3.2.5 group names do not accept UTF-8?
January 12, 2011, 03:53:11 am
Trying to add non-English characters via the "Add Group" function, and got this error:

Sorry. A non-recoverable error has occurred.
is not of type String
Return to home page.

Any workaround?

Can you try to reproduce on demo.civicrm.org ?

We had a bug on how the name/label was handled at one point, but should be fixed now.

And I think the error occurred when the name of the group was 31 chars or more, and should be solved with version 3.2.4......just ran it to that at a customer :-)

in demo.civicrm.org, running 3.3, it is working.

Any 3.2.5 demo site I can try? I simply paste "區間" in Group Name.

I just tried on a 3.2.4 demo site, and it worked. What is the complete name you are trying to create?

I have just tried with the characters you supplied here? This is our own demo site in Dutch......attached a screen print of the group I created.

We are not all old hands here, it is all still fairly new to me as well :-)
I just checked on my demo site with just these charactes as a name, so 區間 rather than testgroep 區間 and than I get the error too! As far as I can see it has nothing to do with the special characters, the same happens if I add a group with the name 5. Looks like the error occurs if the first char of the name is not alpha.

It is solved in the latest version, as I do not get this problem in the demo version. Can you upgrade?

I prefer not to upgrade to 3.3.x, yet.

I'll compare 3.2.5's /sites/all/modules/civicrm/CRM/Core/DAO.php, line 942 and 893 to 3.3.2 and see if I can just make a change there....

Thanks mate!

That was going to be my next suggestion...although I would backtrace from the postProcess in CRM/Group/Form/Edit.php rather than jump straight to the DAO.php?

DAO.php has no difference.

You're right. Difference starts at /CRM/Group/Form/Edit.php. I'm not sure how to proceed atm.  Might work on it when I'm more conscious tmr morning.
