Metabox & Widget doesn't work after WP lang change

  • Hi,

    you are created great module! Hope it will be as core in the future ??

    But there is very specific undesirable behavior. Your module has been installed on default english version of wordpress.
    There works everything like you see here:

    ajax query is:

    action=aam&sub_action=load_metaboxes&_ajax_nonce=0208e82727&subject=role&subject_id=administrator&refresh=1

    but after change WPLANG constant to Slovak (sk_SK) and refresh meta boxes they are disappeared.

    query is same:

    action=aam&sub_action=load_metaboxes&_ajax_nonce=0208e82727&subject=role&subject_id=administrator&refresh=1

    But in Deutch language de_DE it works, Polish, French also.

    Maybe mistake in translation? Some bad unicode character? I will try to investigate.

    Regards.

    Found it!

    You use non-unicode PHP functions:

    strlen, substr, etc…

    there must be used multibyte safe:

    mb_substr, mb_strlen

    because in slovak we have characters like ???? and there are converted to character which looks like question mark, and that is not compatible with json_encode() utf-8 character set.

    i found using old in these files:

    application/view/
    metabox.php lines: 208, 209
    menu.php lines: 75, 76

    Regards!

    Hi Radovan,
    Wow ?? Appreciate your time and investigation. This is very helpful.

    We have to find some other solution rather than using mb_* functions. The problem with that is that these functions are not in PHP Core till 5.3 version.

    But we’ll figure out something. Very soon.

    Best Regards,

    You are welcome ??

    i invesitgate, because AAM is my fundamental module. Like it because groups together much things to one. No need to have multiple plugins like Members, Admin Menu Editor, etc..

    No worry about mulibyte, don’t know from you have multibyte is available with version 5.3. On php.net is that it was from 4.0.6

    https://www.php.net/mb_substr
    https://www.php.net/manual/en/function.mb-strlen.php

    Hi Radovan,
    Thanks. I have few cases when mb_ functions were not working because the PERL lib was missing for these functions.
    AAM now is no longer just a plugin. It is a platform which can be easily extended with Extensions. We have here at least dozen Extensions to develop and we will introduce them with each new stable release.

    Appreciate your feedback.

    Hi,

    i know there could be some specific problems, but no one at serious web hosting.

    Nowadays i don’t work with PHP only with WordPress, but before few years when i write applications in php, i have no problems with that. I thinks that every hosting compile with mbstring support if not have PHP 5.3 version which was released about 4,5 years ago ??

    Sorry for my bad words that AAM is plugin. You are right, it is platform.
    I really hope and good luck to be more and more better ??

    Regards!

    Dear friends,

    I have same problem here, so I follow the suggestion of Radovan, but my sidebars still not appear, if I deactivate the AAM, then the sidebars appear again in the widget area.

    Anybody can help?

    Thank you very much, AAM solved many problems ??

    Hi guys,
    The latest update should fix the issue.

    Regards,
    Vasyl
