"Match full words only" with different alphabets

"Match full words only" with different alphabets

Hi everyone!

I am aware of this old post in this forum: Match whole words only and its bug report Match whole words only don't work for non-ASCII characters

I was wondering if this issue is already fixed in newer versions of Moodle and therefore newer php versions. It is not working correctly in my Moodle, but I may have something misconfigured or need to install or do something else.

I have a Moodle 3.5.4+ (Build: 20190124), php version 7.2.10 and default_charset UTF-8.

Any help will be appreciated. Thanks!

Belén

Hello Belén,

The bug report suggests that the problem is fixed in recent versions of Moodle. How about trying on https://demo.moodle.net/ ? Please post back to let us know how you get on.

Hello Helen,

thanks for the suggestion.

I just did it, and the sandbox has a similar behaviour as it does in my Moodle 3.5.

I attach a screenshot.

I forgot the explanation of the test:

1- I have created a glossary with 3 entries. All of them have the options "This entry should be automatically linked" and "Match whole words only" set :

house

αγκαζέ

está

2- I have configured the filters so the autolinking would work.

3- I have created a label with different combinations of the words, and I have written what I expected to be happening for each one of these combinations.

4- In the screenshot we can see that what I expect is not what's happening.

Thanks for the feedback!

Belén
