Hi,

when I make a custom module linked to an event and the event name or any content which will be in the module, contains a character with an accent, strange text like {{MODU appears just below the module. When i remove the accents all is ok.

Does anyone have an idea?

Thank you so much!
Hello,

Can you please post the accents you are trying to use?

And your JEvents suppor info?

Many thanks
Tony

Can you check your Database collation? Is it UTF-8?

Many thanks

Yes, all tables are in utf8_unicode_ci.
All other modules and features are doing fine. It is only the output of the custom module.

Can you explain exactly where you are placing the acent's so I can replicate the issue?

Many thanks

I have found the cause of this and it will be fixed in the next build or JEvents 3.4.0. Thanks for highlighting the issue.

It was caused by looking at string lengths without taking account of the fact that characters could be multi-byte.
