Hi,

how about simply using html-entities ?
Which means ü becomes ü for example.

regards

Thank you for your answers and thank you Instantflorian for your hint but I don´t care if my method is old fashioned. First priority is, that the website is working. And it does despite the problems with ä and ü.

I have opened the SQL Daba but i didn´t find the incorrect letters. Could anyone tell me where I can approximately find them?

[instantflorian]

Hi,

this is no problem with the hotfix or the charseit which is set by the template. The wrong characters are saved in the database, what sometimes happens when exporting/importing data. So you either have to browse your complete site and correct the ü etc. manually (what is probably easier regarding the small site) or dump the database to an sql file, replace all the crappy chars with ä etc. and re-import it.

Oh, by the way, building a website with tables is "a bit" old fashioned....

Hi nibz,

I set the template on utf8 but it didn´t work.

May I have to change something in the mysql daba.

The strange point is, I have the problems with the wrong letters just in the menu and in the wb-backend, but not in the wysiwyg-content.

How did you set your charset in the template?

Example of good usage

Code Select Expand


<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=<?php if(defined('DEFAULT_CHARSET')) { echo DEFAULT_CHARSET; } else { echo 'utf-8'; }?>" />

Does realy no one can help me?

If you need some more Information to solute, let me know!

[spiderpig2008]

Thank you again.

Now the construction of the design is how I imagined. But there is a problem with the german letters ü and ä.
For instance: The german "zurück" is shown as zurück.
But the problem is just existing when I use the letters in the menubox. If I use them in the content I don´t have these problems.

I googled but I just found that I have to change the charset in the index.php. I tried it and it doesnt work.

Can someone help me?

But the code for the index.php hasn´t solved the problem with the large menuframe.

plz copy&paste my code. your code looks wrong.

your margin-right is not what you want, you need margin-left. (i think)  

By the way, why do have to change some points of the design in the "template.css" and other ones in the "index.php" file?

I don't know, it's your template.
Work in index.php with classes and/or id's, than you can all style in css.
HTML & CSS are basics and not WebsiteBaker-specific. You will find many help in Google

I have displaced the LoginBox with this line in the .css
^{form {
   margin-right:100px;}

But the code for the index.php hasn´t solved the problem with the large menuframe.

By the way, why do have to change some points of the design in the "template.css" and other ones in the "index.php" file?

For width of menu, same line:

Code Select Expand

<td valign="top" style="background-color: #FFCC00;">
change to

Code Select Expand

<td valign="top" style="background-color: #FFCC00; width: 200px;">

For login, find this in your template.css (line 64):

Code Select Expand

form {
    margin: 0;
}
and change to

Code Select Expand

form {
    margin: 0 0 0 20px;
}

Thank you for the nice welcome! 

Honestly I don´t want to change the template because I have invested a lot of work in it right now.

Thank you dbs for your solution. It works. The menu looks good so far but now I want to put the login-box on the left side and make the orange menu-frame a little bit smaler.

Hi and welcome,

plz use #-button for showing code.
In most cases the code is not needed, only the link to the problem.

For the menu: search this in the index.php of your template:

Code Select Expand

<td valign="top" style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); padding: 10px;">
and change to:

Code Select Expand

<td valign="top" style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">

But a free template, without tables, would be a better way for you.
There is also a big german community in this forum.
