Bogus, I have a problem same to you.

I live in asia, korea.
I'd installed the links v1.1 using both korean and english. but, I can't create categories which have non-english characters.

What should I do?

Well, you can modify it!
visit http://cgi.somo.co.kr
or mail me.
However, I prefer MegaLinks 2.01

To Kim: on the links 1.1 page is a mod for supporting non-enlgish characters. I don't know how it works for links 2b2. but It's a chance.

To newage: what language must i use, that I can read your page. with the utf8 standard i cant read anything.

To both: Are you interested to hélp me?

Simpley remove the subs that check catorgies before adding/modifying/building then you can you any letters you want(or any lanunge) I've explained how to do this in some post, but not sure witch one, search for my usernames, jbost(may not work, when the forum whent down it delted me)or Joey Bost It will work for any version of Links, but MAKE SURE you dont use any of the system cariters in your catorgies, as it won't care what you name them
Thanks
Joey

 
Are you sure? One of the problems with foreign characters it that the category name = directory name = url. And you will have problems naming a directory using 2 byte encoding or something similiar..

Cheers,

Alex

Alex, that's why I said "but MAKE SURE you dont use any of the system cariters in your catorgies, as it won't care what you name them" I'm only speak English and not very falimer with other laugaes,
Thanks
Joey

To all replyers: I don't wanna use characters only! I wanna create a version of links, which displays all the text on the pages in different languages.

What did you mean about theese idea?

I don't know this is perfect, but I'm using it.

<1> Open db.pl file, and make these source-code to commentary with '#'.

if ($record{'Date'}) {
eval { &date_to_unix($record{'Date'}); };
if ($@) { push (@input_err, "Bad Date Format:

...

(Invalid)"); # but has failed validation so add
} # it as an error.
}
}
}

<2> Open nph-build.cgi file, and make it like this.

sub build_check_dir {
# Checks the directory before we create it to make sure there
# are no funncy characters in it.

my ($input) = $_[0];

# if (!($input =~ m,^[\w\d/_\Q$build_allow_char\E]+$,)) {
# &cgierr ("invalid directory name: $input. Reason: contains illegal characters.");
# }
if (!($input =~ m/^\Q$build_root_path\E/)) {
&cgierr ("invalid directory name: $input. Reason: does not start with defined root.");
}

return $input;
}

I don't know this is perfect, but I'm using it.

<1> Open db.pl file, and make these source-code to commentary with '#'.

if ($record{'Date'}) {
eval { &date_to_unix($record{'Date'}); };
if ($@) { push (@input_err, "Bad Date Format:

...

} # it as an error.
}
}
}

<2> Open nph-build.cgi file, and make it like this.

sub build_check_dir {
# Checks the directory before we create it to make sure there
# are no funncy characters in it.

my ($input) = $_[0];

}

return $input;
}

Fisrt, Open db.pl file, and make these source-code to commentary with '#'.

if ($record{'Date'}) {
eval { &date_to_unix($record{'Date'});
};
if ($@) { push (@input_err, "Bad Date Format:

...

(Invalid)"); # but has failed validation so add
} # it as an error.
}
}
}

Second, Open nph-build.cgi file, and make it like this.

sub build_check_dir {
# Checks the directory before we create it to make sure there are no funncy characters on it.

my ($input) = $_[0];

# if (!($input =~ m,^[\w\d/_\Q$build_allow_char\E]+$,)) {
# &cgierr ("invalid directory name: $input. Reason: contains illegal characters.");
# }

if (!($input =~ m/^\Q$build_root_path\E/)) {
&cgierr ("invalid directory name: $input. Reason: does not start with defined root.");
}

return $input;
}
