I am busy this week, so I might not get to the Movable Type guide for Urdu blogging for a few days. My plan is to provide two guides:
- The quick one would get you a bilingual blog in which your posts can be in Urdu but other stuff, like dates etc., will be in English.
- The detailed one which configures everything to be different for Urdu and English posts.
For now, here are two posts I wrote about setting up my own blog for Urdu last year: Urdu Blogging and Web and More about Urdu Blogging. In addition to some configuration instructions, they have a list of resources. However, my instructions are quite confused and not orderly at all. I’ll try to fix that and write a better and concise set of instructions soon.
Assalam u alaikum
I have a site at
http://www.sahilonline.org/urdu
the problem of this urdu blog is i can type urdu in the textarea but the same data will automaticaly be converted to unknown characters in ms access database after submiting.
hence i cant retrieve urdu text from database. how can i solve this ?
any help is appreciated. i m using asp and ms access.
thanks
emad: Which version of MS-Access are you using?
Thanks for ur comments.. currently i m using ms access 2000 and i can switch to xp as well if need arises..
emad: I think Access 2000 was the first version to have Unicode support. It might be a problem with the function(s) which get the text from the textarea and write it to the database.
Asp function is fine. i can store english data with same function..
there is no problem is asp code..
emad: While the asp code might be handling ASCII fine, it could still have problems with Unicode.
do u have any working asp code ?
or how can i convert urdu text to utf-8 b4 submit to db ?
thanks
emad: I don’t have any asp code and am not really familiar with asp. Sorry, I can’t be of any help.
سلام و علیکم
امید کے آپ بخیر عافیت سے ہونگے۔
اللہ حافظ
