Hm, yea. That is possible with 3.26 - we were using the wrong function for the max size of a word.
Try it with this utils.php (place it in components/components/com_comment/joscomment

backup the old one and place this one in place.

Or find the function setMaxLength and replace it with this one:

    function setMaxLength($text, $_maxlength_text)
    {
        if (($_maxlength_text != -1) && (mb_strlen($text) > $_maxlength_text))
            $text = mb_substr($text, 0, $_maxlength_text-3) . '...';
        return $text;
    }

The date was not displayed because of that here: compojoom.com/forum.html?func=view&catid=10&id=3044 you had to change the format of the date, but it doesn't matter now.

Hi Daniel,
I have a similar problem using Thai characters. I tried utils-fc25f49c036f150dc1345804d7614a41.zip already but it does not fix the problem.
Here is the text again I also posted in the demo section
This is what is stored (and showed) in the comment component:

เป็นชุดที่ดูทันส� �ัยมาเลยย
ต้องไปหาซื้อที่ไ� �น
กรุณาบอกรายละเอี�
�ดให้ด้วย
ขอบคุณมา ก

Originally typing IS:
เป็นชุดทีดูทันสมัยมากเลยยต้องไปหาซื้อที่ไหน กรุณาบอกรายละเอียดให้ด้วย
ขอบคุณมาก

One more hint:
I mean it look much better on YOUR demo then on the original site. However, there is still a mistake on YOUR site. When the system did a word wrap while typing the Thai text still looked good BEFORE pressing send. After sending, the wrap at "ละเอ
ียดให ้ด้วย" is wrong. See the ี character on the อี is missing... Well, I need another lesson in Thai.

I hope you can help.
Kind regards from Bangkok
Walter

P.S.: Here is the link to demo section: demo.compojoom.com/index.php?option=com_...ws&Itemid=50#josc439

Hey guys! I'm a little confused - please excuse me. I neither speak greek, neither thai

. Cyrillic is ok, but ...

Can you please store the text you want to post on the demo site in a utf-8 text file and upload it here. This way I will have the possibility to insert in my developer version and compare it with the original to finally find out what the ... is not working. Thank you!

Hello Daniel,

thank you for looking into it. And, even better, SO fast.

Attached is the Thai-utf-8 file.

Well, I am confused with Thai all the time and I understand you are totally confused. I at least can read it. Writing is different. But with the sample I attached we cover most of the Thai special characters.

Thanks for your help again.

Kind regards

Walter

Hey Walter,
I will not try your file, because I believe I found the problem.
I finally got the strange characters

I'm really sorry guys! I was giving you the utils.php file all the time, but we are not using only the functions in this file

So I replaced the string functions in mod_comment with utf-8 aware ones and now it should work. Please test it and report
