Only hashtags with English/ASCII names are supported

[emorozov]

Describe the bug

When entering hashtag that contains any non-ASCII characters (e.g. tag in almost any language other than English), clicking on the hashtag won't display tagged posts.

Steps to reproduce (if necessary)

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Write a new post and add a hashtag #проверка
2. View the post and click on the hashtag
3. No posts will appear in search results

Expected behavior

Post tagged with #проверка should appear in test results

I've submitted a pull request that fixes the issue, but it's ignored for almost a month, hopefully creating an issue will attract more attention to it: #206

Same problem here, Chinese hashtag names #标签 are not supported in the latest version (0.11.2). I wish it could come up in the next update. Thanks for the work you've done.

I feel your pain. I manually compile my version of the writefreely when I update, it's inconvenient, so probably I'm going to look for some other blog that supports multiple languages properly.

Thanks for reporting this! Sorry for not responding earlier, but this is something I'd definitely like to fix.

Just so I'm sure, which database are you running your instances on, @emorozov and @idelem? In my tests, hashtags work fine right now -- see this test post. That instance is running on MySQL, so I'm curious if this is a SQLite issue.

[emorozov]

@thebaer Yes, this is SQLite-only issue.

[idelem]

@thebaer Yes, I'm also using SQLite.

Is there any follow-up on this? If there is no simple solution, I'd like to know if there is a way to move to mysql from sqlite3, thanks in advance

Quick update: this issue should be permanently addressed with T809.
