Ajax Search Language Problem

Hi Coroico,

Thanks for the great support!! I have downloaded the file, and replaced my old file, but when I try to search, there is still error message "php_mbstring extension required". Perhaps I have missed something? please advise. http://jaguartech.com.tw

Thanks again, I love this forum!

I think you get this message because:

In your previous message you get the following message error :

Fatal error: Call to undefined function mb_convert_encoding() in ..\modx\assets\snippets\AjaxSearch\AjaxSearch.php on line 67

because you try to use a mbstring function:

Could you check that your $database_connection_charset variable in the file /manager/includes/config.inc.php is initialized with "utf8". You should find a line :

Be carefull the true connection charset is ’utf8’ not ’UTF-8’. Mysql base use ’utf8’ and html pages ’UTF-8’ >:(

If this variable is not well initialized; Do it and reload your page in your browser

If yes, do an another test : open the AjaxSearch.php file and change the line 66 by :

I think it’s not necessary but i would like to be sure that your message come from the test of the line 65

Let me know the results

Coroico, yes, I checked my config.inc.php and changed from ’UTF-8’ to ’UTF8’, and then reloaded the page, then I found the Chinese characters in the navigation tabs turned into unreadable codes, I then tried to do a search, and still no luck...

Maybe I should buy a better server, as ’GoDaddy economic hosting’ doesn’t seem to work well for me.

Thanks for your kind support!!

Hi Cmku,

I look at your web site http://jaguartech.com.tw and i see that when i try to search any term (like ssssssss) I get the message : "AjaxSearch: php_mbstring extension required".

So you get the modified message that it confirms that the test
is true
if your php mbstring extension is not loaded, I deduce that $database_connection_charset is still different of ’utf8’

Be careful, the $database_connection_charset shoud be ’utf8’ in lower case, not ’UTF-8’ nor ’UTF8’

re: http://yhact.com/cms/
In FF, everything looks OK, apart from hover texts in chinese and part of the html-title. Search also works, incl. highlighting (engl. + chinese)
In Safari/Win, I see no chinese characters at all, just squares and gibberish. But OK, it’s still officially in beta anyway...
IE7 behaves pretty much the same as FF.

ganeshXL, yhact.com/cms is working fine, with Coroico’s help , as it is not hosted with the economy GoDaddy account. The problem site is at jaguartech.com.tw, now I have used flexSearch for the moment, until I shift it to a better server. Thanks for checking, cheers!

I’m trying to get ajaxSearch to display swedish characters åäö, the rest of my site displays åäö just fine but the search results displays in a bit different unreadeble characters depending on the combination of charsets I use.

My MODx version is 0.9.6.1p2 and ajaxSearch is 1.7.
MySQL server is set to UTF-8 Unicode (utf8) and collation and charsets in databases set to latin1_swedish_ci
My MODx are $database_connection_charset = ’latin1’;

Search results look like this:
Ã…rstider (should be Årstider)

Förhoppning (should be Förhoppning)

Jämtländsk (should be Jämtländsk)

Where should I change which charset to get the same result as in my documents?
