Upload of Extensions with Emoji(馃敽 馃煥馃煝) in the ext_emconf.php title
Problem to solve
Allow emojis in the title of Extensions. Because it is 2021
Further details
Currently we get an error on Upload if the extension title has an emoji in it:
Error 0: An exception occurred while executing 'INSERT INTO `tx_terfe2_domain_model_version` (`pid`, `crdate`, `tstamp`, `extension`, `title`, `description`, `author`, `version_number`, `version_string`, `upload_date`, `upload_comment`, `file_hash`, `download_counter`, `frontend_download_counter`, `state`, `em_category`, `create_dirs`, `uploadfolder`, `clear_cache_on_load`, `review_state`, `manual`, `has_manual`, `software_relations`, `t3x_file_size`, `zip_file_size`, `composer_info`, `compatible_typo3_versions`, `dependencies`, `authorname`, `authoremail`, `authorcompany`) VALUES (?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?)' with params [2, 1620981173, 1620981173, 20747, "Web Vitals Tracker \ud83d\udd3a\ud83d\udfe8\ud83d\udfe2", "Real Measurement Web Vitals Statistic for your TYPO3", "36626", 1000000, "1.0.0", 1620981173, "first working version", "6be7963f94e68d443f79770ea0585e0b", 0, 0, "stable", "fe", "", 0, 0, 0, "", 0, 0, 61568, 0, "{\"autoload\":{\"psr-4\":{\"Kanti\\\\WebVitalsTracker\\\\\":\"Classes\"}},\"name\":\"kanti\\\/web-vitals-tracker\"}", "", "[{\"kind\":\"depends\",\"extensionKey\":\"typo3\",\"versionRange\":\"11.2.0 - 11.5.99\"},{\"kind\":\"suggests\",\"extensionKey\":\"dashboard\",\"versionRange\":\"11.2.0 - 11.5.99\"}]", "Matthias Vogel", "typo3@kanti.de", ""]: Incorrect string value: '\xF0\x9F\x94\xBA\xF0\x9F...' for column `extensions-prod`.`tx_terfe2_domain_model_version`.`title` at row 1Tried with the title "Web Vitals Tracker
Proposal
a Possible solution could be to change the Database to utf8mb4 encoding
I found this Article (in german) https://www.hydroxi.de/utf8-vs-utf8mb4/
What does success look like, and how can we measure that?
