Problem with accents in a specific template
Posted: Tue Sep 28, 2010 3:48 pm
Hi all,
Having a problem with a specific template, I got it from template monster.com
My accents are not showing in the module names( ex. latest news) and in the top menu and in article names... but the content of the articles are fine... all accents showing
Now ive been trying everything around the web, from re-making my database, (yes its utf8_general_ci)
Joomfish is installed. and working perfectly (for article content anyways)
Now for the hell of it, i did some test, like in the the "Latest News" I renamed it, "Actualités"...
It shows up as " Actualis " skipping the é caracter completely... now if I switch over to Bees or the joomla default... all the accents ARE SHOWING !
So its obviously template related...!
I tried adding define iso bla bla... seemed to only give me errors and the page did not load... know since its only template bases, hell there must be only a handfull of files... theres got to be a way to fix this..
Also downloaded textwrrangler for mac... opened each adn every file, they are all utf8. no BOM...
I give up ! any ideas?
Willing to trade the template for the fix... this might not be in the norms but hell template monster did not want to help their customer so ...
thanks
