Description
If a headline from Delicious contains an accented character (at least one of the Swedish åäö, but I suspect this bites in other cases also) it will be cut off just before that character.
For example, if this page is saved in Delicious: "Varumärket viktig trafikkälla" - http://www.e-handelstrender.se/2009/03/varumarket-viktig-trafikkalla/ it will show as "Varum"
#1
In delicious.inc, class _delicious_post_parser, function start_element there is this line:
$desc = db_escape_string(utf8_decode($attrs["DESCRIPTION"]));that produces strange decodings. I suspect that the text in
$attrs["DESCRIPTION"])is already decoded once. Whatever the cause, removing the decoding like this:$desc = db_escape_string($attrs["DESCRIPTION"]);solves the problem with the cut off.
(I'm sorry, but I don't know how to make a patch.)
#2
The code that is changed in the workaround described in comment #1 has moved into delicious.module. Other than that, it still can be fixed the same way.
