Filemanager can't load folders with umlauts in 2.8.*

desper · February 24, 2021, 7:27pm

edit: sorry, I just saw this bug is already reported https://github.com/modxcms/revolution/issues/15328

With MODX 2.8.0 and 2.8.1, the filemanager can’t open folders anymore that have umlauts like äöü in the name. I tried it with multiple installations on different server including modx cloud. It did work until 2.7.3.
I also upgraded one site from 2.7.3. to 2.8.0 to test both version in the same environment.

It is still possible to create folders with names like “test-ä” but that’s it. The css hover effect does also not work for these directories. I tried it with multiple browsers too.

It’s somehow connected with this line in the code

modxcms/revolution/blob/f35216075284b9df1fc07d20f6914bea1ce48ece/core/model/modx/processors/browser/directory/getlist.class.php#L64


    }
    if (!$this->source->checkPolicy('list')) {
        return $this->modx->toJSON(array());
    }
    $this->source->setRequestProperties($this->getProperties());
    $this->source->initialize();

    $list = $this->source->getContainerList($this->getProperty('dir'));
    foreach ($list as &$item) {
        // Make sure the id is HTML-safe as it will be inserted into an attribute
        $item['id'] = htmlentities($item['id'], ENT_QUOTES, 'UTF-8');
    }
    return $this->modx->toJSON($list);
}

/**
 * Get the active Source
 * @return modMediaSource|boolean
 */
public function getSource() {
    $this->modx->loadClass('sources.modMediaSource');

If I comment this line out, I can open the folder.
