Works now – thanks so much!
I like things that magically work 🙂Hi Michael,
I managed to set up a debug site. How can I start communicating with you directly to give you access instructions?
I really appreciate your help! (as does my daughter’s PTA – whose WordPress website I’m helping out with)
Thanks,
DanaHi Michael,
This new feature is working beautifully for me. Thank you so much!(Last week I posted some additional details in a character encoding issue thread. Wondering if you had a chance to take a look)
Thanks for the info both of you. I could probably figure out the php instructions / creating my own shortcode, but if Michael is working on something that might be ready in a week or so (that will be much easier to use), then I’ll be patient and wait for that.
I’m having pretty much exactly the same problem.
Some characters are getting corrupted when going into the database (e.g., an apostrophe likely copied / pasted in from Word is my guess during a contact 7 form submission). The characters look fine in the email that gets sent, but in the database they are not correct.
I thought this was likely some UTF-8 character encoding issue. I’ve recreated by submitting Ä, ä, Ö, ö, Ü, ü, ß as part of a test form submission. These again are correct in the email, but wrong (Ä, ä, Ö, ö, Ãœ, ü, ß) in the database.
My php database columns are confirmed to be: utf8_general_ci
WordPress 3.2.1
PHP Version 5.2.17
MySQL Version 5.1.53-logI looked at my wp-config.php and tried entering the following (this was not there at all):
/** Database Charset to use in creating database tables. */
define(‘DB_CHARSET’, ‘utf8’);/** The Database Collate type. Don’t change this if in doubt. */
define(‘DB_COLLATE’, ”);This caused a bunch of errors / miscodings on existing posts in the website so I quickly undid that change.
Interestingly I can go into the contact form 7 db table directly using phpmyadmin and in the same row where my original umlaut characters are munged, I can paste in the original umlaut characters and they do NOT get garbled.
Seems like there is some issue between the capturing of the data in the form (after the email is sent with the form values) and prior to the insert into the database table where the character encoding is going awry.

Any luck recreating the bug in Safari?

In reply to: [Contact Form DB] Where do I find a URL for uploaded filesI’m on a Mac (10.6.8). I’ve tested both my laptop and my desktop at work.
It’s definitely not working in Safari 5.0.5 – always adds the .html extension
I tried Firefox 6.0.1 and that seems to work to the extent that the file extension is .pdf, however I get strange behavior at the time of the download. In particular, on both my computers, Firefox did not know what application to open the file with (all other times I download a pdf, it opens straight away in Preview). Even stranger was that on one of the computers the “do you want to save this file” window said that the file was an Excel file.
I suspect that somehow during the file streaming the mime type is set incorrectly.
Thanks for your help.

In reply to: [Contact Form DB] Where do I find a URL for uploaded filesHi Michael,
I’m helping ArundelMom with her site.The issue is that the file download URL is erroneously appending a .html extension to the pdf file… so when downloaded the file has a name that looks like this: myFile.pdf.html
Therefore your computer has the wrong file extension and tries to open a pdf format as an html text file, hence the garbled output. If you remove the html extension the file opens file.
An example download link for one of these files looks like this:
Is there some way to alter the URL query string to get the file with a valid name / extension or can the bug in the action be fixed?
Thanks for your help.
