unicode issue in tag and url

edit

Many Thanks. for the unicode part in url - could you please point me to the code I've to change, unless you dont' come up with the experimental feature shortly. For the tag - my example is with a Hindi word - u mean not all the characters in that word are Unicode?

Then there must be a bug in the python regex module or maybe in the browser (try entering the same chars in a different browser). It seems to be thinking that you have a word break within the sequence of characters. The solutions to these would be: (1) identify and fix the bug in the program that causes the error; (2) in askbot relax the rules on tag validation, maybe per some optional setting.

thanks again. I'm working with mainly Bengali (that word was Hindi, anyway). Please check with a sample word in Bengali, বাংলাদেশ (this is the name of the country, Bangladesh)

The slugification code is in askbot.utils.slug.slugify. Actually there is an option already that will enable unicode support in the slug portion of the urls, it is not yet in the live settings, but in django's settings.py file ALLOW_UNICODE_SLUGS.

Strange, the last word you entered in the comment does not show well in my Chrome.

I set ALLOWUNICODESLUGS=True in askbot-devel/askbot/setup-templates/settings.py, then run 'python setup.py develop', restarted the server. But still url is not in unicode.

Please add that setting to your project settings.py, not the setup_templates one.

About not seeing the unicode word in chrome, I'm not sure if that's an chrome issue (its working in my chrome). I just checked with a freshly installed firefox, it shows the characters properly there, but can't insert as tag still.

Yes, Evgeny!!! The unicode title is showing up in the url as it is - as soon as I changed in project's settings.py. So many thanks!!
