It is likely that your site is using iso-8859-1 while this site is using iso-8859-15 which supports the euro symbol. You can change your character set by modifying your site.ini, i18n.ini and template.ini - I believe that is all of them. Alternately you can keep your current character set and create custom tags for each symbol you need to support: http://ez.no/developer/ez_publish_3/documentation/customization/components/datatypes/ezxmltext/custom_tags Hope this helps, Alex Alex [ bald_technologist on the IRC channel (irc.freenode.net): #eZpublish ] <i>When in doubt, clear the cache.</i>
Mark Irvine	Friday 07 May 2004 6:39:32 am Hi, I'm having problems with the euro symbol also. When I use the OE it replaces the euor with a question mark... I've updated site.ini, i18n.ini, and template.ini, but still getting question marks... any more ideas? (using ezpublish v3.3-4 on linux, updating pages through OE on win2k) [james@web settings]$ grep "Charset" *.ini i18n.ini:# Charset defines the internal charset for the site, i18n.ini:# Set HTTPCharset to something if you know that the internal charset is not i18n.ini:Charset=iso-8859-15 i18n.ini:HTTPCharset= site.ini:Charset=iso-8859-15 site.ini:ContentXMLCharset=enabled site.ini:# is converted to OutputCharset before being sent. site.ini:AllowedCharsets[] site.ini:AllowedCharsets[]=us-ascii site.ini:AllowedCharsets[]=utf-8 site.ini:AllowedCharsets[]=iso-8859-1 site.ini:AllowedCharsets[]=iso-8859-15 site.ini:AllowedCharsets[]=cp1252 site.ini:OutputCharset=utf-8 template.ini:[CharsetSettings] template.ini:DefaultTemplateCharset=iso-8859-15 Thanks, Mark
Mark Irvine	Friday 07 May 2004 6:56:26 am How will my locale setting affect this? In site.ini I see: [RegionalSettings] # The primary language for your site Locale=eng-GB If I look in share/locale, I see: [james@web locale]$ ls en* eng-CA.ini [email protected] eng-GB.ini eng-US.ini Now the eng-GB.ini shows: [Charset] # The preferred charset Preferred=iso-8859-1 And the [email protected] shows: [james@web locale]$ more [email protected] #?ini charset="iso-8859-15"? [RegionalSettings] LanguageComment=Euro support [Charset] Preferred=iso-8859-15 [Currency] Symbol=¤ Name=Euro ShortName=EUR So what does all this mean? Do I need to alter my locale settings to display the euro character? How do I do that? (update site.ini? anything else?) Thanks, Mark
