How to pass JSON UTF-8 from Smarty template to Open Flash Chart 2

Recently I ran into the problem with passing UTF-8 JSON from Smarty to Open Flash Chart 2. By default Smarty is striping slashes from all variables that it passes to the template, and JSON is converting every UTF-8 Character with ‘\u’ in the beginning. Of cause Smarty was returning only ‘u’.

To force Smarty to pass variables with slashes you can do next:

1
$this->smarty->assign("chart", addslashes($chart->toString()) );

After that $chart will have correct JSON with correct UTF-8 Characters
