Bad characters with accents in months
Hi !
I've some problems with french accents on months names.
Since hours, i try to find where these months are translated into the cumulus folder (ini, strings,..) but.. no solution.
My problem is that some months with accents like août, février, décembre presents bad characters.
My site use utf-8 charset.
The pages provided by cumulus presents good characters, but when i put these into my template with UTF-8 charset, accents are repaced with � or ⟢ like ao�t or ao⟢t
.
To get accents to these pages, i must use html acents style like é for é or ç for ç chars.
Also, i try to save all my templates with utf-8 sans bom (no BOM) chars but, the pages provided by Cumulus are in the AINSI mode !
I try too to change the META charset to iso-8859-1 or windows-1252.. No solution.
One page with the problem : http://www.7331.be/meteo/annee.php
If i change my Browser preferences to the iso-8859-1 chars mode, these accents are displayed, but my pages are wrong with accents...
So, how to make a change into cumulus to :
- get html pages into the utf-8 norm (without BOM)
or
- change the accents to these months
?
Thx !

Re: Bad characters with accents in months
I changed my settings to French, and generated the standard web pages. I get the accented characters:
So I'm afraid I don't know why it doesn't work on your pages.

Re: Bad characters with accents in months
Never has these problems with another sites.
The problem is these html pages are in AINSI mode, not UTF-8 ... the coding of my php and html templates.
If i change my browser settings to iso-8859-1, i can get these accents, but other accents into this page are bad...
To get this page, i include the year.htm (AINSI) page into the php template.. wich is in utf-8.
So, with normal settings : And with iso-8859 or another setting...

Re: Bad characters with accents in months
Try changing your browser into automatically detecting the encoding then, or save the HTML file with the required encoding.

Re: Bad characters with accents in months
HTML file (yearT.htm) is into the utf-8 setting. File year.htm provided by Cumulus is AINSI iso-8859 format Can't find why these settings changes.
My browser is on automatic detection.
So, i have a solution : i'll create a script wich send every night the Monthly and Yearly informations into my database from a CSV file created with the webtags of cumulus..

Re: Bad characters with accents in months
Indeed, I can confirm that the Cumulus processed templates are in the DOS/Window encoding format (a variation of ANSI) - so far, I have not been able to directly use the HTM templates within a UTF-8 script/template without prior conversion to UTF-8 format (using the PHP 'iconv' function to performs character set conversion on a string or a file).
May I recommend that, instead of using the Cumulus produced HTM templates that you use the Cumulus produced Webtags and integrate them into your phpBB - this way, you can use some PHP code to properly translate to french.

I'll use the cumuluswebtags.php but, another question : This file is displaying english tags... like "at 13:33 on 24 septembre 2012". Past weeks, i find a topic wich explains how to make these words in french.. but, i can't find it !
How to make a good translation for "at" and "on" , in french : "à" , "le"

Re: Bad characters with accents in months
Yes ! Thx !
Everything is OK now !
Just a note,
The cumulusbebtags.php file is saved into UTF-8 format file into my web folder.. but once it has been processed by Cumulus, the file into my server is.. in DOS/windows format.
I need to use utf8_decode() function to get accents.
Thx everyone !Have a nice day

Re: Bad characters with accents in months
Just to add that Cumulus can't create files in UTF-8 format because the system routines I use to create the files don't allow it. It doesn't matter what format your template is in, the processed file is not related to the template file, it's a new file created from the contents of the template and the processed web tags. Cumulus doesn't 'edit' the template to produce the output file.
As I understand it we are all supposed to be moving towards UTF-8 for web pages, so this is something I will have to address at some point.

Re: Bad characters with accents in months
Hi OliII,
If you need it, I've done the job on latest templates.
You could download newest 1.9.3 webtags file alone, on this link:
http://www.weatherbyyou.com/dl.php
It include an "International" version where all strings and dates are encoded
with utf8_encode. Also, It provide a way to "standardize" date format
where you change in one place on, at, to... with your own words (le, à, au??)
Finally, an other file is included for month by month Data/Time standards
All those files are for PHP websites.
Amicalement,
JacquesD
