v4.0.x Special character in email subject

[hel68c +]

Hi,

I am trying to display accented characters in the Subject of messages sent for renewal. the characters seem to be filtered.

In the example below, the accent character in the variable $title are well display but the character "�" is replace with a blank character.

{assign var='subject' value="Votre annonce '$title' est � la limite de son terme et est sur le point d'expirer!"}

Do you know how to put accent character in a Subject?

Why not use the code à in the email template and see if that resolves it.

I tried and it display the à not the � .

I see that smarty.const.MAIL_RECIEPT_SUBJ is not defined in the french.php file but it is in the english.php and spanish.php file .

Try defining it in the french.php file yourself.

I also note that a number of MAIL_ variables between the english.php and french.php files are missing. Well it is in my release * @version $Revision: 284 $ . Put the two files side by side and check them out. The two files look quite different. I can only talk about my version/release though.

I don't have the multilingual Module. I made my own modification.

I found the problem. I used Dreamweaver and I forgot to save my page encoding in UTF-8.

Now it work perfectly.

Thank you seymourjames for your help.

The file to which SJ is referring is the language/french.php file. This is a file that comes with 68 Classifieds, not a module

It seem that in my version, it is not defined at all.

What smarty.const.MAIL_RECIEPT_SUBJ it supposed to do?

It inserts the value of MAIL_RECIEPT_SUBJ that is defined in the language file you are using.

Blair, I think there may be some missing constants from the french.php. I can only say that about my version/release.

Hel68C - you do have your french.php language file set don't you? In other words it is set in your admin control panel.

So can I used it like this?

define in my language file

define ('MAIL_RECIEPT_SUBJ','Your listing is about to expire')

and used it in the template like that:

{$MAIL_RECIEPT_SUBJ}
