I bet you all thought that I was going to talk about
shipping Community Sever Enterprise Reporting. I would, but then I would be
lying and I don't lie. This morning I
shipped a fifty pound package back home. I am so happy that Adam and I decided
that we would ship clothes and extra stuff
that we have acquired down here, back
home. My return flight should now be about fifty pounds lighter!
I worked on fixing a small bug today which has been plaguing
us for some time. Basically, some of the
data that Community Sever stores in the database is not
in a consistent format. Like some fields in the database have '
instead of ' and vice-versa. This is a big pain because the browser renders
these (what?) different. When we
generate queries on the fly, one has to have
the text field exactly how it was returned from the database. I tried using
UTF8 encoding but quickly found out that didn't do very much. It helped in
some cases. The solution that I used was to replace the ' with a
completely different character only where it was needed. It was an easy
fix... almost too
easy!
