Control panel with utf-8 charset problem

ttnb · February 16th, 2006, 06:09 AM

Hi

I am using Vietnamese (charset utf-8) with photopost pro and have problem in admin control panel:

Firt all the text name of category in control panel is broken. And then I searched and found this:

Arabic language prob in admin cp

And I tried change the charset in language file and then edit the adm-inc.php as the following:

comment the two lines:

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

Change the line 270 in to

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

(I am using english.php file but just changed it charset to word with vietnamese)

And then I seem ok when o go to the "edit categories" in the control panel. However, when I click one category to edit. Its name is broken again as the attachment.

Can anyone tell me how to fix this problem?

Thanks

Try commenting out the htmlentities for catname in adm-misc.php

Thanks for your help. Do you mean this line?

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

I tried it but nothing changes.

I have one more question: The charset in my ppc is still ISO (not utf-8) as I want. How i make it automatic encode utf-8?

Thanks

Okay your hosting in the photopost pro section. You need to make similar changes you made in Photopost to classifieds for the $charset

I am referring to this line in adm-misc.php

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

Thanks Chuck,

I did not find

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

In adm-misc.php.

Do you misunderstand me? I am talking about photopost pro not classifieds.

Can you take a look again!

Thanks

I found it in the adm-cats.php in lines 374 already! I can read vietnamese when I edite category now.

However I still do not know where to change the charset for amin control panel
Thanks

That is changed in adm-inc.php in both products.

Yes always good to open posts on each product accordingly so you can get the response you want

I am using photopost pro and I think this box is not for calassifieds.

Could you tell me what line I should edit in adm-inc.php to make the admin control panel have utf-8 charset?

Thanks

well this is the question you asked

Is there some shorthand I am not understanding that means photopost classifieds

Anyway your first post already states how to use uft8 and the changes needed. You change the contentmeta

Control panel with utf-8 charset problem

Oh, sorry for making you confused!

I did as in the thread you qouted and the languages can be viewed correctly but when I look at the encoding, it still does not automatically charset in to utf-8. Please look at my attachment(sorry I am using Japanese Windows but I think you can recognize).

I just want to figure out why it is not charsetted in to utf-8.

Thanks

Okay well thats not going to control anything what you set in a browser. The admin control panel is english and only english. All the entries are in a database

Your encoding in your browser may effect your browser but its not going to affect a program on the webserver.

Better to use this:

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

You may also want to set
$subcatname = htmlentities($subcatname, ENT_QUOTES,'utf-8');

in adm-inc.php

If you want to change charset in admincp, search and replace iso-08859-1 by utf-8

in adm-inc.php, adm-index.php, adm-users.php

adding ,ENT_COMPAT,"UTF-8") after $subcatname seems to work fine, for example:

$subcatname = htmlentities($subcatname,ENT_COMPAT,"UTF-8");

Russian with utf-8 works fine for me after some patching

1)
// patch
mysql_query('SET NAMES utf8');

.... insert this after each mysql_connect
in pp-inc.php

2) correct htmlentities as decribed above in all files
