Extra Field #3 missing character

Geiri · February 9th, 2009, 04:56 AM

I have been seting up my classifieds using for some ads the Extra Field option

If I use this in Extra Field #3

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

The last character allways get lost in the update.
and the word shows like this

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

If the word ends with this lettar it, it gets lost

Do you have an example?

test - PhotoPost Classifieds

I did a quick test and looks good.

Try and go into your category again.
then update and take a look again.

Mótorhjóli - Geirinn.is - Auglýsingar

I think it only hapens if you open the category in admin again??

Nope same thing views fine for me. Make sure your using the default current code.

If anything I show your extra 1 and extra 2 are missing the final character in your example.

What do you mean by current code?
My english is not that strong

Are you using the latest downloaded code from the members area?

Geiri · February 9th, 2009, 12:05 PM

I am using Current Version 3.04
Have there been any updates to the code?

Chuck S · February 9th, 2009, 12:12 PM

My suggestion is to ensure your using the latest templates what exactly is missing? I am not really seeing anything missing in your example.

Geiri · February 9th, 2009, 12:32 PM

I am upgrading to current code

Then I will test and report if problem Persists.

Chuck S · February 9th, 2009, 12:38 PM

Not a problem your example does not even show what your trying to convey here which is why I am asking what the exact issue is.

Your trying to say the end > is missing off the bold tag your inputting into the extra field but the actual example shows it is not.

when upgrading make sure to not overwrite your config files as I see you have done that. replace original config files or edit the new ones and place the proper info for your site.

Hi, Chuck

Sorry, I will try to show you with this screenshots

First is a scree of admin category
As you see I have filed in all the fields and saved the setup.

Second screen is of admin category
I click edit and you see how the letters ð go missing

Third screen is showproduct.php after I save with missing letters
you see there how Extrafield1 looks.

This has somthing to do with going in and out of category in admin.

I still dont see anything wrong but alas the current downloaded code which I showed shows the actual character listed so did you upload all new files. Could be a language database issue.

Geiri · February 9th, 2009, 06:27 PM

test - PhotoPost Classifieds

but your page is missing the ð at the end???

Chuck S · February 9th, 2009, 08:47 PM

well what language are you using?

I can verify my database has it loaded with that character in the actual categories extra3 field but you know my site is in english and most likely it has to do with not being able to display that character.

test - PhotoPost Classifieds

I change my charset to UTF-8 and it displays so this all has to do with you properly loading a charset to display those characters.

Geiri · February 10th, 2009, 05:29 AM

My site is in Icelandic

Icelandic (is) iso-8859-1, windows-1252

i18n: languages, countries and character sets

http://www.utoronto.ca/webdocs/HTMLd...iso_table.html

This is the fix

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

Chuck S · February 10th, 2009, 08:24 AM

The fix would be to change your iso-8859-1 to UTF-8 for the charset

iso-8859-1 is basically english

windows-1252 is what they use for like russian and arabic etc

the windows 1252 would probally work but as noted changing my charset to UTF-8 SOLVES ANYTHING AND DISPLAYS ANYTHING.

Geiri · February 10th, 2009, 11:25 AM

I tried utf-8 uff the site was unreadable

Maby becouse the db is in iso-8859-1?

Chuck S · February 10th, 2009, 11:41 AM

I guess it all depends we dont have an icelandic language etc so I am just stating from the english perspective what I did to make it show. utf-8 should make everything show across most languages
