Hello everybody,

On geeklog.fr $_CONF['default_charset'] is set to 'utf-8' in the siteconfig.php file. Everything is perfect with english_utf-8 language but if I choose french_france_utf8 as my user language, $_CONF['default_charset'] is then set to 'iso-8859-1' and there is issues with some accents (not all).

Why my siteconfig default charset is overwrite when I change language? :banghead:

So your french_france_utf-8.php declares iso-8859-1 as the character set? That can't be right. The version that ships with Geeklog properly sets it to UTF-8.

Did you check in phpadmin if your database is in UTF-8?

Changing it is very easy,,,

Hmm, not sure then what the problem could be. Certainly not the database.

Is that a standard Geeklog install or does it use the multi-site hack?

Ok I found it. Charset was overwrited by sitemap plugin english language file configuration.

Text Formatted Code
if (strpos(strtolower($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']), 'english.php') !== FALSE) {
        die('This file cannot be used on its own.');
}

$LANG_CHARSET = 'iso-8859-1';


Thanks.
