Hello Raven-experts

Try replacing your /includes/jquery/nukeNAV.php with this one.

Thanks, nuken. In case you check and find no visibile differences between the files, that's because the updated file is saved in ISO 8859-2 format, and the bad file is in UTF-8. You could simply change the format in your editor and save, but it's probably easier to download the file.

I just did a fresh install of 2.4.00, had the same issue, resolved with nuken's file.

We are aware of the issue and it will be fixed in 2.40.01

Changing in your language/lang-english.php
charset=ISO-8859-1
to
charset=UTF-8

Seems to be the fix but... I have to ask why aren't we using UTF-8 anyway?

Because it is a lot more complicated than just switching over. If you search the forums you will see previous discussions on this matter.

Its the bloody database that is the kicker... at least for the thousands upon thousands of upgraders. Sad

I'm putting a toe out to get it wet and hoping it doesn't get bit off. Its hit and miss for now but I had to try a ravennuke test site to get a good baseline of where things should be and are. This was the one and as far as I can tell only install issue running on a fresh install of Apache/2.2.9 (Debian) PHP/5.2.6-1+lenny4 with Suhosin-Patch Server. Congrats to you and your team!

So yep I'll try and get caught up on years of slacking and with some luck perhaps ya can get a few useful posts out of me to boot. Obviously I need to sit back and do some reading before I post. Wink

hi nuken

Code:

Try replacing your /includes/jquery/nukeNAV.php with this one.

Your solution is working but

Online=Working
Offline(localhost)=Not working

If you do this change then it works

C:\wamp\www\language\language
Open language-English.php

Search for

define('_CHARSET','UTF-8');

Replace with

define('_CHARSET','UTF-8');
//define('_CHARSET','ISO-8859-1');

You dont need to do this trick above when your site is online.

You shouldn't need to do it any way. The problem has been discussed many times, the solution is to replace the nukeNAV.php file (or delete and re-write the first line of it) because it was accidentally saved with a utf-8 BOM in the original package.

Morning Guardian. I understand but your solution is only when the site is online not when you are running the site on localhost(offline) then it doesnt work replacing the nav. That is why I try to complete in one post the whole solution. Thanks for replying. See u around

This works fine I'd bet the anomalies are shown in forms saved before editing the file. So after fixing the issue there may be some posts to re-edit such as in the html blocks. You may find things like this happening â„¢!

Just edit re save and all will be fine again.
