Tested with php 5.3.x, 5.4.x and 5.5.x - all without this issue.

I'm not sure if it could help you but you can try to test this one. Make a back of this file before you are start to change it!!!!

open modules/Forums/viewforum.php

find:

php Code:

$template->assign_vars(array(


        'FORUM_ID' => $forum_id,


        'FORUM_NAME' => $forum_row['forum_name'],

change it to:

php Code:

$template->assign_vars(array(


        'FORUM_ID' => $forum_id,


        #'FORUM_NAME' => $forum_row['forum_name'],


		'FORUM_NAME' => htmlspecialchars($forum_row['forum_name'], ENT_QUOTES, _CHARSET),

find:

php Code:

'TOPIC_TITLE' => $topic_title,

change it to:

php Code:

'TOPIC_TITLE' => htmlspecialchars($topic_title, ENT_QUOTES, _CHARSET),

Compare it on this URL: http://hog.thehunters.se/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewforum&f=1
Try to cange the title of the topic with another specialchars instead only ö, maybe with "é äü ß" etc.

Hi i did solve it.... in modules/forum/language/lang_english was

Code:

$lang['ENCODING'] = 'utf-8';

i did change this to

Code:

$lang['ENCODING'] = 'iso-8859-1';

And that did do the trick

Why do you have it changed before to utf-8? the default setting in the download package is the ISO encoding.

Then i think you should open your eyes again and download the distro and have one more look
orginal says in modules/forum/language/lang-english/lang_main.php

Quote:

$lang['ENCODING'] = 'utf-8';

Ok i have it mistaken with the lang-definition define('_CHARSET','ISO-8859-1'); but the strange thing is, $lang['ENCODING'] isn't in use with all themes. The related tpl-files are still exist but all are not in use. But that would be explain some issues that i got few years ago. I will play with it. Thanks for the info!

Which theme you are using?

fisube

I don't get this issue on my own web server and also not on my local wamp server. I have it tested with all themes in the package. There is all fine.

So it must be a issue on "your" side. Maybe through restrictions or settings by your current webhosting company.

If you want use umlauts in HTML you should type it with the related html code for the specialchar:

ä = ä Ä = Ä
ü = ü Ü = Ü
ö = ö Ö = Ö
