special - like our native slovenian characters
? and š
especially
(? stands for c with ? )
edit;
now i noticed ... when i change global locale settings to sl_SI (for slovenia)
char ž produces the same error
(all 3 have problem cšž)

the error ocurrs only when i change language to slovenian (in css is defined windows-1250)
and it reads:

An error has occurred:
(This text is only displayed to users in the group 'Root'Wink

2 - preg_replace() [function.preg-replace]: Compilation failed: invalid UTF-8 string at offset 11 @ /snip/httpdocs/lib-common.php line 5889

Text Formatted Code
array(7) {
  ["text"]=>
  string(24) "Geeklog Project Homepage"
  ["query"]=>
  string(1) "?"
  ["class"]=>
  string(1) "b"
  ["mywords"]=>
  array(1) {
    [0]=>
    string(1) "?"
  }
  ["searchword"]=>
  string(1) "?"
  ["before"]=>
  string(11) "/(?<!\p{L})"
  ["after"]=>
  string(11) "(?!\p{L})/u"
}


why is there a
Text Formatted Code
$_CONF['default_charset'] = 'iso-8859-1';

in siteconfig.php
?
do i need to change that?

I would report it as a bug in the Geeklog Bug Tracker http://project.geeklog.net/. Geeklog 1.8.0 should be released in April.

since i could not get a fix for that error
i comented out allmost all of the function that makes me trouble

so now it reads
Text Formatted Code
function COM_highlightQuery( $text, $query, $class = 'highlight' )
{
/*     
    // escape PCRE special characters
    $query = preg_quote($query, '/');

    $mywords = explode(' ', $query);
    foreach ($mywords as $searchword)
    {
        if (!empty($searchword))
        {
            $before = "/(?!(?:[^<]+>|[^>]+<\/a>))\b";
            $after = "\b/i";
            if ($searchword <> utf8_encode($searchword)) {
                 if (@preg_match('/^\pL$/u', urldecode('%C3%B1'))) { // Unicode property support
                      $before = "/(?<!\p{L})";
                      $after = "(?!\p{L})/u";
                 } else {
                      $before = "/";
                      $after = "/u";
                 }
            }
            $text = preg_replace($before . $searchword . $after, "<span class=\"$class\">\\0</span>", '<!-- x -->' . $text . '<!-- x -->' );
        }
    }
*/
    return $text;
}

so now it just recives text and sends it back
Razz
i hope

if someone understands where the problem is - i will be glad

i have few requests for upgrades - but i do not dare

anyone sees any problem with what i comented out?
will it give me trouble elsewhere?

Commenting out that code shouldn't give you any problems, it just will not return the requested search query highlighed in the text.

Sorry we couldn't look into the issue sooner. Someone should before 1.8.0 is released.

Yes, you need to change that. You can do that by wiping out your geeklog installation and then when reinstalling, at step 2 tick the checkbox near "Use UTF-8". I just tested this and it fixed the problem Smile

Haven't traced the actual problem though, but only the non-UTF language files are affected...

this geeklog was reinstalled once before
i think that was enough ...


the q was - why is there (in siteconfig) this line
i dont remember putting it there
furthermore
i would never set such a charset ...

i removed it and it did not help ...


use utf8 is for multilanguage sites
afaik

i could use that, but i prefer smaller charsets for one-language sites (in my head thats still faster)
furthermore - this is not solution for sites that use something else but utf8
and thats majority of my sites

Well, if you don't want to reinstall, I think that you are stuck with ISO-8859-1. We don't have charset migration for the database, yet...

Meanwhile try the below code, it works just fine for me for both UTF-8 and ISO-8859-1 Big Grin

* @return   string          the text with highlighted search words

*/
function COM_highlightQuery($text, $query, $class = 'highlight')
{
    if (!empty($text) && !empty($query)) {
        $flag = false;
        if (!mb_check_encoding($text, 'UTF-8')) { // convert strings to UTF if needed
            $text  = utf8_encode($text);
            $query = utf8_encode($query);
            $flag  = true;
        }
        // escape PCRE special characters
        $query = preg_quote($query, '/');

        $mywords = explode(' ', $query);
        foreach ($mywords as $searchword) {

                 }
                $text = preg_replace($before . $searchword . $after,

Maybe this can help: Converting a Geeklog site to UTF-8.

@gape: The code that you posted is not an exact copy of the code that I posted. Maybe that could be a problem...
I checked again, it still works for me. Anyway, that's probably not the best solution because it would replace stuff inside links...

Did you know that you can comment out just a part of that function, like below, so that it will only highlight ASCII search words? Maybe it could be the best temporary solution, while we fix it properly in a later release...

I just meant that some quotes are unescaped in your copy, that would cause a syntax error, look near the line:
"<span class=\"$class\">\\0</span>",
Just a bad copy/paste perhaps...
