Paging special characters

Sheriffen

Hey!
When viewing older comments with the paging in a discussion my special swedish characters show up like crap. How do I set proper charcode to this?

Dykam

Utf-8 is recommended.

Sheriffen

Yeah I use utf-8 for all my in and out of the database and it works like a charm... eeexpcet for when jquery is loading the data. Then the characters show up all messy but when I reload the page and PHP fetches it, it works again..

Dykam

Did you check if encoding is really the problem?

Sheriffen

Honestly I don't know what the problem is. The only thing I know is that when jquery loads my page through AJAX it doesn't work but if I load it like normal, with PHP it does. Just wanted to know if anyone had a clue?

SOLVED:
comment out line 774 in class.controller.php

//$this->_Json['Data'] = utf8_encode($this->_Json['Data']);

makes my characters show up normally, isn't this the opposite of what should happen?

S

Confirm the problem.
URL?DeliveryType=VIEW&DeliveryMethod=JSON

All characters becomes unreadable.

S

Looks like that no need do utf8_encode() if default charset is UTF-8. Try fix:

if (C('Garden.Charset') != 'utf-8') $this->_Json['Data'] = utf8_encode($this->_Json['Data']);

@S where do you suppose to add this line?
instead of the old? why dont you post it to the issue tracker then, to add to the next vanilla rc?
ok, i just cmmented that line, and it works fine. is there any cons for simly commenting that line instead of editing to your code?
cheers
