I am runing XF 2.1 on four frontend servers behind a load balancer (using a storage adapter so attachments etc are shared) When I change templates or phrases, these changes are not visible on all servers - so I need to rebuild caches on each I have been using xf:rebuild-master-data, which seems...

UPDATE: this problem was caused by not having PHP:s setting "default_charset" set to "utf-8' It was still on "iso-8859-1" which we hade before converting to XenForo. That caused html_entity_decode() to fail in EmojiFormatter; it should have converted the character entity to native character, but...

Yes, this was a fresh install with fullUnicode from the start. But I then changed the collation to utf8mb4_swedish_ci though, as I want that instead of the general_ci that is hardcoded into XenForo - to get proper sorting and searching for Swedish. (Unfortunately I did not check emoji support...

Thanks. But after more test, it turns out the problem is with the emoijis, not the smilies - smiles work fine, but emojis entered using editor are shown as &#... I have edited the thread title to reflect this.

On my recently launched forum (migrated from vBulletin 3.8) emojis entered using the XF post editor are converted to hex codes when I preview/post it. Is there some option I need to set or what is going on? The collation in my database is utf8mb4_swedish_ci, not the utf8mb4_general_ci thay...

Ah, that's a nice trick to have in the toolbox :) Thanks for the solution.

Excellent, thank you for quick answer. I had tried params to the tag, but did not know about the "context-" prefix. BTW, when using PHP callback widget - can that PHP method access the contextParams somehow? The variable is protected in AbstractWidget and I could not find a public access...

If I add a widget (I wrote) by selecting one or more positions for it (in the sidebar for example), it has access to a protected variable contextParams. In it I can find information about the current forum or thread, depending on where widget displays. But if I add the same widget using...

Yes we have many usernames with accented characters I will be running at least one more test import so I can try the fix out, but note that I will also be changing username to collation utf8mb4_bin to avoid getting a lot of our usernames changed ("ä" and "å" is not equal to "a" in Swedish -...

The collation choosen by XenForo when creating the database is either utf8mb4_general_ci or utf8_general_ci, this controls the case folding and what characters are considered equal. With the _general collations, letters "a", "å" and "ä" are considered equal. In the Swedish language, they are...

Yes here it is: Stack trace INSERT INTO `xf_deletion_log` (`content_type`, `content_id`, `delete_date`, `delete_user_id`, `delete_username`, `delete_reason`) VALUES (?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?) ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE delete_date = LEAST(delete_date, VALUES(delete_date)) ------------ #0...

I am using the new 1.3.2 importer to import a vBulletin 3.8 into XenForo 2.1.7 It failed on "Data too long for column" when inserting into xf_deletion_log, on column "delete_reason" Server is 5.6.43-84.3 - Percona Server I noticed that XF/Db/Mysqli/Adapter.php forces the database to use...
