Menu Text, Title, & Breadcrumbs characters not rendering out using iso-8859-1

[joecannes]

Hi all,

I moved this from to the developer discussion, I have just installed CMSMS 1.5.2, and when I create a page, my menu text, title, and breadcrumbs do not render out the HTML characters when I view the source code, using iso-8859-1 as my character set.

For example, when I view the source of my page, the word Montréal renders out as:

Code: Select all

Montréal

when it should be:

Code: Select all

Montréal

I have done the following:

1. Updated my config file by changing the default coding to iso-8859-1:

Code: Select all

$config['default_encoding'] = 'iso-8859-1';

2.  Under Site Admin > Global Settings, I have changed the Global Metadata to the following:

Code: Select all

<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"/>

3. Under Extensions > TinyMCE > Advanced tab, I changed Encoding of entities to "Named encoding" (which renders out fine when I put in the word "Montréal" )

Any suggestions on how to get this working, or if anyone ran into the same problems? Personally, I dont mind using UTF-8, but government of Canada site regulations want me to use iso-8859-1.

FYI, I can use numeric characters as well, does not have to be named characters:

Thanks,

é is correct and even better.
