Rui, oxle is now reverted back to as it was yesterday ;
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
The characters I tried to support were some Turkish characters.
Switching to Windows-1254 as characterset therefor solved my problem, at least, now the site supported the Turkish characterset. I also checked. However, that characterset does not suffice for my needs, as I want to support a wider characterset.
Regarding your PS ; the characters were inputted via a Turkish keyboard by 2 of my members who're on holiday there.
They needed the normal i, but as the Turkish keyboards have the dotless i by default, they unintentionally got that one.
And thát one got converted to #305;. |

Okay, I guess I have to read up on 'codepage values'. I've got no clue on what it is, so I guess it's time to Google  |

Wow!!!! This is brilliant!!!
I've just added these two lines to config.asp, and changed the HTML characterset to UTF-8.
Response.CodePage = 65001
Response.CharSet = "utf-8"
Presto! The result is amazing! Mixed arabic, turkish russian and latin in a single topic! |

I told you  . You will need to save your .asp files in utf-8 format too.
 err...what do you mean with that ? Can I no longer just click the 'save' button in Crimson Editor before uploading the file via FTP ? |

No weird characters in your pages HTML (not speaking of Db stored contents)? If not, then you're ok.
Anyway, all it takes is to choose UTF-8 as the saved format for the pages. If you use only "regular" chars, the need to use utf-8 will not be noticeable. |

Just what I was looking for, so all it takes is adding these two lines to config.asp
Response.CodePage = 65001
Response.CharSet = "utf-8"

Depending on what you are doing with Snitz forums unicoded. Changing Codepage and Charset in config.asp enables the base forums to handle unicode charsets - 6501 is for server codepage support and utf-8 is client side encoding support.
If you are creating a base Snitz forums with unicode to handle multilingual contents - whatever languages - but with Western European languages (a la ISO Latin 1 group), you really don't have to touch each file. Forum user interface will remain in English-US, but you can create Categories/Forums (Admin) in whatever languages you prefer, and posting can be in any languages, which will be rendered in whatever locale language input you use - multilingual content delivery.
What Rui mentions above is more for non-Western European languages or languages with special chars/symbols that would need to be properly rendered, especially in case of Asian languages.
There are some basic notes on this issue in the documentation forum of the test unicode forum (V3406 unicode forums internationalized with 4 languages): MUAF-Multilingual Unicode ASP Forums |

hi,
on this forum, JUST:
Add below code on top of "inc_header.asp"
Session.Codepage = 65001
Response.Charset = "utf-8"
and after <head> tag
add:
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
JUST
See the Example:
http://www.basamid-ngo.com/
this site based on forum snitz code
Good Luck |

Yes, that accomplishes utf-8 support for forum contents handling. But you have to also define the same for inc_header_short.asp which is included in pop_preview etc. Also, meta tag definition is not really necessary if a default content type is defined in config.asp.
A best current example of unicoded site is oxle.com by MarcelG, I can think of.
After a lot of trial and error for a simplest and easy approach for unicode support with a base version I came to is to set:
Session.Codepage = 65001
Response.Charset = "utf-8"
in config.asp right under the copyright statement, where a default codepage/charset is defined for all pages.
Also, inc_header and inc_header_short has html content type variable defined, which by default will fetch the variable value from the one defined in config.asp.
There are some differences in handling enabling a base version to support unicode and a localized based version to handle unicode support.
Anyway, some of the basic considerations in enabling unicode support for various Snitz Forum versions are discused in the documentation mentioned above, or
Unicode Support for Snitz Forums 2000
Localization/Translation
if these are any help for considering various approaches.
BTW,Ruithat's quite a credit given to me, but not really, I have to say. Still learning. |
