Hi, I have strange problem in combination of Zope, LDAP server and ZopeLDAP product. In LDAP the entries are held in unicode (utf8). And those entries using some PHP script can be converted to iso8859-2. So on server side everything is ok. But when I'm querying those entries in Zope the result is buggy. The national characters (polish in my case) are converted to something strange. I'm working on linux, Zope 2.6.1 and dummy codecs.lookup set to 'iso-8859-2' in z2.py. I've also tried something like this: <dtml-in usersShow_proceed> <tr> <td><dtml-var expr="_.unicode(givenName)"></td> <td><dtml-var _.unicode(sn)"></td> <td><dtml-var expr="_.unicode(cn)"></td> </tr> </dtml-in> Effect is the same. When tryin something like this: <dtml-var expr="_.unicode(givenName,'iso8859-2')"> I've got: Error Type: TypeError Error Value: coercing to Unicode: need string or buffer, instance found Has anybody idea what is wrong in my procedure?
