Answered How to convert Evo website from Latin9 to UTF8 ?

Hi,

I have an old website under Evolution 1.0.6 encoded in iso-8859-1 (latin9) and I need to convert it to utf8

I follow Bob's guide to do this, and it's nearly OK

The frontend is OK, but not inside the manager : all special characters (accents) on the ressources (titles, contents...) are converted with é codes.
The special characters on the manager interface are OK.

I have on Tools > Configuration > Characters encodage > UTF8
and on the /manager/include/config.inc.php I have set $database_connection_charset = 'utf8';

What did I forget ? [ed. note: Spheerys last edited this post 13 years, 10 months ago.]

On the source code of the Manager, I have in each iframe this code on the header :



All the database, the confing.inc.php, the "Tools > Configuration > Characters encodage" are set to utf8, and the manager stay on iso-8859-1 !!!

I have found an issue.
Not very clean, but it works :

• I have renamed /manager/includes/lang/francais.inc.php to /manager/includes/lang/francais.inc.php.old
• and finally renamed /manager/includes/lang/francais-utf8.inc.php to /manager/includes/lang/francais.inc.php

Now my website and the manager are on UTF8

I'm would like to reopen this topic because I discovered a big collateral problem since I had migrate my website from latin9 to utf8

Now, when I edit the content of a resource, I have problem with " and ' characters.
For example, I want to insert on the content area this code :

After saving, it transform the content like this :


And on the website, it doesn't work, of course !!!

Whorse : if I'm resaving the resource, have this :



Etc....

What could be wrong on my configuration ?

Thanks you BobRay, it was this !!
