Ok, i think i havent expressed what the problem is.

1. When i save the files with the built in tool, the files that are saved, becomes empty.
a. Solution: Edit locally, upload with FTP (apparently).

2. Text from my languagefiles (includes/language/dansk.php), does not show danish letters. http://drikkegel.dk/?page_id=26&slug=index.php&language=da

[www.in.no]

The language files are not encoded using utf-8, you have to convert them to UTF-8 and check all files in your language to clean out non UTF-8 characters.

In phpmyadmin i inserted the letters æøå in a few records. A dump look like this. On http://drikkegel.dk/?page_id=26 i cant see the letters in products, but in the text like the "greeting guest" theres an error. Guest in danish is gæst. not "g�st".

@www.in.no
Isnt æøå/ÆØÅ UTF8 characters?
Is there a difference to using UTF8, da_DK.utf8 or en_US.UTF8 etc...

[kymation]

Those characters can be represented in many encodings, but the code used may be different for different encodings. You must match the encoding used to that specified by osCommerce.

Hi, Timo, open up your Danish languages files and just resave them in utf-8 encoding. I think they are ANSI encoded.

I am trying to find the best way to load the Dashboard/jQuery only when it's needed, so I would like to have your opinion on this little tweak in admin template_top:

<?php
if ($current_page == FILENAME_DEFAULT) {
?>
<!--Introduce Administration Tool Dashboard and Add jQuery-->
<!--[if IE]><script language="javascript" type="text/javascript" src="<?php echo tep_catalog_href_link('ext/flot/excanvas.min.js'); ?>"></script><![endif]-->
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript" src="<?php echo tep_catalog_href_link('ext/jquery/jquery-1.4.2.min.js'); ?>"></script>
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript" src="<?php echo tep_catalog_href_link('ext/flot/jquery.flot.js'); ?>"></script>
<?php
}
?>

The reason is that it would give better performance. For example the login page do not need the Dashboard.

So, what's your thoughts of the above?

Sara

[kymation]

All pages use jQuery to load the buttons. Since the jQuery files are cached locally when the first page is loaded, you wouldn't notice any difference anyway.

@kymation
Hi Jim. Yes, you are right. Apart from the buttons it's used for the datepicker and in the dashboard...
Since jQuery do have bugs, I wonder which version of it is the "best" to use?
I am thinking of take the last version that can be used for legacy browsers like IE, and then debug it.
Thanks for your answer.

@Procella

did you read it? http://forums.oscommerce.com/topic/388234-v232-upgrade-experience-from-v231/page__st__60#entry1659679

[kymation]

@Juto  I would use the latest version if you want to replace or update the theme, then patch any errors that affect your store. In the current version that's the base bug.

Sorry for being a pain... but I still don't get it!

I get  .." The password reset link was not found in our records, please try again by generating a new link. " when trying to reset the password.

The thing is I can't see Security Pro anywhere in my "includes/application_top.php". In orther words I do not even know if I have Security Pro FWR (My site was put together for me about a year ago)

Please help! I just want to be able to reset password.

BTW Many thanks for the instructions ...this is my first time ever doing an upgrade & it seems it went well from 1 to 2 to 3

[omat]

Harald resolved my problem. For anyone having the same issue...

Go to "password_forgotten.php" search that page for $reset_key_url and change the following part:

if ( strpos($reset_key_url, '&') !== false ) {
$reset_key_url = str_replace('&', '&', $reset_key_url);
}

To:

if ( strpos($reset_key_url, '&amp;') !== false ) {
  $reset_key_url = str_replace('&amp;', '&', $reset_key_url);
}


..The fix is shown at link below

Finally figured it out.
Thank you so much for helping a novice in this aspect.
I installed notepad++ (dont know how i survuved this long without). You are right, it was ANSI, Now Ansi with UTF8, And it works.
I didnt figure out how to change the encoding, but i copied the content from the original, created a new UTF8 document and pasted to it, Saved it over the original file. Now on to the rest of the files.....

[Pmartin]

Good morning. I downloaded V2.3.2 to my desktop expecting an *.exe file to be in the folder. There isn't one. How do I upgrade to 2.3.2. I'll need to upgrade to V3.2.3 after that as well since the tempalte I'm purchasing requires it. Any help qwould be most appreciated.

"I downloaded from my bank website the money info, but how can I put into my suitcase?"

osCommerce is not a windows application. osCommerce need webserver with PHP interpreter so you need install by hand. Look into the zip file.
