Bug: File Title with accent are not displayed correctly on manage-files.php about projectsend HOT 9 CLOSED

This also occur on client page my_files
for Title an Description

from projectsend.

This happened on the latest version right? How about the previous ones?

from projectsend.

I have not tested the previous one which version exactly do you mean?
I have only use the old V 4.12 which latin was not compatible with ( I fixed the code )
And the actual version which I have issue with.

from projectsend.

The accents should not be saved like this in the database été
This should be saved like this été

Any french user (or other latin) have fixed the problem?

from projectsend.

template.php.zip

found the issue

in default/template.php

all output of title and description have htmlentities() on them. Thats explain why its ok everywhere on the website but not on view. I modified it locally and its working flawlessly

Ok thanks
But still, the information are not saved correctly to the database, that will be the next thing to be fix.

from projectsend.

Well, technically, having html entities in the db data is not an issue as all browser interpret them so whatever language you save in db you will never have encoding issue (even with Catalan or non-frequent language. We often deal with that at Ticketmaster with European markets) . The issue was to force browser to print html entities with htmlentities() instead for just print db content (as it is done on other sections of the website/app .. ex: manage-files).

Cheers and your welcome!

Hi,
The problem occur also when editing a file name and description.
This will not be displayed correctly on the list for example : manage-files.php

So it's need to be done on every page where echo htmlentities appear
