Greek character sets
Zen Cart Ver. v1.3.9h
Greek Lang. Pack installed
After a big fight at initial setup about one year ago, I managed to have an acceptable view of Greek for my web-site but it has never been 100% correct at all pages. What I did in order to use Greek correctly (without re-installing and re-configuring from scratch because too much work has already taken place), I used the following settings in the Greek.php file:
define('CHARSET', 'utf8_unicode-ci');
define('DB_CHARSET', 'utf8_unicode_ci');
I also modified my tables in mysql with the same codepage and in some cases it was needed to re-copy/paste the contents in the fields in order to be reset to new codepage. That was the only codepage that would display correctly. Plain UTF-8 would display (????) in most pages. I also had to open the php files in Notepad++ and save them as UTF8 files.
The current issue now is that:
- Internet Explorer displays my website correctly with all Greek characters and without making any selection for encoding.
- Opera doesn't display Greek correctly. I have to go to encoding and change manually to Greek.
- When a user registers or a new order is placed, the email notification I receive in MS Outlook is ok but on my Android smartphone I see question marks (???). I see in the header of the message in Outlook that the message is UTF-8
-
What do I have to do in order to allow all browsers to identify Greek codepage? and make Greek the default first language?
-
What do I have to do in order for the emails to display correctly everywhere? even on my phone (which can display Greek correctly in all other cases except from this one only)?
