After a new user is created, this "unprintable" message

After a new user is created they see the screen shown in the screenshot. Where is that "unprintable" coming from and how might I fix it?

Thanks,

Zen Cart doesn't display "_String is unprintable_" as part of its normal behaviour.

However, I suppose it's possible that your browser or your host server might be causing that to display due to unsupported character set configurations.

I think that would be a PHP thing rather than a browser thing.

At any rate, I have never seen that before and my browser can display just about any charset.

in your admin -> tools -> developers toolkit

do a search for trackback in the admin and catalog

Exactly. What is your host saying about the matter ?

The host? I don't think it has anything to do with them. It's only an error I've seen in ZC. Doesn't it mean some string is missing or something?

Sorry, I can't help you find it in Zen Cart .... because the word "unprintable" does not exist in any of the Zen Cart files.

Perhaps you might try looking at View Source in your browser to determine whether the browser sees the "_String is unprintable_" as special symbols, or specific HTML, or whether maybe the apache (or whatever webserver) engine that's running on your host is sending that text to you.

Or maybe you might try searching your own site's files for the word "unprintable". You could even get explorative and export your database to a text file and search it too, just in case you've entered that as literal text in a customer record.

I wouldn't be surprised to discover that you've got some multibyte character that's not being properly detected by all the systems feeding your browser.

But Zen Cart out of the box isn't causing this.

in your zen cart admin
open the tools link
then choose the developers toolkit

in the last box on the left type in
traceback

in the drop down next to it choose catalog/admin hit go

this will show you where this is located,

Follow my screenshot I have from your zen-cart's admin folder. It should be easier for you to track it.
