New problems! Very Happy

Now when I send a Newsletter it wont show persian in right way!

here is an example:

Quote:

I've totaly removed both files and sql and reinstalled it but didn't help!

The email is utf-8 and it should show the letters right!

what could be wrong?

Regards.

Please compare the version of templates/Fancy_Content/template.php between the Persian download and the one you are testing with. Check the lines where $emailfile is being defined down towards the bottom (I would post the code here, but NukeSentinel is not letting me... Crying or Very sad

), is there a meta tag which has the charset=utf-8 on it?

You or your friend had modified it to be UTF-8, had you accidentally replaced that with my 01.03.01 version?

Thanks for reply!

I checked it and it was utf-8. The strange thing is when I send newletter by email it doesn't sent any template with it!! but when I preview it on site it show the template and the text is OK.

I have tested with all of templates and it wont send template to email.

I will send you a newletter in Persian with Plane Gray now so you see it by yourself!

I may have found it.

Yes! that was it! Very Happy

I don't know why it was changed and how??? After patch 3.2 it began to give me problem. Even when I downloaded new files from here and installed again the problem wasn't gone!

Soon I will download persian ver. from here and install it on my test site and make a good look at it. I maybee have forgot to make some changes like this one in functions.php. Strange is it works for all other but me Embarassed

Thanks Montego again!

I checked the Persian download already and it was not changed. I will either post a "Sticky" or make this thread a sticky to help others with this.

Thanks!

I maybee have exchanged the downloaded files from here with those I allready have on my computer. Wink

Sorry, what I meant to say is that the Persian Nuke version does not have utf-8 in functions.php. I will not be posting a new download, but have included a new enhancement idea to make this configurable.

Thanks for the reminder! I have not added the Greek translation to my downloads here. It is in the RavenNuke(tm) 2.10.00 distro. PM me your email address and I'll send you what I have for the greek language files for you to review. Thanks!

M, I'm just thinking out loud here but...
Isn't the charset defined in one of the core language files (like the date format string)?
If it was, then it might be easy to automate this by checking the site language preference?

Site Admin/Owner Joined: Feb 12, 2005 Posts: 857

Well, been thinking about it and I need to do more research on this. For a single language site, you might be right, but what about someone who is supporting say both Persian and English?

What I really haven't even addresses yet, but probably should, is the whole multilingual issue.

Yes, I had thought about the multilingual aspect but I suspect there might have to be a compromise somewhere down the line.
It's possible to retrieve user prefs and send the newsletter with the appropriate charset but then what happens regarding the newsletter thats available on-site? It would be impractical to have one newsletter per charset (which I think you would have to do to remain XHTML compliant as it can throw a wobbly with different charsets).
As you say, more research is needed and it just goes to show that even when something seems simple, very often it isnt when you start digging.
Good luck! Smile
