Hi!
I have found out, that uploading files with containing socalled "umlaute" in the filename produces an error with some kind of a "romanize-function".
Is that a known issue, or can I use the ö, ä, ü, ß in filenames somehow?
Thanks!
The issue is with your database...check it and all the tables and columns using PHPMyAdmin and if they are Latin1 change them to utf8.
That was it! Thanks, Vaska!
Hi, is this also causing the problem with symbols such as & in section titles?
Hmmm...I think an & would work in a section title. It's not working for you?
I have the same problem with Umlaute (ü, ä, ö) and Symbols (&,…,–).
Actually, it doesn't seem to be a DB problem (it is set on UTF-8). I can see Umlaute and Symbols when editing my site, but those characters are not displayed in the front end.
Any suggestions anyone? Thanks a lot!
Read the above posts...that's the problem. Have you checked every table and every column?
Of course, I have read the above posts. And yes, I have checked every table and every column.
Since I can see those symbols and umlauts in the editing part of the site, I guessed it's not a DB prob. The problem arises only in the front end.
Any other suggestions? Thanks a lot.
You've taken them all off of your site so we can't see them in action...or non-action...
back they are!

They work for me.
okey, funny enough, they do on safari. but not on firefox! at least not on my firefox and the one of another ten people I've asked. so, excuse my stupidity, what's the problem? I got Firefox 3.0.1.
check the encoding in FF. is it defaulted to something other than utf8?
i've seen a few random issues with FF 3.0.1 already...doesn't make me happy either.
What I believe is happening...you have somewhere inserted characters into the code (perhaps in the template) that seems to be messing up the declarations at the top of the page. These characters appear before anything...
Fix that...and I bet it works again in FF. Safari is obviously simply ignoring them.
the default encoding is in fact not UTF8 (but Western ISO). so I've changed it to UTF8. but didn't solve the problem! hmmm…
Hi Coppola,
looks like you solved it! Your site looks right on my IE and FF. How have you done it?
He fixed what I told him to fix...and he never said thanks either.
maybe that's your problem: http://www.activecollab.com/forums/topic/666/
sometimes the webserver submits the wrong charset in the http-headers and then the http header get's ignored!
These were actually two completely different problems.
