Hi
 
I have an old version of WebWix 7.6. I have upgraded to the latest version, Now I have a problem with the special characters å, ä, ö (Swedish). The characters in the forum look very funny.
 
I have the old forum still running in another place on my server. The old forum works perfectly but when I moved the files to another place and upgraded it messed up the characters.
 
Could it be the FTP software that messed it up? I changed the FTP software so that it makes the transfer in utf-8 but still I have a problem.
 
 
Please check the strange characters in the new forum
 
Any idea what to do?
 
Henry

I was unable to loom at both your forums but it sounds like an encoding issue.

You need to open in a text editor the file includes/setup_options_inc.asp and change the page encoding near the bottom of the file to one that works with your character set.

I am right now transferring the files from the server to my laptop and back again to another space at the server. I will try to update again from my PC and a software for PC. The last time I did it from my MAC and maybe some communication problems occured.... I dont lnow.

If I get it to work...I will tell you otherwise I will try the thing you wrote above...Thanks anyway.

The problem you have is a common issue and the reply I gave before WILL fix the issue for you.

Hmm...I really dont know what to change in the code.

'Unicode UTF-8
Const strPageEncoding = "utf-8"

'Western European ISO
'Const strPageEncoding = "iso-8859-1"

I am located in Sweden and both of these codes are in that file. What should I change?

Change these two lines to the following:-

'Unicode UTF-8
'Const strPageEncoding = "utf-8"

'Western European ISO
Const strPageEncoding = "iso-8859-1"


That will change it to the ISO-8859-1 page encoding which should work with Sweedish as I beleive other Sweedish sites use this page encoding.
