Å Ä Ö

[Anonymous]

I really like Pixelpost, but i have onte question. Why doesn't Å Ä Ö show up in the Image description / text on the blog? I get Ã¥ ä ö instead, my blog is in Swedish so I would like Å Ä Ö...

Hard to tell since it doesn't show up on this forum either!

This is a question of special characters, the character-encoding which is set up in the templates and the way the data is entered in the database


this topic is known, I have problems with german umlauts as well, but the next release will take care of it, Punk promised it! :P

Hello (Hej..)..

I solved the issue by changing some lines in the function clean(). in admin/index.php

I dont know if i've removed som importatn functionallity by doing it this way, but it works fine for me!

I changed the function to:

function clean($string) {
  $string = htmlspecialchars($string);
   //$string = utf8_encode($string);
  $string = addslashes($string);
  return $string;
}

And then i changed the line in markdown.php that sais

$md_empty_element_suffix = " />";     # Change to ">" for HTML output

to:

$md_empty_element_suffix = " >";     # Change to ">" for HTML output

It's nothing i recommend someone without some php knowledge to to, because i just fixed it out of pure irritation, and probably was there some point of that function being written the way it was from the start!

Oh i forgot, i,ve changed one more line :-)

$body = utf8_decode(stripslashes($imagerow['body']));

became:

$body = stripslashes($imagerow['body']);

as you can see, i just took away a function there again! :-)
