Forum error

New Member Joined: Feb 16, 2009 Posts: 22

This system doesn't like me. I did a whole new installation. Database latin1_swedish_ci
I didn't touch the files. Not for language files either. I turned on the Hungarian language everywhere. Both in the administration menu for profile editing and in the forum administration. After that, as a user, I can't create new topics. The page will load I fill in the topic and text box and then click submit. He throws it back to creation without an error message. What should I do to make the forum work properly in Hungarian?
Thank you in advance for your help.

I was able to figure out that the module / Forum / language / lang_hungarian / lang-main.php has something to do with the error. If I replace this file with the English lang_main.php file, this error will not occur. In this case, however, the characters ŰŐ etc do not appear in the topic box.

Let us start from scratch with some infos about your used php-version and your used database-application. Do you use mysql or maria-db?

Hello! mysql and php 7.3

I have to test it at the next weekend with hungarian-language files. But I'm using for my german umlauts the database collation: utf8_general_ci but do not change in this case the Content-Type within the _CHARSET constant in the hungarian language-file. The _CHARSET constant should be:

php Code:

define('_CHARSET','ISO-8859-1');

Otherwise you will risk a database collation mismatch which could cause your described issues.

Do I understand correctly? Set database matching to utf-8?

Yes but only the database collation, not the Content-Type!

Unfortunately, it didn't work out. Database matching was set by utf8_general_ci. The Hungarian language file is ISO-8859-1.
Still, the same problems as before.

Unfortunately, my service provider once switched to a database application. You forgot to notify me. Now I noticed that it is no longer mysql but MariaDB. Could this be the cause of the error?

There is a known issue with MariaDB.
