Im having trouble to get 'funky' characters to work with newform posts.
I have read the posts on the subject, and Im not sure if I run into a bug... class Guide(models.Model): about = models.CharField(maxlength=1500) class EditForm(forms.Form): about = forms.CharField(widget=forms.Textarea(attrs={'rows':'15', 'cols':'40'}),max_length=1500, required=False) In my view: if edit_form.is_valid(): clean_data = edit_form.clean_data guide.about = clean_data['about'] guide.save() When posting 'A word about ÅÄÖ' mysql gives: Warning: Data truncated for column 'about' at row 1 return self.cursor.execute(sql, params) and stores everything up to the funky chars. If I change to "raw" input (guide.about = request.POST['about'] ) it actually get stored in db but guide.save() throws UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xc3 in position 90: ordinal not in range(128) Please, any help would be valuable Regards Sten --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
