 Topic: HTML codes in subject title harms topic
Posted: 30 June 2006 at 11:21am |
This happens when a topic subject title is written in Arabic, and the following topic is one of them: http://www.iamiraqi.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=122
it can be fixed by editing the topic title and removing the html tags: /></td> </tr> <tr class=
The topic is located in the General Discussion section, you can distinguish it from the HTML tags on its subject title.
However this happens everyday and it messes up the forum.

I'm not sure quite what you are saying as Topic Subjects don't allow HTML to be used in them and any attempt to place HTML into a Topic Subject will be stripped.
If this is not the case in your forum I can only guess that either you have modified the code in someway, or you have a corrupted file.
Try reuploading the original files again and see if that solves the issue.

I have uploaded a fresh copy and called it forum-3, and connected it to database. I was able to view the topic, but when I set the forum encoding to use utf-8 that problem occures again. Editing the encoding to use utf-8 is the only chaneg i have made on this copy.

I can't actually see any issues in my browser.
But if you change halfway through to UTF-8 you will have problems.
I was planning on having UTF-8 as the default for web wiz forums in version 8, but for backward compatibility I couldn't as posts that where posted before the change to UTF-8 would not display correctly.

Was there an encoding file in version 7 of wwf? i mean would it be a problem for me to take off the browser endoing feature? maybe that way the encoding will be automatically defined by the user's own settings on their machine...

Encoding in version 7 was either not there or was iso-8859-1

Sorry to bump this older post but I have one question.
-boRg- you said that you did not use the utf-8 as default char encoding because of the old post compatibility. But - I am about to start my forum from scratch and If I set the utf-8 encoding NOW, before I start, I should not have this kind of issue yees?

Yes, if you are starting a new forum, it would be a good idea to start with utf-8 from the start
