[Zope-dev] Non-Latin-1 properties
Hi! Sorry to beat a dead horse: the ZMI doesn't allow using non-Latin-1 properties. * properties are stored using the default-zpublisher-encoding (iso-8859-15); * manage_propertiesForm is input--output'ed using management_page_charset (UTF-8) ... * ... but built using join_unicode, which calls PyUnicode_DecodeLatin1. To see the problem: * with the default default-zpublisher-encoding (Latin-9), - set a property's value to '€' (not in Latin-1) - Save Changes: it will be displayed as '¤' (the corresponding character) - Save Changes again: 'charmap' codec can't encode character u'\xa4' in position 0: character maps to undefined (because '¤' is not in (Latin-9). * with default-zpublisher-encoding set to UTF-8 - set a property's value to '€' - Save Changes: it will be displayed as 'â¬' - Save Changes again: it becomes 'â¬' Note that this has repercussions not only on the ZMI but on other products, such as GenericSetup. Some possible fixes: * do nothing. This will please those wishing to deprecate the ZMI, but not the rest of us :-) * rewrite properties.dtml as a ZPT? * change join_unicode to use either default-zpublisher-encoding or yet another setting (which would default to Latin-1 to stay compatible)? Flames, comments? Thanks!

How about using the utext and ustring properties? Er. Yep, of course you're right. Except that lots of products hardwire their properties types.

And that string and text properties are encoded using default-zpublisher-encoding, which is not Latin-1. So in practice string and text can't much be used for anything but ASCII. yves ___ Zope-Dev maillist - Zope-Dev@zope.org http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope )
