when calling from the profile?

Could you use this link
www.yoursite.de/component/option,com_uddeim/task,new/recip,XXX/
replace XXX with an userid that exists.
Is the name displayed correctly?
(maybe you have to change the link according to your SEF settings)

Yes, this is happening only when I'm calling from the someone's profile.

I'm using the following link:
mysite.net/component/uddeim/?task=new&recip=64
and it's not working!

Perhaps this is similar to the link you wrote me to try!?!? If it's not... I could use some extra help
Sorry, but I'm not familiar with these SEF links

Ok, send me an account for your site please.
Frontend only should be ok for now, so I can check what happens.

Strange. To explain what happens:

When you call uudeIM like this
domain.net/component/uddeim/?task=new&recip=63
uddeIM requests the username from the database which is done in uudeim.php in uddeIMnewMessage(). After that $recipname contains the username (maybe utf-8 encoded).

This value is used in drawWriteform() in includes.php when the form is displayed:
[code:1]echo "<input type='text' ".$errorstyle."name='to_name' id='input_to_name' value='".htmlentities($recipname, ENT_QUOTES)."' /> ";
[/code:1]

Mybe htmlentities() is not utf-8 compatible. Could you try following please:

1. Add a third parameter, so it is
htmlentities($recipname, ENT_QUOTES, $config->charset)
This should be the best solution if it works!

2. Remove both htmlentities used in this function
This is a quick'n'dirty fix which should be used only when (1.) does not work.

I have tryed both solutions, but still I get the same strange names.

[code:1]echo "<input type='text' ".$errorstyle."name='to_name' id='input_to_name' value='"$recipname, ENT_QUOTES, $config->charset"' /> ";[/code:1]
