Your database are not utf8 collation. Would be better to use utf8 everywhere.

Probably & in the URL link is false. After the correct core update you should have URL links without html ampersands.

PHPMyAdmin:

General Setting:

Server Connection Collation: UTF8_general_ci

 

Database Server:

  • Server: Localhost via UNIX socket
  • Software: MySQL
  • Software version: 5.1.66-cll - MySQL Community Server (GPL)
  • Protocol version: 10
  • User: ********@@localhost
  • Server charset: UTF-8 Unicode (utf8)

So, i guess the database is using utf8.

DATABASE INSTALLATION

- focus on charsets (multibytes)

 

 

 

A FIRST INSTALLATION

when creates new database the SQL default install code for some reason is no influence.

 

**************************************************

* CREATE DATABASE `oscommerce_example_database`; *

**************************************************

 

* if hosting not set utf8 to default charset need to use

 

*****************************************************************************

* CREATE DATABASE `oscommerce_example_database` DEFAULT CHARACTER SET utf8; *

*****************************************************************************

 

SQL command.

 

Need inform before!

 

For informing yourself about charsets use SQL engine checking tools. osCommerce package

has a simple tool for checking.

 

Path: extras/create_database_tool.php

Note: need edit mysql_connect parameters before run this php script

The script give all create database alternative commands before installation.

(The default asked charset is "utf8" but allowed to change

$default_charset = 'utf8'; )

 

THE CHARSET PARAMETER NEED IN OSCOMMERCE SETUP PROCEDURE LATER!!!

 

Useage:

1. Copy create_database_tool.php to webserver

2. Edit create_database_tool.php file with a txt editor and give user password, database name

and host server name for sql commands. The dafault parameters good for local testing only.

 

$db_server = 'localhost';

$db_server_username = 'root';

$db_server_password = '';

 

3. Save file after changes and run

4. Green SQL commands are recommended

5. Select one best choice to Create oscommerce database

6. Change `oscommerce_example_database` name in SQL script you want

7. Run the new SQL created sript in SQL engine

8. Delete create_database_tool.php from webserver because this is a security risk!!!

 

 

 

B UPDATES

* if you already have non utf8 COLLATED EMPTY DATABASE

use alter database like this:

 

****************************************************************************************************

* ALTER DATABASE `oscommerce_example_database` DEFAULT CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_general_ci; *

****************************************************************************************************

 

* if already use non utf8 COLLATED DATABASE

Need alter the all table with SQL commands for each table which are exist!

 

* After core updates need to edit configure.php-s

add new line in

catalog/admin/includes/configure.php

 

define('DB_DATABASE_CHARSET', '');

 

and

catalog/includes/configure.php

 

define('DB_DATABASE_CHARSET', '');

 

Don't forget to set the charset value in changes!!

 

C INSTALLING OSCOMMERCE INTO COMMON USED DATABASE

oscommerce v2 is not use table prefixes, not recommended

 

 

 

D CHARSET PACKAGE SOLVE OTHER PROBLEMS

 

1. Default database charset of the core

 

2. Multibyte string problem in wordwrap

 

3. Search issues

 

4. Email issues

 

 

You can see more info in my github cointaner.

What i did was actually upgradign V2 to v233, Then took a backup. Deletede the OsCommerce, installed 233 from scratch, setup the language files, and then restored DB. Via PHPMyAdmin i checked the DB is UTF8 (it is). Also the server is UTF8. So i think im good.

the previous (saved) table was on utf8? Maybe the migrated table source is bad. Typical problem when used latin1 tables with non-latin1 characters and saved data into tables with wrong codings. I think you have utf8 tables now but some reason the characters looks like wrong encoded.

 

v2.3 and above the html pages use utf8 codepage, but v2.2 used latin encodes. When you saved non-latin characters into latin1 collated tables the characters missed because the colation was on utf8. In phpMyadmin and utf8 coded user interface (new oscommerce page) you can see good characters in your browsers because your browser transform multibytes characters to utf8 as html page coded. But you have wrong characters in data tables.

 

For this reason I used a lot of php scripts to encode my wrong coded latin2 characters from latin1 table on oscommerce.sql files. After the encoding I inserted into the new utf8 website data table.

 

I see that you can use phpAdmin. Could you list here one record example from products_description table with critical characters?

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

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.

@@www.in.no

Isnt æøå/ÆØÅ UTF8 characters?

Is there a difference to using UTF8, da_DK.utf8 or en_US.UTF8 etc...

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.

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?

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.

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.

@@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

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, '&') !== false ) {

$reset_key_url = str_replace('&', '&', $reset_key_url);

}

 

 

..The fix is shown at link below

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

Sara

 

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.....
