btw. I used google translator to translate this so sorry for mistakes

Bugs should go in the
bug tracker, not in the MOD writers discussion.
With regards to this issue, there have been multiple topics about this. See also this response of a def

Btw, the correct url of the wiki article is
http://i18n.ro/Rom%5Eana_pe_dispozitive_mobile
you get that, when you press the Pagină-link (first tab) on that page.
There are several tickets about utf8 in domains/urls and I think current status was not in 3.0 but maybe in 3.1 or later.

That should definitely be reconsidered now that unicode is now accepted for use in domain names.

This was a pretty recent statement

. If there are tickets about this issue I'm sure that it will be reconsidered at some point.

The changes were made official in October of 2009; it's the implementation that is recent.

There has been no major release in that year, so thats not really weird at all

. And besides that, this forum is not ment for bugs, the bugtracker is there for a reason

.

To be specific: Olympus supports punycode but not special chars within domains.

3.0.x will never support it.

Not in the near future. We may of course think about backporting it from the 3.2.x line once it is done there.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Only thing you can do is an alternative url-bbcode, which allows special-chars in urls
Demo:
http://www.4seven.de/forum/1/viewtopic. ... p=482#p482
BBCode
Code: Select all
Removed insecure BBcode. The warning is there for a reason.
If you want this, ignore the {TEXT} Security Warning. At least it's your choice..
Source: removed

For those who haven't found out yet: extending
this RegEx also allows IDN URLs everywhere.

NEVER use the
{TEXT}
token inside HTML tags!

Because of that i wrote: "It's your choice". As 'proof of concept' only, that it's possible.

We (for obvious reasons) do not allow the postal of snippets/MODs/BBCodes/etc that potentially compromise the phpBB security model. Using a {TEXT}
token in a HTML tag is exactly that and therefore can't be posted on this board.
