Help needed: Scandinavian letters disappear! *RESOLVED!*
-
-
Why is it, that when I try to use Å, Ä & Ö letters on my Joomla / Mambo sites, they always disappear?
Is this a problem with the server or with joomla? How can I fix it?
Best Regards,

Moi Mikael.
If you look at Site language.
This image is hidden for guests.
Please log in or register to see it.
Here i have both in the Swedish and English language file:
/** templates/*.php */
DEFINE('_ISO','charset=iso-8859-1');
Edit: do you have an URL to one of the sites that dont work?

Terve Jukka!
I have set the language manager/site languages to "swedish" in Joomla. The ISO definition already seems to be included in both english.php and swedish.php that I'm currently using.
Is there something I'm not getting?

I read somewhere else that a change in the admin template also could make some problems with the ISO settings.
Could you post or pm me one link to some of you sites, so i maybe could see what it looks like.

Update:
In the body text the scandinavian letters work just fine, but when I try creating a menu with the name "Länkar" it is displayed as "L?nkar" on both the frontend and in the menu manager. What is causing this and how can I fix it?

Hi again.
I searched the web and found:
forum.joomla.org/index.php/topic,125589.0.html
Maybe this could help fixing the problem.
Edit: But maybe not because you can get the Chars correct in the body text..

The solution (BIG thanks to Jukka Lamminluoto from Sweden!):
On line 103 in includes/database.php one important part was missing. Btw. others have experienced this same problem with v.1.12...
The problem was resolved by adding the following on line 103:
@mysql_query("SET NAMES 'latin1' COLLATE 'latin1_swedish_ci'", $this->_resource);
where 'latin1' and 'latin1_swedish_ci' should be substituted for the actual charset used by your server. This information can be easily found through PhpMyAdmin => click on jos_menu and check the values.
Enjoy the new year!
