bullet

Hi,

i am using PowerCMS 2.00 and until now i did not have this problem;
if i paste a bullet or use in the editor menu the 'special character' and choose a bullet i get really weird results (se attachement)

Can anyone help me with this issue ?

is this the way it shows in the Power CMS Admin? or in the page you are outputting the PCMS content to?


if it is on the output pager, make sure the page is using the UTF-8 character set:
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />

it shows in the output; in the admin i can see the bulletsI

and yes, it is utf8

in the connections/PowerCMSConnection.php file, try changing:

$PowerCMSConnection = mysql_pconnect($hostname_PowerCMSConnection, $username_PowerCMSConnection, $password_PowerCMSConnection) or trigger_error(mysql_error(),E_USER_ERROR);

to:

$PowerCMSConnection = mysql_pconnect($hostname_PowerCMSConnection, $username_PowerCMSConnection, $password_PowerCMSConnection) or trigger_error(mysql_error(),E_USER_ERROR); 

mysql_set_charset('utf8',$PowerCMSConnection);

Jason, that did not solve the problem.

in Firefox i get the bullets but in al other browsers i don't

Peter

can you send a link where i can see the problem please.

sure: maaskurkvloeren.com/

i used dashes so far. The upper 4 items show the problem at the moment.
Thanks Jason, for your efforts.

at line 1 of the admin/contents_insert.php and contents_update.php pages, add the following code:

<?php

if($_SERVER["REQUEST_METHOD"] == "POST") {

    foreach($_POST as $key => $val) {

        $_POST[$key] = str_replace("•","&bull;",$val);

    }

}

?>

this will convert the bullet to the html entity, make sure to edit any content areas that use the bullet to have the content in the db updated.

Jason,

this solved the problem!
But why?? Is this a problem with PowerCMS?

Thanks a lot!

Peter

in the admin_cms/contents_insert.php page and the contents_update.php page, the following line:

$CKEditor_config["entities"] = false;

should be set to true:
$CKEditor_config["entities"] = true;
