marquis_ce Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 Is there anyone else having problem in registerin domain because the special characters which onlinenic (or other registrars) dont accept.

sparky Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 Is there anyone else having problem in registerin domain because the special characters which onlinenic (or other registrars) dont accept.An internationalized domain name (IDN) is an Internet domain name that contains one or more non-ASCII characters. Such domain names could contain letters with diacritics, as required by many non-English languages, or characters from non-Latin scripts such as Arabic, Hebrew, Chinese or Hindi. However, the standard for domain names does not allow such characters, and much work has gone into finding a way to internationalize domain names into a standard ASCII format, thereby preserving the stability of the domain name system. read more... and also here... Onlinenic also wants phone numbers in a spesific format (which normal people dont write their phone numbers like it) Onlinenic like many others has to deal with people all over the world and it makes it easier to have the international phone number instead of having to look up country and area codes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nikos Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 sorry, maybe i misunderstood. Mine problem has not to do with non latin characters in domains. It has to do with non latin characters in domain owner/adress/city fields while trying to register. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dexus Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 Yes, that is also a problem to me. It would be great that WHMCS can clean all user data from any special characters and language specific characters when submiting data to the registrar API. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparky Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 No Problem...That is something that Matt would have to do. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marquis_ce Posted November 27, 2008 Author Share Posted November 27, 2008 Yes, the problem is not registering IDN. It is the problem in clients profile information which is using for registering for a new domain, such as name/lastname/address/city 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marquis_ce Posted December 25, 2008 Author Share Posted December 25, 2008 At least the registering form should not to accept non-latin characters and force to users to use latin characters while registering the system. I mean force to use latin characters to users while writing their name/lastname/address/city, etc. fields in registering forum. So they are able to register for a new domaind by using whmcs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dexus Posted December 25, 2008 Share Posted December 25, 2008 No, that would be a stupid solution, there must be a conversion of all language specific special characters for whois database only. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marquis_ce Posted December 25, 2008 Author Share Posted December 25, 2008 But the problem is not whmcs databese, it is the problem of domain registrar's database. We are already unable to write nonlatin characters while registering domain. As i said this problem is about onlinenic, enom, etc. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dexus Posted December 25, 2008 Share Posted December 25, 2008 I know, I understand you, what I meant is that WHMCS should do the character conversion of all special characters before submiting data for whois database to domain registrar. It would be stupid not to allow clients to enter their details correctly during order because of this, because correct details including all language specific characters should be on the invoice for example... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marquis_ce Posted December 25, 2008 Author Share Posted December 25, 2008 But every domain registrar has diffrent criteria, WHMCS should do one by one. I remember Matt solved the onlinenic phone number format in previous version. For example we enter phone number like 12345678 but Onlinenic needs +1.123456 and in version 3.6, Matt solved this problem, you enter whatever you want, it send to onlinenic as they wanted format like +cc.number (plus countrycode dot phonenumber) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
