[Vtigercrm-developers] Substr function and unicode

[Денис Потапов]

Hi Prasad,



I'm working with Russian language pack and met some problems.

Till now I've noticed 5 bugs with strlen and substr. I'll ready to fix them
using Vtiger track, but i ask you to include the phputf8 library (
http://phputf8.sourceforge.net/ ) into the vtiger core
(vtigerCRM\include\phputf8). It work's fine on many projects (for example
Joomla!), and it doing well with VTiger.

The other thing that by default the GraphUtils.php uses Vera font:
    line 27: DEFINE("FF_FONT1",'Vera');
but it has no Cyrillic support. Probably it's better to change it to Arial.
Will it be right if I add this issue on track.

The last thing I think deals with any localisation. In Smarty Template
'Smarty/templates/ListViewEntries.tpl':
line 135:         {$APP.LBL_NO} {$APP.$MODULE_CREATE}s {$APP.LBL_FOUND} !
line 172:         {$APP.LBL_NO} {$APP.$MODULE_CREATE}s {$APP.LBL_FOUND}
!</span></td>
In both cases the plural form is added in template, that is absolutely
unsuitable for localisation.

For now we solve it by adding all this core (and template) files to language
pack that is totally incorrect. What can be the solution?




Best regards,
Denys Potapov
