Post subject: Fix for AutoTheme/render and UTF-8 (MDLite & MDP 1.07x)
This is a fix a condition where AutoTheme wouldn't detect the blocks (e.g. md_blocks) table has been properly updated when the MySQL table used the UTF-8 character set/encoding. This happened because MySQL reports 3*255 as $field->max_length, not 255.
For MDPro 1.07x: Replace this function in modules/AutoTheme/includes/md-pro/atAdmin.php
For MDLite: Replace this function in modules/Autorender/includes/atExtended.php
Rationale: The function was checking for $field->max_length == 255, a sign that the table has been updated to hold the allowable values for block positions (now strings). MySQL (possibly wrongly) returns this size in octets, not characters. Since MySQL supports just UCS-2, its longest UTF-8 character spans over 3 octets, and the maximum octet count for a 255 character UTF-8 string is 255 * 3 = 765 octets. This patch changes this line to check whether the field maximum length is equal or greater than 255, which fits AutoTheme's purpose and works with MySQL in both UTF-8 and legacy character sets/encodings, as well as other databases.
