Event_freetag and 8bit (Russian) tags

[LazyBadger]

Can't tell, when it was broken, but in current 3.25 filter by any 8bit tags will find 0 records. Entries counted in block correctly, shown - only English tags-clicks

Hi!

Yeah, we added _utf8 typecasting there, but that sadly lead to problems when the character set of the table is something other than latin1. In all, UTF-8 strings currently do not work well in the plugin, but due to mysql errors in the common setup of the plugin when using UTF-8 we had to change the current logic.

I believe the plugin needs change to be able to query the current collation type of the mysql table column, and depending on that either add or not add the _utf8 typecasting. Sadly this is a bit complicated, I could need help on this

I can rollback to 3.23, if I'll be able to get older version (no CVS client at all)

Hi!

I've just committed version 3.27 of the plugin that adds a collation check...can you test if that works?

Updated plugin by hand (Spartacus still mention .26) and yes - tags correctly function now

Hm, but the change is not contained in .26, so a different change made earlier might have fixed it in your case already.
