I have a CRED form where you are expected to enter a URL. I am using the Custom filed of type URL to validate the correct URL structure. Unfortunately, the URL field does not accept URLs that contain HINDI characters. Example, If you enter the following URL :

lien caché

You get an invalid URL. Yet when you visit that URL, it is a valid one.

How can we get around that problem?

Thanks

Hi Amr,

I was able to replicate the issue on a fresh install and brought it to the attention of our 2nd tier supporters.

For now I would recommend that you disable the URL validation in your custom field settings for this to work.

As soon as I get any other information on this I will let you know.

Thanks,
Shane

Hi Amr,

Thank you for getting in touch.

The issue here is that our validation uses the US-ASCII Character set. . These characters include digits (0-9), letters(A-Z, a-z), and a few special characters (“-“, “.”, “_”, “~”).

Hindi is not amongst the valid character set that can be used.

What I would recommend that you do is to encode your urls with the link below and then you should be able to add it to your url custom field
lien caché

Thanks,
Shane
