Integrating g2 into mambo 4.5.2 works fine on my site, thanks to the coders!!

My problem now is:

When I click on my g2 link in my mambo sidebar, all the german "umlaute" like "ae" (=ä) or "oe" (=ö) in the rest of the navigation turn to a "�". This affects the hole navigation ... within g2 (standalone and integratetd version) the album names with "Umlaut" are all correct!

This seems to be a general Problem, isn't it?! (parts of this text are from other users)

Can you help us German G2 users

the charset of the pages must be
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"/>

i guess you have to edit a mambo file somewhere to change it to utf-8.

I noticed the same Problem with umlauts. However, only if I include the random photo module from "mod_gallery_block.php". If I use only the sidebar module then the problem does not appear.

I have the problem with "mod_gallery_block.php". My language is brazilian portuguese. I published the module for 2 days, so you can see. After 2 days I'll unpublish to get rid of this error.

Ave,

regards,
Michiel

Ave,

thxs, it isn't just the module the embedded page is also broken. it is quite strange, because in FireFox it is experiencing less problems then in Safari.

regards,
Michiel

[edit]
try changing this to
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
maybe it helps, i don't have much knowledge on this matter, but having multiple encodings isn't wise i think.

Hi,

use the html code for the umlaut-characters. For example & instead of ü.
You can use it for the modul description (mambo menue), links etc. too.
It works fine on my homepage. So mambo can use iso-8859-1 and gallery can use utf-8.
