Desert Noon Template Support Thread

I just installed this template and noticed there are some characters not diplayed.

For example, not quite sure how this will be displayed here, but I'm copying and pasting
Shipping�Sample Text�...

When viewing in FireFox, there is a little box with 'FF DD' after "Shipping" and another after "Text"
When viewing in Internet Explorer there's a question mark instead of the little box shown in FireFox.

Why does this happen?
I was comparing with stock files and noticed for the template 'en_US.utf8' and the stock file 'en_US.ISO_8859-1'
Does this have anything to do with it? Which encoding is better?

Thanks.

change the encoding to en_US.ISO_8859-1 and see if that helps

Yep, changing to en_US.ISO_8859-1 in the english.php fixed it.

Opening the files containing these characters that did not display correctly revealed the character was just a space. Deleting the space then typing it again and saving the file also could fix it.

Are the files inside includes/modules/sideboxes/desert_noon necessary?

I'm comparing with the current stock files for the latest version and they seem to be pretty much exactly the same.

I'm just trying to get rid off unnecessary files in override folders that are already the same as the stock files.

If you've used winmerge or a similar file comparison utility and the files appear to be the same then no, they are not necessary.

Thank you for the fast reply.
Yes, I use WinMerge.

I'm using 1.39h and just installed Desert Noon and can't seem to get the cc_accept sidebox to work with it. When I turn the sidebox on it doesn't show up and also removes any sideboxes that are there except for the top Shopping Cart box. It has the same effect on both left or right side, is there something I'm missing or is this add on just not compatible?

Thanks for the great template!

Which credit card sidebox are you using?

I'm using this one:
Add-On: Credit Cards Accepted Sidebox
Designed for: Zen Cart v1.2.1d
Created by: Carter Harris
Upgraded to Zen Cart 1.3 by kuroi


Reviewing the install nots I see there was an addition I needed to make to the CSS it look like?

I don't fine that sidebox listed in the free software add-ons download section.
