Problem with german characters - no fix yet?

Try this:

Replace htmlentities( ) with htmlspecialchars() in fckeditor.php (line ~44):

//$grstr = htmlentities( $this->Value ) ;
$grstr = htmlspecialchars( $this->Value ) ;

Ryan,

Have you confirmed this is an issue with fckeditor? I'm thinking it may be a Unicode issue, as we've had no trouble with Russian, Arabic, Chinese and Thai (and English ) with this editor. Never tried German, but every accented or special char corruption issue I've seen so far has been related to getting CF to properly work with Unicode.

The only I was able to fix my problem is to change the default caracter encoding of my Php-Apache Server...

I never seen any way to fix these problem

I hope we will find...

good luck

I think a found the a solution for this problem.

You have to change the file "fck_editor.js".

First of all insert the following function:

//AT 10/2004 replaces special characters
function replaceSpecialChars(text)
{
text = text.replace(//g, "Ä");
text = text.replace(//g, "ä");
text = text.replace(//g, "Ü");
text = text.replace(//g, "ü");
text = text.replace(//g, "Ö");
text = text.replace(//g, "ö");
text = text.replace(//g, "ß");
//any other characters.....
return text;
}


Than modify the function "switchEditMode" as follows:

Add the line "txtSource.value = replaceSpecialChars(txtSource.value) ; //AT 10/2004 - replaces special characters"

after the line "txtSource.value = objContent.DOM.body.innerHTML ;"

This will show the special charcters in the "html-style" (ü) in the edit mode


Now you have to replace the else condition at the function "setFieldValue":

The new condition looks like this:
else
{
//AT 10/2004 replaces special characters
var temp = replaceSpecialChars(objContent.DOM.body.innerHTML)
oLinkedField.value = temp;
//oLinkedField.value = objContent.DOM.body.innerHTML ;
}

Hope I found a good solution, maybe it's not a really tidy one, but it works.
