Wrong encoding of foreign language with CB message

Have you enabled obfuscating of messages?

The problem may also appear when magic quotes are on or off (don't remember the default now and have not tested if this might be a problem actually).

No obfuscating or encryption-
But Magic quotes is enabled on my website.

Maybe I found a workaround for people who use encryption/obfuscating and for people which habe troubles with encoded html entities

Please check and report if it works:
joomlacode.org/gf/project/com_uddeim/scmsvn/?action=browse&path=%2Ftrunk%2Fplug_pms_uddeim11%2F

It result is not 100% correct but it should do the job.

Here is the result attached. It worked for some encoded characters but not all.

The links are better looking but still not as intended.

Anyway this can work better than nothing

ok, next try

I discussed it with beat and language files should not use html entities, so it is definitely a problem with CBs language file.

So my changes are only a dirty fix to suppress the symptoms.

The CB link should work now I hope.

This is clearly a language file problem.

Just go into your CB language file, and change all &....; by their corresponding characters, just escaping ' with a backslash \\ ' before them.

You will need to save your language file in the same charset as your site template (e.g. utf8 without bom if your site template is utf8, or iso 8859 if the template is such.

CB expects language files to not be entity-encoded, as it does the encoding at display time using only htmlspecialchars() .

Doing it any other way would bring a big hit in performance, usability and security.

Just fix the language file and publish it in the CB 1.1 language subforum, so for next CB versions, it's right

EDIT: oops, just saw Stephan's reply... anyway, we agree..
