Congratulations to all for creating and supporting the best photo gallery script around :D
I have a problem with comments on my photo gallery. I have the bad word filtering off, so I can post comments in English without any problems.
When I try to post a comment in my language though (Greek), some words are automatically replaced by dots (as if they are filtered out maybe?). Is this a problem that I can correct or is it normal?
I know that the bad word filtering works only in English for now, but I have it turned off, so???
Thanks in advance for any help
I doubt that this is a filtering issue; my guess is it's more browser-related. Could you give a a deep link to a page with some comments turning out as not expected? Please post as well what's supposed to be in the comment line, and if you have phpMyAdmin, look up the comment entry there and check what's in the db...

Here is the link to a comment that should appear normally. Of course, because it's in Greek, I don't think I can write down the word that is missing (i put it twice in the comment), right?
Anyway, I tried to REDUCE the letters of some words, and this might sound a little crazy: once i reduce any word down to 6 letters, it appears normally. If I write any word (always in Greek) with more than 6 letters, the system comes out with (...)
weird!!??? :?:
try increasing the value of "Max number of characters in a word" in coppermine config.

It's already 38 by default (if I recall). Besides I don't have any problems when writing in english.
I increased the value anyway and now I can write words with 10 letters maximum!!! :lol: this is weird!! with the value set to 80!!
Anyway, I set it to 200 and I'm done. :D I don't know why this happens, maybe it has to do with the encoding, maybe the system "sees" different encodings' words with more characters than they actually have in their language, I don't know.
Thanks for the help GauGau :)
I guess it's really a matter of encoding - you'll have up to 4 bytes for one greek character afaik.

Daki, δεν βλέπω καθόλου σχόλιο στην φωτό που έβαλες... Επίσης δεν βλέπω καν το προγραμμα να μπορεί να γυρίσει σε Ελληνικά...
Τα διέγραψες? Ισως μπορώ να σε βοηθήσω...
edit: just seen this: http://coppermine.sourceforge.net/faq.php?q=nonEnglishPosting#nonEnglishPosting
(sorry for the greek! )
Hello Lykourge (καλά το θυμάμαι το όνομα?) :D
The problem described in this faq is not the problem I'm having.
The problem was I couldn't post comments under the photos in Greek. I think I fixed it, you're more than welcome to try posting a comment and we'll see for real :D
No, that comment from the faq was about my Greek... :oops:
I have just posted in Greek... It seems OK.
But as I told you, you don't have an option for Greek language in your cpg installation...
(cpg should turn to Greek when I type http://members.lycos.co.uk/dakis21/index.php?lang=gr ).
