problem with some hieroglyphic signs in Weather Blue V2 PHP template

[alessandro]

Hello everybody,

I am from Hellas.
I started making a weather site with Weather Blue V2 PHP in this location:

http://www.meteogreece.net/ws/megistilavra/

I have made the translation of the main menu in greek and it works ok.
Altough I have a problem with some phrases were the text appears some hieroglyphic signs(����������) in all languages.
The spots that this appears are:
This month's data --> "Highest Daily Wind Run".
All time Records --> on top and "Highest Monthly Rainfall".
Home --> on top and in the"Observation" square.

Can anyone help me fix it???
Thanks in advance,
Alessandro

Hi Alessandro,

I've checked your site and found a few bugs.
So, you could check your TMM page (manage.php)
to update these files:
record_txt.php
thismonth_txt.php

This new version will correct problems with  Monthly Rainfall
and Daily Wind Run translation problem.

But, for other dates, I haven't found an evidence.
Since these are "words" taken right from Cumulus
as opposite to other dates that are "pre-formatted",
these are taken from the OS i think! In Cumulus main
screen there the current date in text, it is displayed right?

Regards,
Jacques

Hi Otto,

I'm surprised to see that you have to recode some string.
I'm curious to know if you are using wt_data_intl.php
or wt_data_inc.php?

In wt_data_intl.php, all text are using utf8_encode,
so this file is supposed to work.

Regards,
Jacques

Hi Jacques,

I have set the Cumulus  in Local filenames wt_data_intl.php , and in Remote filenames wt_data_inc.php

I have tried to do the update with TMM page (manage.php) but due to security reasons I cannot do the update automatically.
Where can I find the files so that I can update them manually??

Thanks,
Alessandro

Hello Otto,

Thanks for the advice.
I have changed the code successfully and the hieroglyphics dissappeared.
Altough there is still a problem because as you can see, the date appears in English in every language.
