TextBox uft-8 Russian language troubles

ray_man 24 Feb, 2013
I have a simple form that creates a new article and uploads some photos.
If i use {chronoforms}form1{/chronoforms} in an article - all is fine, but if i use it in a module (html text) or use chronoforms plugin, then i have unreadable symbols from textbox/textarea.
I found that it only happens in one template and only in cyrillic (russian).

.htaccess has AddDefaultCharset UTF-8
header contains the <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
I have this issue in XAMPP on Windows and at the hoster.

Please help me find the problem in the template. What shoud i check?

Hi ray_man,

There's nothing in ChronoForms that behaves differently in the plug-in or the ChronoForms module (though it looks as though you aren't using that). We have seen something similar before where some other plug-in validates the page content and messes with special characters in submissions. (I think in that case @ was being removed from email addresses).

Hi GreyHead, thanks for the reply. Plugins are the same for both templates - default joomla template (breez2) and "my template" (downloaded from templates site). But this problem occurs only in "my template", only with russian text and only in regions other than a content (article) region (e.g. top, bottom, banner etc.) In the content (article) region all is fine. Any idea what's wrong with "my template"?
