Hi,
I am running a getsimple site. I am currently creating a prices page.
When I use the £ sign on the page it comes up as £. If I put use the HTML editor and put in £ it works until I come back and edit the page at which point the html tag is replaced with £ and I am back to the £ issue. Any ideas? I have tried using the en_GB language pack I am running GetSimple 3.2.1
Thanks
Michael

Michael,
if you use UTF-8 in your template the sign should be correct.
Check the character sets, codepages etc. I am sure there is a misconfiguration

If this isn't a template encoding problem, to disable entities in ckeditor's config.
Addons: blue business theme, Online Visitors, Notepad

Hi,
I think the template is fine, how can I check?
When you say disable entities in ckeditors config, how would I do this?
I have remote access to the server so hacking about files is no issue. I haven't really explored get-simple outside the web interface thou.
Thanks for your help!
Michael

What theme are you using? Custom-made?
If so, does this issue happen if you select Cardinal or Innovation?

Hi,
No it doesn't happen with the built in templates. The template I am using is called "the-blue". So perhaps there is something I need to do to the template, any pointers?
Thanks for all your help.

A quick glance at it and I could see no
<meta charset="utf-8">
which should be in the head section.
Open header.inc.php and write the line in with the other meta stuff between <head> and </head> and save. It doesn't matter exactly where. That might fix it.

Perfect. That's fixed it. Thanks for your help. Do you know what character set it defaults too? I would have thought utf-8 would have been the default.

So would I. But there is a lot I don't understand.

It depends on the server, the server sends a default header, the meta tag overrides it.
