[Plugin: Duplicator] Not working right with non-latin UTF-8 character set

I have same problem with russian language.
Ex. ? ?????????
What line I should edit in current version 0.2.9 and where insert mysql_query(“SET NAMES ‘utf8’ “);?

Thanks!

Hi lifeinthegrid!

You are right! It works now!!!

Thanks!

Hi Lifeinthegrid,

Same problem here with Turkish character ç ü ğ ö etc. I use WP 3.4.1, Duplicator 0.3.1 .

I follow the orders

1. When creating a package, be sure that in the options dialog the checkbox ‘Enable database encoding’ is unchecked

2. When running the installer make sure the checkbox for ‘Enable MySQL character set’ is checked

I look around the installer.php and i see that you use mysqli and i couldn’t find any bug. I focus line 134

$dbmysqlichar = (isset($_POST['dbmysqlichar']) && $_POST['dbmysqlichar'] == '1')  	? true : false;

line 723-726

if ($dbmysqlichar) {
    mysqli_set_charset( $mysqli_conn, "{$GLOBALS['MYSQL_CHARSET']}");
    dinstaller_log("MySql: charater set enabled to '{$GLOBALS['MYSQL_CHARSET']}'\n");
		}

And Advanced Opts form line 1010 – 1024.

Is there any way to work around this problem? Or I miss something?

Thanks.

Hey onur,

The fix for this is in the developer line. Just reinstall that version and it should work. It should also be available in 0.3.2 when it is released…

When using the older mysql libs “UTF-8” was the required string. Updating to mysqli it required “utf8”. I thought I had covered this in testing but somehow it got overlooked sorry about the confusion!

Cheers!
