Obscure Formating errors CLEditor

Dr_SommerDr_Sommer ✭✭
in Vanilla 2.0 - 2.8

V2.1B2, Opera/FF

Hi, back again... :D:D

Here is a Picture of this "Bug"

You can reproduce this error in our Forum:

http://caba.de/CaBaFoRuM/index.php?p=/discussion/2508/das-neue-cabaforum-tipps-test-und-hilfeseite#latest

Name= testuser Passw= testuserpass

Just type in some text and do minimum 2 spaces between two textBlocks and save it...

If you look at the latest entries of the link above, you'll see more Formating errors...

No clue what that is... i had this also in our first 2.0.18.10 Forum...

FYI: I came initially from a PHPBB3 Forum, but I don't think that has anything to do with the Bug above...

How can I correct this? It's really annoying... ;(

    your theme is lacking character encoding

    add

    <meta charset="UTF-8">

    or

    <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;charset=utf-8" >

    to your default.master

    grep is your friend.

    yes, I tried the second one before, but that changed nothing, so I removed it...

    Now I tried your 2 proposals again, put it into the Head from default.master.tpl of my theme:

    <head> {asset name="Head"} <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;charset=utf-8" > respectively <meta charset="UTF-8"> </head>

    Reloaded it, put some text with space, same error...

    try putting

    <meta charset="UTF-8">

    right after <head>

    grep is your friend.

  • Dr_SommerDr_Sommer ✭✭

    nope.... every possible combination did not work... i also tried the +baseline Theme, wich has not any meta definition as mentioned above... i put <meta charset="UTF-8"> into Vanilla\applications\dashboard\views\default.master.tpl, but no change....
    this is really strange...
    My Theme is also based on the default "+baseline" theme...
    Tried it also with cache cleaned Firefox....

    The document type is wrong, you have html5 document type.

    stickthis in the top of the master before < head > change the lang to german

            <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
        <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en-ca">

    then this after < head >

    <meta http-equiv="Content-type" content="text/html;charset=UTF-8">

    http://www.w3.org/International/questions/qa-html-encoding-declarations#quicklookup

    You can also add the following line to a .htaccess file to serve all files with a .html extension as UTF-8 in this and all child directories:

    AddType 'text/html; charset=UTF-8' html

    ok, so i did:

    <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="de">

    an before </head> :

    <meta http-equiv="Content-type" content="text/html;charset=UTF-8">

    the same error... ;(

    Do I have Typos? Are you sure that it is because of the Document type?
    Because I didn't change anything in this area, so it`s the same as in the default theme +Baseline....

    crazy, crazy, crazy... ;););)

    p.s. : Firebug shows the above Coding too...

  • vrijvlindervrijvlinder MVP

    Did you erase the caches?

    The charset part need to be the first thing after < head >

    Try adding that line to your htaccess file

    AddType 'text/html; charset=UTF-8' html

    I know of one other person who had this happen YAcosta about a year ago and solved it. Let me see If I can find the discussion...

    Ok forget what I said about the doc type, is your theme bittersweet but edited ? ok

    doc type in that theme is html5

    so change that back to this with the charset

    <!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
  {asset name="Head"}
</head>

    I found it , do you have this in your config.php ?

    $Configuration['Garden']['charset'] = 'utf-8';

  • Dr_SommerDr_Sommer ✭✭

    ok, changed back to HTML5 doc-type, copied your code into default.master.pl

    The base of my Theme is "+baseline" (the default theme of Vanilla 2.1B2)

    still no luck...

  • vrijvlindervrijvlinder MVP

    Do you have that line in your config.php ? If not add it.

    $Configuration['Garden']['charset'] = 'utf-8';

  • Dr_SommerDr_Sommer ✭✭

    just did it, no luck... AAhhhhhh.... ;(((

    is there a diffrence between

    <meta charset="UTF-8">

    and with "/"

    <meta charset="UTF-8" />

    try lowercasing utf-8 for grins.

    your meta on your page shows uppercase, try lower case.

  • vrijvlindervrijvlinder MVP

    yes that depends on the doc type.

    You could go to a validator and it will tell you what errors it finds.

    http://validator.w3.org

    add your url for the forum and in the options ask for Clean up Markup with HTML-Tidy and show source so you can compare and possibly you can find what it wrong

    It is tied to not having a charset stipulated.

    Try writing a new post after you added the $Configuration['Garden']['charset'] = 'utf-8';

    I do not think it will affect the previous posts only the new ones after adding that line.

    Also look at the database table for comments to see if you see this in the Body etc

    Collation utf8_unicode_ci

    ok, thanks... ;)
    After every Change I do a new post, just to be sure.. ;)
    You can see that here:
    http://www.caba.de/CaBaFoRuM/index.php?p=/discussion/2508/das-neue-cabaforum-tipps-test-und-hilfeseite#latest

    I will now try to validate and correct the Errors, I suppose that will consume some time...

    p.s.: also tested lower case... no luck...

    good point. see if adding a new comment with "special characters" is corrected in a new post.

    It appears to only happen with the english language words ?

    Did you add the line in the htaccess file of your site ?

    AddType 'text/html; charset=UTF-8' html

    no... just put some spaces between two textblocks... then the "?" appear, as in the picture above...

    you could look in your database and see how the characters are represented in in the body of the discussion table. to see what is coming in. Also do you see the same problem in discussion display without cleditor. and posting via buttonbar.
