On my local pc the string was not in the template file, just on the webspace the string appears.
See: [SOLVED]  string appears in Link summary View

Where should the characters be? First line? I´ve downloaded the server file and viewed it with Wordpad and Firefox without seeing anything. This problem arose first time after changing the charset so I think it´s code related (v9.5). Nevertheless thank you for your tip!

Me and coding is like riding a unicycle! A hazard for the environment :-)

This was a bit strange for me. When I opened the file in my Firefox Browser (2.0):
mydomain.com/templates/yget/story_center.tpl (so try it online, not downloading it, just type in your Live Site Adress)
I could see the chars in the file. If I make "save site" in the browser or donload it to local hdd by ftp and open it with an Editor on my pc, I didnt see the strings also.
I have two test installs online, one wich is fixed and one wich has the prob at all, so I checkt the not fixed site again. Now it becomse more strange for me, if I open the Template file on Server with Internet Explorer I cannot see the Chars too. In Firefox I can still see it in the template file. This is really strange, I dont understand this.

But try to open the story_center.tpl with FF online on your webspace.

This problem arose first time after changing the charset so I think it´s code related (v9.5).

So you mean this is since you changed from

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />

to

<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1">

?

I use UTF-8 from beginng and didnt change this.

I can´t see the files online with my provider, I have to download them via sftp.

Yes, I switched as mentioned in the title ;-)

thats it

bitte schön mein Freund

Dankeschön!

There is still a problem with the live view after this change. What is the file name for this view to change it in the same way?

I eventually solved all my charset problems (urls with special characters) thanks to the "makefriendly" module. Check in the download section for it :-)

Could anyone with PHP knowledge help us with the code of tags.php and the capital letter problem?

That doesnt solve the tag problem.

Surprisingly, the script worked with my ISO-8859-1 recoded installation (except capital letters)!

I could also find a solution for the live view: Encoding of live view

True, I test it again and it is now working for me too!

So tags and the url for tags are written into 2 letter combinations (ä->ae) with modification the domain.com/libs/tags.php like it is posted here:
http://forums.pligg.com/showpost.php...6&postcount=20

It would be nice if somebody can clean this up so that Tags are displayed with special letters (like all the other text on the Page) and only the Url is written to the 2 Letter Combinations.

I´d like to encourage all users with these problems:
I´ve installed my production pligg today with live2.php set to ISO-8859-1 and it didn´t work. I switched back to UTF-8 and it still didn´t work. Full of anger I went back to ISO-8859-1 and it finally worked!

P.S.: If your whole system is set to ISO-8859-1 you shouldn´t use the lang.conf-Editor intensively with special characters. The outcome neither fit to UTF nor to ISO!
