wwf 7.50 can put each user's uploads into seperate directories named after their own usernames ,but here i found one "error": if the username is not only in English ,such as Chinese,the file(take image for example) cannt be displayed in the post. The file is already uploaded,but just cannt be displayed if the path contain other character sets such as Chinese. How to fix it?

You may need to edit the file functions_upload.asp to remove the making of folders.

The forum uses the following function in the file functions_filters.asp to strip any non URL allowed charcaters:-
'******************************************
'*** Non-Alphanumeric Character Strip ****
'******************************************
'Function to strip non alphanumeric characters
Private Function characterStrip(strTextInput)
'Dimension variable
Dim intLoopCounter 'Holds the loop counter
'Loop through the ASCII characters
For intLoopCounter = 0 to 47
strTextInput = Replace(strTextInput, CHR(intLoopCounter), "", 1, -1, 0)
Next
'Loop through the ASCII characters numeric characters to lower-case characters
For intLoopCounter = 91 to 96
strTextInput = Replace(strTextInput, CHR(intLoopCounter), "", 1, -1, 0)
Next
'Loop through the extended ASCII characters
For intLoopCounter = 58 to 64
strTextInput = Replace(strTextInput, CHR(intLoopCounter), "", 1, -1, 0)
Next
'Loop through the extended ASCII characters
For intLoopCounter = 123 to 255
strTextInput = Replace(strTextInput, CHR(intLoopCounter), "", 1, -1, 0)
Next
'Return the string
characterStrip = strTextInput
End Function |
I've marked the a number in red that could be increased to also strip
Chineese charcaters as I don't know which part of the ASCII set they
fall into as I was lead to believe that ACSCII only went to 255. If you
can finout and let me know I will make the changes in teh code.

thanks, boRg. Do you know the exact reason of this "error"? I wondered if I can replace the username with userid or usercode etc. I don't want to put images from all users simply in one folder.... btw,is that error really caused by the forum code? I paste the image URL to the address bar, and it failed to open the image ,too.But the image is there indeed...

You could use the user ID.
A URL link to a file, web page, iamge, etc. can only contain western
characters to be valid. So the function I pasted above tries to remove
any non-western characters but as I have no chinese cahracters to test
with it's very difficult to write code that will also stip these types
of characters, I imagine languages like russian maybe the same.

Just one quick test, if you increase the number in the function I
pasted into the other post to say 2000 does it strip chinese characters
from the user name folders?

I have modified the number and changed it to 2000,but the problem still exists. Anyhow, there only can be 255 ASCII characters, in fact,one Chinese character was treated as a combination of two extend ASCII characters in Computer...
I noticed that despite I didn't change anything, the image can be displayed on my own machine(windows server 2003 simplified Chinese version with IIS 6.0);but everything goes bad when it was running on my site ISP's server.
So I consulted my ISP and they replied that the sever doesn't support the directory that contain Chinese characters very well... so I think this prob is "solved", I have to change username to userid or something else...
thanx,boRg

I also installed support for Chinese on my machine and found that once
I had done that directories with Chinese characters worked sucessfully
in my browser.
