foreign characters in categories
I set links.pm to allow foreign characters. The instructions are to also change the setting for $FOREIGN_CHAR to 1 in DBSQL.pm but I cannot find it in the file. Is it still required? (Beta 3)

Thanks in advance

It looks like that has been changed. In earlier versions there was a constant set at the top of the file.

Alex has probably integrated it more fully, since I don't see any of that in the current files, and only one reference in the utils.

If your system seems to work, it seems that that message should be removed now, and the Links.pm file is the only place it needs to be changed.

That's correct, I'll update the docs. You only need to change the option in Links.pm.

If you are using Big5 or GB encoding and words are not separated by spaces, then you also need to use the search-ni.cgi as the built in search index won't work for you.

Cheers,

Alex
