Hi

I have drupal up and running....but there are some bugs that I really don't know how to fix.

1o
Take a look:
http://www.somenoise.com.br/node/9

There is a �, anywhere whese should appear symbols like Ç Ã Á and etc ...

this page, is in php format. And all the content, is an include...

Why does it happens only to the php pages included???

2o
I downloaded and activated the logotool module, and I keep seeing this message:
"Incorrect path set for logo folder"

The path:

Path to your logos folder:
files
The FULL SYSTEM PATH to the folder which contains your logos.

"files" is the path, already created and with write permission setted ....

⋅ Categories: Drupal 4.7.x

2. files is not a full system path. Your full system path is likely something like /var/www/html/files You may need to ask your webhost.

Actually due to 'brain drain' you will also receive that error message in logotool if you haven't copied/ moved the supplied logo.php into your top level Drupal directory. Apologies that the message is incorrect, but then again the instructions are pretty clear...

...Plus you're getting those weird characters because your webhost hasn't compiled in support for foreign character sets - to get around the problem do what I do with (for instance) the euro symbol, I type € which becomes € in your browser. Most things have an html code for them.

Thanks for the help! I'll try it with the logotool ..

But with the weird characters. I don't think the problem is from the webhost. Because I've everything in the same webhost, and the weird characaters just come when I put an include, like

<?php include 'example'; />

and in the DB, all of the db has the same collation, specifying the same characters set and etc :(

anyone have any idea on what's happening?

Did you use phpmyadmin to create your db tables? There is some sort of known problem with that (I just googled it) although tbh I get the same problem (eg. the Euro thing above) and I used the command line to create mine. You may well be stuck with having to use html codes like &ccedil; for ç, etc...

...Just a thought... If you're using an html editor (tinymce, htmlarea, etc) to enter your text have you tried turning it off? Also, if you're using a filter have you tried setting the filter to 'Full HTML'? Your text gets passed through a whole lot of things before it gets written into the db, maybe it's something else which is messing it up? Actually I've one last question... Is this a new install or an upgrade? It might sound like an irrelevant question but I myself had issues where every £ sign on my website turned into a question mark somewhere between upgrades (couldn't tell you exactly where) - my solution at the time was to resubmit ALL the nodes one by one with the pound sign put back in, it took me ages... I guess now I've learnt a load more I could have written a script to do it for me :o) Meh... I'm prepared if it happens again ;o)
