This Issue is still unresolved in 1.9.2! Do you still work on it? I would appreciate a bugfix. Thank you

I am re-assigning this back to moodle.com. Since Ludo did not respond it seems that he may be working on other things. If Ludo is still working on the wiki stuff then it can be re-assigned back to him. I just wanted it to get another look. Peace - Anthony

I am assuming this is an issue in the releases since 1.6 so I am adding those so they show up. Peace - Anthony

Hi Anthony,

I think it doesn't make sense to try to solve this problem in the old wiki system. But we should assigne it to Ludo again. There are two things we should check whith 2.0 wiki system:

  • Does the new wiki system handle special characters correct.
  • What happens if old wiki pages including special character (Umlaute) are updated to the new system. How are this incorrect pages handled? Did we have to prepare existing pages in old system. The problem may be that it looks like an empty prepared new page but that was never planned.

Hi all,

the wiki problem with the German Umlaut ä now exists since 2006. I think that this problem must be searched in the change of coding from ISO-8859-1 (Moodle 1.5.x and lower) to UTF-8 (Moodle 1.6.x and higher)

Every word has this problem if it starts with an upper case and contains an ä on the third or any upper place. If anybody wants to work with the wiki in Moodle then he will get this problem. A lot of people told me that they must have an external wiki added to Moodle to use this external one in their school lessons.

When do we get the wiki 2.0? Are there any plans to push wiki 2.0 into Moodle 1.9.x?

Ralf

Every word with an upper case first character and the German umlaut ä on the third or upper place is marked.

Hi,

the problem should be in the file moodle/mod/wiki/ewiki/ewiki.php

In the lines 97 and 98 you can see the following statements

define("EWIKI_CHARS_L", "a-z_µ¤$\337-\377");
define("EWIKI_CHARS_U", "A-Z0-9\300-\336");

In the original eWiki files from http://sourceforge.net/projects/erfurtwiki/files/ I found a pair of different statements

define("EWIKI_CHARS_L", "a-z_µ¤ß-ÿ$"); # \337-\377
define("EWIKI_CHARS_U", "A-Z0-9À-Þ"); # \300-\336

I don't know want I should do for international characters but when I change the lines in Moodle source to the following then I get correct Links in German language. I wonder that I can't set the äöuß inti the string of lower characters.

define("EWIKI_CHARS_L", "a-z_$");
define("EWIKI_CHARS_U", "A-Z0-9ÄÖÜÃÁÀÂÉÈÊÍÌÎÕÓÒÔÚÙÛ");

Best regards, Ralf

I want to emphasize that the little code work to fix this bug is worth the effect to get it solved. We still have to use 1.9x for a time. The irritation that this error produces to users, expecially younger students and newbie teachers, is able to defend using the wiki in german speaking regions.

How can I test this problem in Wiki 2.0?

I found that Moodle 2.0 also comes with the old Wiki 1.0 and the old bugs. Please tell me how I can install the newer wiki so I can see the new features and control the old mistakes.
