where would i replace for cb query multiselect optgroup?

Hello!

Had to pull some data out of a K2 extra_fields, which stores the JSON data like "Pite\u0219ti" instead of "Pitești" (the \u0219 is the "ș" letter).


I've had a look through the cbqueryfield.php, but I don't really see where/how I'd do a str_replace to get those dumb \u0xxx translated to the proper diacriticals.

The data, as you can see, is being used for the optgroup, as:

<optgroup label="Pite\u0219ti" id="cb_studiouritot____cbf26">
<option value="beauty-chat-studio" id="cb_studiouritot____cbf27">Beauty Chat Studio</option>
<option value="black-orchid-studio" id="cb_studiouritot____cbf28">Black Orchid Studio</option>
<option value="black-buc" id="cb_studiouritot____cbf29">Black Studio (București)</option>
<option value="black-tm" id="cb_studiouritot____cbf30">Black Studio (Târgu Mureș)</option>
</optgroup>

Just need to know how/where to edit the CB Query php or js to slot in something to replace those \u0xxx codes.

Thanks!

K2 stores the extra field select options as a JSON encoded string. CB Query Field isn't really designed to handle that scenario. You're better off using CB Code Field where you can generate a select fields options using raw PHP. Your PHP would use K2 API or query for that row directly and parse the JSON out properly.

Also worth noting we do not support core edits and can not advise you regarding them beyond file locations.

Oh good point. I'll look at the CB Code ... did a very messy query in the meantime as a band-aid. Couldn't get a unicode-to-UTF function to do anything, so did a series of REPLACE()s. Eh, it works.

Thanks!

Believe K2 has API for specifically grabbing extra fields. You'll need to consult with K2 or review API documentation if available for such usage, but should make building the list significantly easier.
