Hi, I'm experiencing a problem that I can't seem to solve. When I want to search for a ticket in the dashboard, for example by "first and last name", I get an SQL error.

I've checked my tables and the database, I'm in utf8mb4, I've tried to modify the queries by adding COLLATE 'utf8mb4_unicode_ci' etc... But the error persists.

Could you please give me an idea?

Thanks

Code: Select all

Impossible d'exécuter SQL: SELECT COUNT(*) AS `cnt`, `status`, IF (`owner` = 2, 1, IF (`owner` = 0, 0, IF (`assignedby` = 2, 3, 2) ) ) AS `assigned_to`, IF (`due_date` < NOW(), 2, IF (`due_date` BETWEEN NOW() AND (NOW() + INTERVAL 7 DAY), 1, 0) ) AS `due` FROM `hesk_tickets` WHERE 1 AND 1 AND `name` LIKE '%arguin%' COLLATE 'utf8mb4_unicode_ci' GROUP BY `assigned_to`, `due`, `status`

MySQL a dit:
COLLATION 'utf8mb4_unicode_ci' is not valid for CHARACTER SET 'utf8mb3'

What is the $hesklang['_COLLATE'] set to in your /language/(language name)/text.php file?

Should be

Code: Select all

$hesklang['_COLLATE']='utf8_general_ci';

or similar.

Also, not sure how you ended up on utf8mb3 charset, Hesk installation files set it to utf8?

In folder en is :

Code: Select all

$hesklang['_COLLATE']='utf8_unicode_ci';

In folder fr is :

Code: Select all

$hesklang['_COLLATE']='utf8_general_ci';

I try to set :

Code: Select all

$hesklang['_COLLATE']='utf8mb4_unicode_ci';

and :

Code: Select all

$hesklang['_COLLATE']='utf8mb4_general_ci';

But it doesn't change anything.

In phpMyAdmin, my tables are in utf8mb4.

How did you install Hesk? With the original installation files, the charset should not be set to utf8mb4.

What version of MySQL are you using?
What version of PHP?

What I would try is:
- backup the database
- convert all tables and columns from utf8mb4 to utf8
- try again with original Hesk charsets

I try this SQL request :

Code: Select all

SET FOREIGN_KEY_CHECKS = 0;

SELECT CONCAT('ALTER TABLE `', table_name, '` CONVERT TO CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_general_ci;')
FROM information_schema.tables
WHERE table_schema = 'MyDatabase'
    AND table_type = 'BASE TABLE';

SET FOREIGN_KEY_CHECKS = 1;

But the mistake is always there.
EDIT : I tried several things, the SQL query, I modified directly from phpMyAdmin the encoding of all tables and columns in utf8mb3, I modified in the source code the COLLATE, I deleted the "mb4", etc.... But the error is still there.

The version of Hesk I have installed is 3.4.3 with the standard installation provided by Hesk.

Code: Select all

Your SQL code changes the default table character set (for new columns), but the existing ones are probably still utf8mb3

Does it work for you if you try utf8mb3_general_ci as the collation?

If not, the only thing I can think off is that the entire database, including all tables and all columns, will have to be converted to utf8 from utf8mb3

I modified the entire database, all tables and columns with utf8mb3, but I had not modified the $hesklang['_COLLATE'] line in language.

I set it to :

Code: Select all

$hesklang['_COLLATE']='utf8mb3_unicode_ci';

And it works, I don't get the ticket search error anymore, I'll keep testing, but it looks good, thanks for your help!
