Does not work with unicode characters

Could you provide an example like a screenshot or link to your website? I'll check what's going on. Maybe you're right and the flash file doesn't support unicode. But if you want you can check it as well. The flash is now open source.

Edit: picse on http://www.roytanck.com/2008/03/15/wp-cumulus-released/ wrote a comment and said that the font which is used within the flash doesn't support unicode. If this is true we have to change the flash and use another font...

This is on my to-do list.

@lut4rp: Can we handle it with implementing some utf8_encode functions? Or do you really think it's a problem of the flash file. Right now it seams like that.

I did some more investigation and found two posts:
1. http://www.roytanck.com/2008/11/07/about-wp-cumulus-in-chinese/#more-653
2. http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-cumulus/faq/ and http://www.roytanck.com/2008/08/04/how-to-add-more-characters-to-wp-cumu...

Conclusion: right now there is no solution for displaying Chinese or other Asian characters due to a limitation of Flash 9. Flash 10 seams to offer a solution. As soon as Roy fixes the Flash we will update the module.

I did some work, file size increased but it works

I have the same issue. A multilingual site. Only English characters are being displayed in Cumulus block. Other tags containing non-English charachters are not being displayed.

Interestingly enough, one of the tags is "non-Latin-Characters +1", so the the "non latin characters" in that tag are invisible, but the " +1" part of that tag is actually being displayed.

If anyone found a solution, please share.

Same problem. Have tried this "turkce" cumulus file as well (post #5). Both are missing polish fonts - instead of "łosoś" I have "oso".

I managed to get it to work in Chinese by modifying the .fla and embedding the chinese characteres needed so that the file keeps small, as shows the following pages; it works for me on swf test, but don't work when i import it on drupal...
I heard that the fla file has changed and is probably not the same version as the swf used in the drupal plugin (parameters may changed). If that's true is it possible to download the .fla version used for this drupal module?

for reference: these pages, successfuly implementing chinese on wordpress version of cumulus:

OK, I just committed the new Flash file to the dev branch of 6.x
It has all possible embedded characters, which makes the file size too big - 300 KB. And I'm not sure what languages to remove :-P

Please try it out with whatever languages you use Drupal with and tell me the results. Note: It will take up to 12 hours for the development build to be updated.

Hi,
I could not find the .fla file anywhere. Would you please point it out to me?

Thanks.

I had to remove the new SWF from the 1.x-dev branch as it was causing some errors in tag display. I just pushed the sources to my CVS sandbox, you can pull them from here - http://cvs.drupal.org/viewvc.py/drupal/contributions/sandbox/lut4rp/cumu...
If you prefer a tarball instead, I'll be pushing that to the sandbox as well in a moment. These sources contain all the files needed to compile a new SWF. You will need Flash Studio 8 or higher to work on them.

sorry, I have responded very late. I used cumulus in my web site http://www.kokdemir.org in the left side as you see. It works. and rar file I am attaching to the comment and flash setting screen shot you have to do. I did it for Turkish - I mean Turkish chars. for other languages everyone has to add their languages non-latin chars etc. but method is shown here works.
Firstly, I have tried it with xml file with Turkish chars and then I replaced swf file with modules swf file then worked.

some charters dont display. e.g. "Ö"

i make a swf with chinese simple font, it reaches 5.30mb, god, i must give up this great plugin.... pitty.......

sory for my mistake. Ö and ö chars were added. in my site www.kokdemir.org it does work.
I am adding new rar file.

Will someone who has had some success in publishing a new SWF from Flash please explain what I am doing wrong in this thread: http://drupal.org/node/649794

Much appreciated!

Subscribe. Interested in implementing Turkish and Cyrillic characters.

I embeded to the hungarian chars also into the FLA.
After i changed the cumulus.swf in /modules/cumulus/cumulus.swf to this SWF, everyting works perfectly.

Cheers

Does anyone know if non-latin solution for Cumulus has been incorporated into the official roadmap?

To get displayed polish characters replace the /sites/all/modules/cumulus/cumulus.swf with the .swf file attached below. I am using version 7.x-1.x-dev of Cumulus module.

Solution from #27 works also for the Czech language, thanx
