Hello

Problem with special chars in News module titles, content and content in general.

Mainly these: ŋ, č and đ or: (if chars not showing here)

http://graphemica.com/%C5%8B
http://graphemica.com/%C4%8D
http://graphemica.com/%C4%91

I tried to use html code in title and content but on saving they turn to "?"

Any suggestions?

Regards

What's your page encoding?

Is there a set_names param inside your config.PHP? If yes which one?

Please post your News template.

Hello

On page template:

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />

****

in config.php:

$config['default_encoding'] = 'utf-8';
$config['admin_encoding'] = 'utf-8';
$config['set_names'] = true;

****

Template: News::Detail:

****
{* set a canonical variable that can be used in the head section if process_whole_template is false in the config.php *}
{if isset($entry->canonical)}
{assign var='canonical' value=$entry->canonical}
{/if}

{if $entry->postdate}
<div id="NewsPostDetailDate">
{$entry->postdate|cms_date_format}
</div>
{/if}
<h3 id="NewsPostDetailTitle">{$entry->title|escape:htmlall}</h3>

{if $entry->summary}
<div id="NewsPostDetailSummary">
<strong>
{eval var=$entry->summary}
</strong>
</div>
{/if}

****
