Some Swedish characters, å, ä, ö etc. doesn’t show in the JA Newsflash – if they are in the headline. They show when the site is just loaded, but now when the module is starting to rotate the news… Can this be fixed?

Can we get some help with this? The module is useless if it can’t show all the characrets in the alphabet… And the JA Newsflash in Iris doesn’t work at all, so then people advised to download this one instead. But if it doesn’t work, then there are even more templates that can’t be used as intended. I’ve tried to look at the files, but haven’t found a solution.

I’m having exactly the same problems as described by jkab. This time it’s the Danish characters. Has anyone figured out how to solve it? Otherwise the newsflash function is useless…

Ajax use UTF-8 for send/receive data, therefore it get problem with some charset. JA Newsflash support multilanguage by using iconv extension for php. If you enable iconv, the problem will be fixed.

I have the same problem with Danish characters.

iconv is enabled in PHP, but the news flash module shows squares in the title for æ,ø and å.
No problems in the content.

Could you write what you changed in the module, I don’t mind sort it myself….

You may find the following post helpful…it was all about strange character behaviour

READ THIS POST

It had something to do with placing code in the head of the template

<meta http-equiv=”Content-Type” content=”text/html; <?php echo _ISO; ?>” />

This line is already in the magia template…

The problem is only in the title of ja news flash, in the content of news flash and in the rest of the site there are no character problems.

Only in nf title…

Anyone???

Yes the problem is only with the title and not with the body.

I got this one sorted….

Find the following file:

/modules/ja_newsflash/ja-newsflashloader.php

In the top of the file find the following:


// Set flag that this is a parent file
header( "Expires: Mon, 26 Jul 1997 05:00:00 GMT" ); // disable IE caching
header( "Last-Modified: " . gmdate( "D, d M Y H:i:s" ) . " GMT" );
header( "Cache-Control: no-cache, must-revalidate" );
header( "Pragma: no-cache" );

Add another line with the charset that match your language so it looks like this:


// Set flag that this is a parent file
header('Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1');
header( "Expires: Mon, 26 Jul 1997 05:00:00 GMT" ); // disable IE caching
header( "Last-Modified: " . gmdate( "D, d M Y H:i:s" ) . " GMT" );
header( "Cache-Control: no-cache, must-revalidate" );
header( "Pragma: no-cache" );

This made it work on my Danish site.

Hello

i’ve just installed JA Mageia in a local website. the ja newsflash module does not show umlaute (german language) right. What can i do?
I’ve checked iconv setting and tried to apply the solution above, but in the 1.5 version i could not find the mentioned lines of code.

Greetings, roland :confused:
