Unicode support

[AnasBuhayh]

I am working on an Arabic blog and whenever I insert the tags in Arabic it saves the tag's slug as an empty string.
is there a way to allow Unicode tags slugs?

Models

class Post(models.Model, HitCountMixin):
    title = models.CharField(max_length=255)
    slug = models.SlugField(unique=True, allow_unicode=True)
    summary = models.CharField(max_length=500)
    header_image = models.ImageField(null=True, blank=True, upload_to="images/")
    tags = TaggableManager()
    author = models.ForeignKey(User, on_delete=models.CASCADE)
    body = RichTextField(blank=True, null=True)
    post_date = models.DateField(auto_now_add=True)
    update_date = models.DateField(auto_now=True)
    category = models.ForeignKey(Category, related_name='posts', on_delete=models.CASCADE)
    featured = models.BooleanField(default=False)
    views = GenericRelation(HitCount, object_id_field='object_pk',related_query_name='hit_count_generic_relation')

Forms

class AddPostForm(forms.ModelForm):
    class Meta:
        model = Post
        fields = ('title','summary', 'body', 'header_image', 'category', 'tags')

        labels = {
        "title": "العنوان",
        "tags": "العلامات",
        "category": "التصنيف",
        "summary":"الملخص",
        "body": "المحتوى",
        "header_image": "الغلاف",
        }

        widgets = {
            'title': forms.TextInput(attrs={'class':'form-control'}),
            'tags': forms.TextInput(attrs={'class':'form-control', 'data-role':"tagsinput", 'name':"tags"}),
            'category': forms.Select(choices=choices_list, attrs={'class':'form-control'}),
            'summary': forms.TextInput(attrs={'class':'form-control'}),
            'header_image': forms.FileInput(attrs={'class':'form-control'}),
            'body': forms.Textarea(attrs={'class':'form-control'}), 
        }

Views

class AddPostView(CreateView):
    model = Post
    form_class = AddPostForm
    template_name = 'add_post.html'

    def form_valid(self, form):
        form.instance.author = self.request.user
        return super().form_valid(form)

mmm.... can you try encode utf-8 ?

[AnasBuhayh]

Hi @auvipy. try it where?

@AnasBuhayh It sounds strange to me. I have used Cyrillic for tags and have not seen any issues with taggit.

@sergeyklay I am really sorry but I found out that I didn't mention that my issue was with the slugs! the tag is saved but the slug associated with that tag is saved as an empty string.

sorry again for the confusion

[AnasBuhayh]

I think that someone tried to fix this #572

This should be fixed in django-taggit 3.0.0!

I try to use Django-taggit, but it saves all tags with Cyrillic slugs.

How can I fix it?

I have taggit v4.0 but this problem still actual.
