Strange sign categorie hierarchie

Submitted by wesse249 on Thu, 2015-12-17 08:30 in

Hello David,

I get al the strange signs before the categories at category hierarchie.

┬ New
├── Auto's
│ └── Auto-accessoires
│ │ ├── Aanhangeronderdelen

Is it possible to change this?

Thanks Jan Roel

Hello Jan,

Thanks - I'll address this in the distribution, it is because your site is using a character set other than utf-8, and the characters used to display the hierarchy tree are specific to the utf-8 character set.

One option is to override the configuration and use /admin/ in utf-8. To do this, edit admin/admin_header.php and look for the following code at line 2:

  header("Content-Type: text/html;charset=".$config_charset);

...and REPLACE with:

  header("Content-Type: text/html;charset=utf-8");

The downside of forcing utf-8 would be that the feed registration and imported analysis may not show characters in your configured character set correctly. As an alternative therefore, the utf-8 line drawing characters used by html/categories_hierarchy.php could be replaced with ASCII characters instead. To do this, look for the following code at line 105:

print "│       ";

...and REPLACE with:

print "|       ";

Then look for the following code at line 108:

  print ($counts[$depth]?"├":"└")."──  ";

...and REPLACE with:

  print ($counts[$depth]?"-":"-")."──  ";

I will look at an alternative layout for the hierarchy that does not depend on the configured characters set - thanks for bringing this to my attention.

Hope this helps!

Cheers,
David.
