Hi Claudio Erba ,
RC1 Version is really stable and completely shows new features .
But I have one big problem with language . My native language is
compatible with UTF-8 encoding , in last released versions , there was no
problem with my native language even with english or italian language mode , but
in RC1 version and in its all enviroments my native language characters convert
to "?" question symbol . I hope you resolve this problem for all languages that
are based on Unicode(UTF-8) encoding .

Did you use the upgrader?
Did you install by scatch?
What do you see on http://devel.docebo.com ?
What is your language?

Hi Omid,
     i have change something in order to improve the utf-8 support in docebo (i have encounter some problem with the chinese language in the past).
The released version use the same techniques of the devel.docebo.org installation.
I have done some check after your message such as create a course with the info written in farsi and import the farsi language taken form the devel.docebo.com installation but i haven't encouter your problem.
Wth which function you encounter the problem ? (importing language, inserting content,...)
Can you tell me the collation reported for the table in you database by (for example) phpmyadmin ?

thanks for your collaboration

Regards
Fabio

Hi Fabio
There is no difference , for example when I create a course
, place a note or create a forum or import an scorm package with
Farsi(Persian) content (title) , every Farsi character
converts to "?" symbol .
Also when I import my native language , all characters convert to "?" symbol .


Regards

Hi Fabio,
Did you check my example ?
I`m really concern about this problem . I`m waiting for your help .

I found that last versions were compatible with latin1_swedish_ci collation
but Rc1 version is compatible only with utf8_general_ci collation for my
native language . I hope you change this capability like before versions because
latin1_swedish_ci collation is reliable for database transfer between different
database in various servers . Also now I can`t search my Farsi words in database
via phpMyAdmin because phpMyAdmin show every character with "?" question symbol
in utf8_general_ci collation mode .
Please make this property like 3.0.6 version .
Also I have some censures because I`ve told these points here before :
3.5 beta BUG
1- Free Subscription in fact doesn`t work , because automatically change to
User enrollment has to be approved by an Admin option and user should wait for
approval action after buying course .

2- Still scorm page title have problem with UTF-8 and shows characters in unknown
format :


and these bugs are new ones :
1- In IE7 when mouse goes on dropdown menus , submenu appears back of Compelete
user profile area .
2- In Course catalog when I click on Show demo item , popup window just shows
image name , and doesn`t show image .

I hope you have a quick review on my problems before full version release .
Thanks

Another hint !
Why during installation when I select only Docebo Learning Management System
, after installation Web Portal menu appears in Admin area and CMS options
are accessible ?

hi, i found two things, but i'm not sure is new to this version or not.
1. i tried to upload a scorm zipped file and part of the file name was "un'orazione" ... at the end of the upload i receive the message _ERRORDB. i changed the un'orazione in una orazione, removing the ' and the upload worked fine ... seems that when the filename is not correctly escaped when inserted in the learning_scorm_package table, giving the error.
2. when i start the scorm file, if i play it with firefox 2.* all works fine, if i try to play it with internet explorer 7, i have to allow popups because every time change slide it shows a popup "connecting server" with inside i think the a wrong link to an image for just 1 or 2 seconds.

hi, i found some problems enabling the crm section: i can use the voice in the crm menu in the admin area, but if i go the crm section, i have to repeat the login, and after if i try to select the voices in the menu i have a white empty page

best regards,
  luca morelli

Crm is not included in the version. This flag will be disabled in final version

Hi Omid, the 3.5rc1 use the forcing of the collation also for the db connection in order to mantain readable the data in the database (id is encoded in ut8-general), this is the common solution for the utf problem while changing database collation (you can find some post also on the mysql forum and comment about this).
The problem with the latin1 is that if you save chinese (for example) in it some word will become unreadable ...
So the better solution is mantain all the database data and connection in utf-8 that is more simple to manage and portable.

The popup will be removed in the final release, it's not really needed with the new scorm player logic

Hi Fabio

If it`s possible please guide me to use LMS database options with past mode (latin1) .

Also please guide me to correct my problem with scorm page title .

Hi omid
Imho the better solution that you can practise is mantain that dabase in full utf8_general_ci, devel.docebo.org is configured in this way, but if you want to mantain the previious collation you can do this, searh in docebo all the mysql_connect, after each one you can read these two line of code

@mysql_query("SET NAMES 'utf8'", $GLOBALS['dbConn']);
@mysql_query("SET CHARACTER SET 'utf8'", $GLOBALS['dbConn']);

these queries force the collation of the db connection to utf8, simply change the utf8 in latin1, or remove this two line, i think that this should work (is the only change on the database collatcion from beta to RC)

for the next release (RC3) i think that i will use a config parameter tht let you "force back" the collation , in this way the upadte process will become easy and simple (otherwise for every version you need to modified this two line and i think that this isn't a good idea)

remember to work on the RC2, there is some boring bug on the RC1 about the tracking.

Fabio
