First, i started to test my site with utf-8 as charset, therefore i did a testinstallation and checked what happens and I found some issue with the feed if in the title are intl. chars

thats my startingpoint:
Ravennuke 2.30.01 - charset utf-8
mysql Kollation & tables: utf8_general_ci
the mysql dump i converted via iconv

in the Article Title which is shown correct i have:

Quote:

Tepoztlán - Hauptstadt des Eis or José María Bocanegra: »1787- 1862«

in the DB it is saved as:

Quote:

Tepoztlán - Hauptstadt des Eis or José María Bocanegra: »1787- 1862«

the feed also shows

Quote:

Tepoztlán - Hauptstadt des Eis or José María Bocanegra: »1787- 1862«

i tested it with true & false for nf_CONVERTENCODING in the rnconfig

any hint what can be wrong?

The feed doesn't convert the data. The problem is storing the data. Not sure if your database support UTF-8 or if there is a problem storing it.

thanks for answer, but now i am confused or in other word how should it be stored in the Db...

MySQL charset: UTF-8 Unicode (utf8)
the table Collation & field Collation is utf8_general_ci

so i create a new article with the following in the title:

Quote:

Ö-Ä-Ü-ö-ä-ü-ß-é-á-í

and the Article is displayd fine, the sourcecode from the article is

Quote:

<td><div><font>Ö-Ä-Ü-ö-ä-ü-ß-é-á-í</font></div></td>

the intl. Chars are saved in the DB looks like:

Quote:

Ö-Ä-Ü-ö-ä-ü-ß-é-á-í

which sould be correct UTF-8 as far as i know, and thats now my point i have no idea whats wrong

the preview feed for Articles under /modules.php?name=Feeds&fid=1&type=HTML
shows the intl. chars wrong and in the source from the feed is:

Quote:

<div><a>Ö-Ä-Ü-ö-ä-ü-ß-é-á-í</a></div>

what else i can check to find out whats wrong on my testsite?

I misunderstood your first post. I thought the article did not display correctly. I am not sure how to resolve this, but I will check. When we tested this originally, Susann tested it for use with international characters, but I'm not sure if she was using UTF-8.

no problem, sometimes pictures shows more as I am able to describe

I already have my productiv site Only registered users can see links on this board! Get registered or login! with iso charset running without probs and valid with intl. chars, but on my testsite wich i like to have all under utf-8 for some reasons, i got the issue Only registered users can see links on this board! Get registered or login!.

so dont hurry i was just asking if that was a known issue / behavior and I will contact Susann maybe it would be got to be not alone with that...

It is almost as if the entity is being changed for an alternative entity. Normally with this sort of problem you see a ? or diamond.

Out of curiosity, what happens when you post a comment on the article?

the comment as well as the article looks fine with german Umlauts & Intl. Chars, see Only registered users can see links on this board! Get registered or login!

@guardian, you are right with the Question mark / Diamond thiss was happens on the first tests on many places like Survey & FAQ...


Brujo

one question, what would be a good and easy test / pice of code to see that content is saved correctly as UTF-8 in the DB and proberly displayed on the Browser to eleminate some parts of the chain.

Hello kguske & Guardian

i was playing around on my test site and disabled the line ~134 in the /includes/nukeSEO/nukefeed.php

Quote:

if ( function_exists('mb_convert_encoding') ) { // $title = mb_convert_encoding($title, 'UTF-8'); $desc = mb_convert_encoding($desc, 'UTF-8');

now the feed looks fine and is valid, maybe thats helps you a bit, because i didnt know why thats happens...

does this means that if a DB, collation ,tables and the content & charset is already in UTF-8 the mb_convert_encoding breaks it then?
