BackUp ZC [Support Thread]

[mickymix]

I just down loaded Italian Language Pack (complete) http://www.zen-cart.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=161 and install it.

Well, I don't think this was pretty necessary, but ok, if you did it, it was nice from you...

Of course there is no language file for ZC BackUp so all the upper case strings show. When I run ZC Backup in Italian I do not get a corrupted file like you.

This was quite obvious, as Backup ZC WAS WORKING before my modifications to unify collations in within the MySQL DB and connected modifications to the headers as reported HERE:

Step 1

Open includes/languages/YOUR_TEMPLATE/english.php

Find:

@setlocale(LC_TIME, 'en_US.ISO_8859-1');

And replace with:

@setlocale(LC_TIME, 'en_US.utf8');

Next find:

define('CHARSET', 'iso-8859-1');

And replace with:

define('CHARSET', 'utf-8');

Step 2

Open YOUR_ADMIN/includes/languages/english.php

Find:

setlocale(LC_TIME, 'en_US.ISO_8859-1');

And replace with:

setlocale(LC_TIME, 'en_US.utf8');

Next find:

define('CHARSET', 'iso-8859-1');

And replace with:

define('CHARSET', 'utf-8');

Obviously, having a website which is DOUBLE LANGUAGE (Italian and English), I applied the same modifications to the ITALIAN part too, setting the correct Italian UTF modifications...

Can you attach the ZC BackUp admin language file so I can test.

Sure, here it is, and if you think the Italian translation can be useful, you might add to your contribution for free...
Please note that the config might be modified for my needs (memory, excluded folders, etc) and you'll also find a modified English file as there was a typo...
BackupZC_v107_IT.zip

You can also try renaming ZC Backup admin language file so zen cart can not see it. Then run ZC Backup with the upper case strings showing and see if it works.

Going to try this right now...

Thank you
