Well I don’t know what is going wrong. I don’t *think* I need to do anything special to get UTF-8. The code just outputs what is in the database and it is up to the browser to display things properly. WP itself presumably is sending a proper ‘Charset:’ heading, based on how WP is configured. The only possiblity I can think of is the database field types could be wrong. Most of the fields are set to varchar(n), maybe they need to be something else?

To allow a loan period of 0, you would need to edit database_code.php in the includes sub-directory, changing this method of class WEBLIB_Type:

function set_loanperiod($days) {
	  //file_put_contents("php://stderr","*** Type->set_loanperiod($days)\n");
	  //file_put_contents("php://stderr","*** Type->set_loanperiod(): this->dirty = $this->dirty\n");
	  if ($days < 1) {
	    trigger_error("Illegal loan period: $days\n", E_USER_ERROR);
	  }
	  $this->theloanperiod = $days;
	  $this->dirty = true;
	  //file_put_contents("php://stderr","*** Type->set_loanperiod(): this->dirty = $this->dirty\n");
	}

Change the test for the Illegal loan period error.

Did you deactivate and reactivate the plugin? You might need to delete the patron table to force its recreation. Also did you update line 74 of includes/database_code.php?

if (strlen($this->record['state']) != 2) return(-1);

The system should have UTF support. You probably need to be sure your web browser AND web server support UTF and in fact support the same UTF coding. Also, you need to be sure your Word Press install is also supporting UTF.

You have the search page as some page or post other than the home page and you are using the default permalink (?p=nnn). Change the permalink setting to anything other than the default (?p=nnn).

Just to be clear: The PDF downloaded from the URL in my previous reply opens just fine in all three of the PDF viewers I have: gv (GhostView), xpdf, and evince, all under CentOS 5 (Linux). It also works with the built-in PDF viewer in Firefox as well.

The Circulation Statistics code is somewhat broken and I haven’t had time to fix it. Basically, you can’t really use it at present.

Well the weblib_searchform short code creates a single <form>…</form> block.

I *guess* you could do something like:

<table><tbody><tr><td align="top">[weblib_searchform ...]</td><td align="top">Help</td></tr></tbody></table>
[weblib_itemlist ...]
