Charset issue

Hello,

I upgraded my MODx installation from 1.0.0-RC1 to 1.0.0 and it works like a charm.
But since the upgrade the manager shows special characters like ë in the wrong way (ë).
Whats even worse: I can’t use the characters anymore in a pagetitle.

When I use the title ’Oliën’ for a page and save it, the resulting title is ’Oli’.

I have set the language to ’Nederlands-utf8’ and the charset encoding to UTF-8.

Does anybody have an idea?

Can you confirm that the "TransAlias" plugin is enabled and that all if it’s files are there? (assets/plugins/transalias).
Could you copy/paste it’s "Plugin configuration" string here?

For example, mine looks like:

Hello netProphet,

The "TransAlias" plugin is enabled.
Also the folder "assets/plugins/transalias" folder is present with the following files:
- transalias.class.php
- /transliterations/common.php
- /transliterations/russion.php

Plugin configuration string:

Hmm.. the configuration settings are from a slightly older iteration, from one of the RCs I think.
I wonder if your plugin files themselves got upgraded.
In any case, I’ve just re-read your original post and I now I don’t think that the transliteration routine could be the problem.
I’ve just tested out the manager on my local server in Nederlands-utf8 with Unicode/utf-8 encoding settings, and am not experiencing the same problem. I successfully created a document with the title oaishvaosië123.
Did anything to do with your database change from RC-to-1.0? What database charset and collation do you have?

Thanks for looking into the problem

My database is using the utf8_general_ci collation.
I also checked the difference between database dumps before and after the upgrade, but found no schema differences.

I will try a clean install of 1.0 and see if the problem persists.

in case you’re using apache:
adding...

...to the .htaccess usually does the job for me.

I solved the problem. Of course it was obvious...

In 1.0 the language file Nederlands-utf8 was added (besides the normal Nederlands), so I changed the character encoding for the website on the configuration screen.
But the the language for the admin user (which I was using) was still on Nederlands. Because of that the manager pages where all server with the ISO-8859-1 encoding.

Thanks for taking the time to investigate and answer my question.

Awesome news Harro.
