    double bytes toggle switch

    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.

    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.

    Hello,

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