ODP: [opencms-dev] Solution for problem with national characters i n properties (eg. navtext)

Sun Feb 29 13:32:01 CET 2004

Probably it depends also on version of Internet Explorer (how does it send
data using get method). 

Could you look inside of source code of navtext editor if there is form
method=post?

Hi all,

I have actually installed opencms 5.1 in a linux machine with greek encoding
and all opencms properties are working fine without changing any template.
It works either using utf-8 or iso...7

Hello,

I had big trouble with national characters in navtext (in polish and russian
language). I used UTF-8 default encoding, but nothing helps. 

I've found a bug and its solution.

Let's see what we have inside of template which is used for edition of
navtext, which is placed in file: /system/workplace/templates/chnav

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<WORKPLACE>
<TEMPLATE>
<![CDATA[
<html>
<head>
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Type" CONTENT="text/html; charset=]]><METHOD
name="getEncoding"/><![CDATA[">
<link rel=stylesheet type="text/css" href="]]><method
name="resourcesUri">format.css</method><![CDATA[">
</head>
<body>
<form name="navigation" >
    <table border=2 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0 width=430px align=center>
        <tr>
            <td>

We have here tag <FORM> without method atribute, what means: send data with
method GET. Web browser urlencodes data from form and if it is in UTF-8,
changes them! Solution is simple. Insert into tag <FORM> attribute
method=post.

Corrected tag looks like this:

<form name="navigation" method=post>
Now it is enough to correct it in all places where this problem appears and
all troubles dissapear.
