[bc_santana]

Hi there

the same issue was solved in this post:
http://forum.openkm.com/viewtopic.php?t=5812
i dont have a lot of java experience & i dont wanna miss with compiling
i would like to ask if this can be implemented in any future update of openkm
it would really help alot

Thanks & Best Regards

Which OpenKM version are you running?

[bc_santana]

Version: 6.2.1 (build: 7659)

[jllort]

have you installed openoffice or libreoffice with arabic support in your OpenKM server ?

[bc_santana]

I have OpenOffice 3.4.1 with arabic support

[jllort]

Sure you got arabic support for openoffice in your server no ? in case afirmative you should send us minimal template and test to make some tests.

find attached a sample form made for consulting property group
if i used arabic characters in the name field it will be saved in the database & can be viewed on the metadata page
but its not filling the form itself (it would show blank)

[jllort]

And if you fill in english characters then are stored correctly on your document ?

[bc_santana]

yes it does

I can confirm it does not work with Arabic characters. I have created an issue http://issues.openkm.com/view.php?id=2541 .
