double bytes toggle switch

tako · #1 09-21-2006, 10:07 PM

Since vbseo is not fully functional with 2 bytes characters, I still can not get it work with 2 bytes characters for linkbacks etc. I could modify vb itself to work with 2 bytes code but I can not modify vbseo because it is encrypted.

I request you guys to make a toggle switch to turn vbseo into multi-language mode. It is fairly easy. all you have to do is replace several functions into mb ones.

PHP: Multibyte String Functions - Manual

Once you make this, I could use your great software fully functional on my site!

Hello Tako,

in vBSEO3.0.0RC5 there is a new feature implemented to support multibyte charset (UTF8), you should manually modify your config_vbseo.php for this:

Code:

	define('VBSEO_UTF8_SUPPORT',        1);

thanks, but it is not enough.

When you store linkback info into each variable, you have to do this.

1. At first, you detect if function exists,

PHP Code:

  if (function_exists('mb_convert_encoding'))

2. then, detect what encoding is used from one of the variables,

PHP Code:

  $original_encoding = mb_detect_encoding($original_string, "auto");

3. and apply encoding change to each item like this.

PHP Code:

  $final_string = mb_convert_encoding($original_string, "UTF-8", $original_encoding);

4. repeat 3 for each variable.

I did this for other vb applications and works good. by adding 1, you wont have any effect to existing users.

I am happy to test it once you have this addition to your vbseo. So far this is the only major issue I have with your VBSEO on my Japanese forum.

I hope you guys implement this feature that way I can fully use your features.

Hello,

what is an example linkback that doesn't work correctly for you (you can provide more details via support ticket if you wish)?
