Problem with accented characters

[Arnaud]

Hi,

I have a problem with accented characters with "latest articles" plugin. They're all replaced by a symbol. Even if I build my own XML file with a forced charset (ISO-8859-1 or UTF-8).

Could you help me in correcting this issue, please ?

Thank you for your help

Arnaud

PS : my template is set with ISo 8859

AJAX only supports UTF-8 so there could be problems if you have different encoding on your site.

[Arnaud]

When i force the template in UTF-8 i still have the problem.

And all of your plugins are defined with ISO-8859-1 encoding option...

I've been searching an answer for this problem. To use iso-8859-1 encoding format, we need to force it in mod_ajaxlisting.php with :

Code:

header("Content-Type:text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1");

As this file is encrypted, i cannot try this modification...

Hi Saka,

I've totally rebuild from scrach a new website with this configuration :
- database charset set to UTF-8 by default
- joomla 1.013 french edition with charset defined with UTF-8
- default joomla template and only your Ajax Listing module installed.

Conclusion : i still have accents problems ! Look at the screen attached

Could you provide a fix to this issue, please ?

thx

Emir,

The problem with accented chars make IE not loading the plugin (XML and PHP version).

No problem with Firefox 2 and Opera 9.26 (Windows version). Not tested with Conqueror...

[Arnaud]

SOLVED !!!! 

I've found how to fix the accented chars issue (in a PHP plugin) :

Just replace :

Code:

return $content;

by :

Code:

return mb_convert_encoding($content, "UTF-8", "ISO-8859-1");

Enjoy

That's great, saves me a lot of testing.

Thanks!

You're welcome Emir

Now you can work hardly on multiple Ajax Listing instance   

[Saka]

Yeah, I have an idea how to solve that.

[Arnaud]

Ahhhh ! What a wonderfull answer

Emir,

I have developped my own PHP plugin to show my latest news. I'm currently searching a way to add some informations at the top of the module : links for live filter options (news categories).

When I insert a link (for example) or just a word, my plugin result is not shown (loading...).

Could you please tell me :

1) how can i add other informations than table result in my plugin ?
2) how can i set a variable (category name or id) or something else to apply the selected filter (link).

Thank you for your help
