CMS Made Simple Forums

Hi,
I am evaluating CMSMS. I live in Denmark and need to use the danish character set. If I choose "ISO-8859-1 - Latin 1/West European", text from tables in the mysql database ar presented correctly, but {sitename} and {title} ar not correct. If I choose "Default" or "UTF-8 Unicode", text from mysql database i not presented correct, but {sitename} and {title} ar correct.
I think, that CMSMS is great in other respects, and I will be happy to use it, but if I do not find a solution for the character set, I will have to drop it.

You have to set in config.php
Admin default is utf-8 so {sitename} and {title} will written with this encoding to database  .

Code: Select all

$config['default_encoding'] = 'ISO-8859-1';
$config['admin_encoding'] = 'ISO-8859-1';

Admin default is utf-8 so {sitename} and {title} will written with this encoding to database  .

Thanks for the above advice. I changed config.php and ensured, that my template was set to the above encoding, but it still does not work.

Have you cleared cache?

(You should do it after every change on config.php.)

And - important - you have to write title and sitename once again. If I'm right the values in db are currently encoded in utf-8 - please check it.

OK, that did the trick. Thank you very much.
