utf i18n override in an extention

Friday 10 February 2006 1:04:30 am

I'm bulding an extention where I need utf8 output in an xml file. its going to be used in a flash animation so I realuy don't have an alternative.

what I have atcheaved:
If I set i18n.ini.append.php to:

[CharacterSettings]
Charset=utf8

then the flash animation is perfect. The problem the is the site it self.

Its an non utf8 mysql. And I can't doo anything about it.

If I try loading

{let $classFilter = ezini( 'Classes', 'Charset', 'i18n.ini' )}

from the extention settings It dos not override the settings.

My question is:

Is this at all posible? Would you mind showing me how?

By the way, also tried to convert only the infected string into utf-8, with the utf_encode parameter (in template.ini)- but it seems this doesnt work either. I only get fatal error.

But, how does the existing RSS-module output UTF-8 through template code? Because I tried inserting special chars. into the feed - and load them into an .swf file with the xml-connector, and this actually worked as intended. The chars. where displayed as normal - but through the "regular" template-override system - it does not work! What to do?

Anyone please?

well I couldent set the databes to utf-8. but I got it to work.

in template.ini.appand.php I set this variable:

PHPOperatorList[to_utf8]=utf8_encode

and in the templates I set the spesific field to:

{$node.name|to_utf8}
