Problem with "german" admin-name

Post by Harald Weingaertner »

Hello,

i've installed a new blog and the admin username is "Günther".

After the installation i was not able to log into the blog. I then changed the username from "Günther" to "Guenther" and it worked. So i guess, that Serendipity cannot handle admin usernames with special characters.

Just wanted to let you know. Maybe it was my fault, but the admin name IS Günther ;)

Hi!

Yes, sadly this is still a bug we're working on:

http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.ph ... tid=542822

It works if you change the username AFTER installation, but UTF-8 chars DURING installation will get corrupted.

Regards
Garvin
