I can't seem to figure out of this is a Dash or a module bug (or a bug with AMFPHP), but I figured I get the ball rolling here.

Basically, Dash is not parsing numerical characters (or any other non-a-z,A-Z letter for that matter) through the linktext argument. In other words, if I try to create a playlist called 'Conferences 2009' it will only output 'conferences'. I know that linktext is of type 'string' (though I was under the impression this didn't really matter in php) so I tried using the strval() function but to no avail. I also tried commenting out the encoding call in AMFPHP as described here, but still no love.

Any thoughts? Has anyone else successfully named a playlist that contained a number?

This actually might be a skin problem not embedding the right fonts and characters, but I am not totally sure. I will look into this and get back with you.

Thanks for your patience.

Travis.

I tested our 'default' skin on my test-site. I embedded: Uppercase, Lowercase, Numerals, Punctuation. My test used: 2009, $, - I found the output to be what is expected. We may have to look deeper into your skin.

Hey Jay,

What skin are you using? If it is the Default skin, then we will need to try and figure out something else. If it is a custom skin, then font embedding is probably your issue.

Let us know.

Travis.

Hi Travis - thanks for this. It is indeed the default skin I am using. I thought it might have something to do with my locahost version of Apache, but the same is happening on my production server.
