updated to 1.5 (from 1.3.9), now define pages editor not loading the pages to edit

[bangsters]

Hi guys!! 1.5 rocks!!

however, encountered some minor hiccup probably when upgrading from 1.3.9 to 1.5. Normally, when I edit the main page, instead of editing the files directly, I go to the admin portal -> tools -> define pages editor. It was working fine in 1.3.9, but now in 1.5, it's not showing the pages. I instead just see a white text box with no HTML code.... and above it, it shows the correct path and filename of the page I want to edit:

/home/domain/domain.com/html/online/includes/languages/english/html_includes/mytemplate/define_main_page.php

I checked permissions and they are correct. Any suggestions? For now I'm editing directly the files, but I prefer using the admin portal.

Thanks guys!!

Actually, it's not only the define pages editor that's messed up.... Everythign with a large text box shows empty data. Like in the Product description, the contents of the product do not show up. Just shows a big white text box.....

Any idea what could be causing this?

Do you mean that the HTML editor is missing ? If so, you'll need to install this:

http://www.zen-cart.com/index.php?ma...oducts_id=1626

even in text editor mode, the contents are not showing up....

the same goes when i try to edit a product, the product description disappears as well.....

I checked for errors, and found this in the debug file:

[15-Mar-2012 11:39:26] PHP Warning: htmlspecialchars() [<a href='function.htmlspecialchars'>function.htmlspecialchars</a>]: Invalid multibyte sequence in argument in /home/domain/domain.com/html/folder/admin/includes/modules/product/collect_info.php on line 410

and it only happens on sites updated from 1.3.9 to 1.5. any other site on the same server that's a fresh install of 1.5 shows up correctly....

ok fixed it by changing utf-8 to iso-8859-1 in the admin configure.php file.

one thing that puzzles me though... new installs use utf-8 and they work fine. also if I go to phpmyadmin for the upgraded installs (1.3.9 to 1.5) they show MySQL charset: UTF-8 Unicode (utf8).

So how come when the charset is utf-8 in zen admin it wouldn't show some of the html codes???
