Hi Dionisis,

I think this problem has already been fixed in the latest LAMS Moodle module as I have try this with the a username with Greek characters and it seems that it works (see attached pictures).

Using the LAMS-Moodle demo server (http://moodle.lamscommunity.org), I created a user called Εργαλείο Δραστηριοτήτων (sorry, just got this from the internationalization site). Then when adding a LAMS lesson to a Moodle course, I can see the name of my user properly in the drop down menu (see attached pictures)

If you want to try it, go to the LAMS-Moodle demo server and login as username: greek password: greek.

Let me know if you have any problems.

Thanks,

Ernie

Dionisis,

Looking at the bug fixes we just did for LAMS 2.0.3, I came across this fix. So this should be fixed once you upgrade to version 2.0.3.

It might be, however, that if the folder name doesn't get fixed once you upgrade to 2.0.3, that we need to change the folder name manually in the database (as this was created in an earlier version). If that's the case, please let me know and we can think of a script to fix this.


Thanks,

Ernie

High Ernie
thanks thanks for the quick responce and sorry for the delay to replay.I copied the 2 files of the bugfix in my lamstwo folder and the problem is remaining. Youre right, the names of the unreadable folders comes from the names of users of our first moodle site(1.7)which had problem with greek characters. If you can delete them(or rename) directly from the server it would be good.

Dear Ernie,
continuing yesterday 's post i am attaching a screen from Lams Monitor (opened through Moodle) where a user is dispalyed with no readable characters. The non readable fields are the first and the last name of a user who is displayed normally in moodle db(Mysql with Utf-8 encoding).We use LDAP authentication in Moodle and the profile of the user comes from LDAP, contains greek characters in many fields which are displayed in moodle with no problem. I send the srceen beacuse i think it may be the same problem with greek folders in sequence tree. Lams2 db is Mysq5 with utf8_general_ci encoding.

Thanks again
Dionisis

Hi Dionisis,

In your previous messages you mentioned that you are using LAMS2.0.2. Have you upgraded to LAMS 2.0.3? I think that will solve this problem as shown in this bug report.

Thanks,

Ernie
