Hello,
I’m trying to set up my first CMS-administered website. I have been looking through various CMS frame works for the last couple of days and MODx looks excellent so far; big thanks for letting me toy around with it!
On to my problem: I am trying to deploy a Swedish web site. My database is set to use Collation utf-8_unicode_ci and the tables follow suit. I have also configured the MODx manager to use swedish UTF-8 to display its pages.
The problem is that data seems to be corrupted somewhere along the line. If I create a new document using the Manager UI, and use any swedish characters (åäö ÅÄÖ) in the Title or Long Title fields I get one of the following:
- The page displays ok for a visitor, but the Manager UI shows garbled characters for the item in the document listing
- The document looks OK in the Manager UI, but the page shows � where the swedish characters should be.
I’m pretty sure this is a database/MODx disagreement but I’m not sure what to change to make it work both ways. Any insight at all would be very appreciated.
I am using:
local installation of XAMPP lite, latest version with PHP 5.2.6 etc.
MODx version 0.9.6.2
