Using: V4.1.6 Designer with deepsea template

The letter ï¿½, ï¿½ and ï¿½ is not displayed correctly. I followed the guide here UTF-8 - 68 Classifieds but was not able to include the code in the mysql.php file. I got an Fatal error on my page when including the code. Exactly where shall I put this code? $this->query("set names utf8");

Thanks!

Are you running the designer or developer edition?

jonten123 · 01-01-2010, 02:12 PM

Hi,

Iï¿½m using the designer version! Itï¿½s the language file Iï¿½m having problem with. ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ works fine for the locations I added in the acp!

**Eric Barnes** · 01-01-2010, 02:55 PM

I have seen this before. The easiest fix is to be sure you are saving the language file in UTF-8 format from your text editor. I know textmate has this option and others. So you may want to refer to the user guide of the editor.

Also you can use the html entities for those characters:

Code:

ï¿½ = Å
ï¿½ = Ä
ï¿½ = Ö

I saved the file through a texteditor in the UTF-8 format and now it displays as it should!

Thank you!

Hi,

I have a sort order problem with the characters ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ in my categories and my locations. Locations and categories that begins with ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ ends up in the wrong place. I have edited class_categories and class_states in phpmyadmin so it uses utf8_swedish_ci but it did not help. How can I solve this?

Thanks!

I am sorry but you may need to elaborate more. What do you mean by they end up the wrong locations?

jonten123 · 01-03-2010, 05:09 PM

Ok!

The letters ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ comes after z in the swedish alphabet. So its xyzï¿½ï¿½ï¿½. But for my locations and categories they donï¿½t. Locations that starts with ï¿½ and ï¿½ ends up between locations that starts with a and b for example. They should end up last. Same for categories..

Why not use the 68C admin control panel to weight your categories. There is a box provided. You can then make them appear in any order you wish. Click on the little i to see how it works.

Oh, I did not know that. That fixes my categories, but the locations still looks a little messed up..
