Wrong Encoding for Links to Articles (Revo 2.0.3 & TinyMCE 4.1.0 rc1)

Hi folks,

with Revo 2.0.3 and TinyMCE 4.1.0 rc1 the linking to other aticles using the chain-icon produces a none working link:

[tt]<a _mce_href="[[~6]]" href="[[%7E6]]">CLICK</a>[/tt]

It should be:
[tt]<a _mce_href="[[~6]]" href="[[~6]]">CLICK</a>[/tt]

My DB uses utf8. Could that be a problem (which I cannout solve because it has to be in utf8)?

Anybody any hints?

hans, look at your DB in PhpMyAdmin and make sure the actual tables and fields are in utf8 (especially the modx_site_content table). It often happens that they are not.

If so, you are a good candidate to test this tool: http://bobsguides.com/convert-db-utf8.html

Hi BobRay,

thanks for the reply. Unfortunately, ALL tables are "MyISAM" in "utf8_general_ci", so the "modx_site_content" is too.

I manualy changed the "%7E" into "~" with PhpMyAdmin, but when TinyMCE opens the resource, every "~" is back to "%7E". But only inside the "href"-tag, "_mce_href" stays unaltered, so this does not seem to be a charset problem.

I also turned of all those little TinyMCE helpers, that only messed up my code (e.g. "preformatted" always distorted the layout when switching between RTF- und HTML-view) but there seems to be one tiny (invisible?) bastard left who’s messing things up. Even with "entity_encoding" turned to "raw" TinyMCE changes the "href"-tag when the resources is OPENED! With "cleanup_on_startup" set to false! Unbelievable! I realy go crazy about that!

Please, I am begging you folks out there, anybody with an idea???

thanks
hans

By the way: My problem only exists with Firefox (now 3.6.10) on Mac & PC. With Safari, Chromium and Opera everythings is just fine.

You’re right, it’s definitely not a charset problem. I don’t even have TinyMCE installed on any of my 2.0.4 builds so I’m not much help on that.

The fact that it’s just FF, though suggests either a JS issue or a browser cache issue. I half-remember some posts about FF not clearing it’s cache properly. There’s really handy PC program called ATF-Cleaner here: http://www.atribune.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=25&Itemid=25
it has a separate tab for clearing the FF cache/cookies. It does work on Vista but I’m not sure about Windows 7. It’s worth having even if it doesn’t solve this problem.
