Labels/caption in UTF-8 was created by JoomlaWorks

Open up the file mambots/content/plugin_jw_sigpro.php and do a search for:

htmlentities($labels[md5($mosConfig_absolute_path.$rootfolder.$_images_dir_.'/'.$images[$a])],ENT_QUOTES)

2 instances will be found. Replace them with this:

htmlentities($labels[md5($mosConfig_absolute_path.$rootfolder.$_images_dir_.'/'.$images[$a])],ENT_QUOTES, 'UTF-8')

This should work now.

BTW, encoding issues have been addressed in the upcoming 1.3 version. ;)

::)
I cannot get captions to work half the time. If I go in and delete all the CR/LF etc. (even though they don't appear to exist) then it will finally work. I can't figure out what it likes and doesn't like. And if I put a $ character in there forget it. Totally screwed up. Anyone know what is going on here?

And how to I create a new thread in this forum? All I can find is how to reply to someone else's post.

Is the code secret? Fotis cannot see your solution but really would like to as I have similar challenge.

Hi. I'm russian speaking. And I had some problems with russian labels.

When we use this solution ... we get all russian translated to appropriate mnemonics ... (htmlentities function). It's not so big problem unless u use caption limit option ... say ... one letter become #74hfg; (sample). SO when you set limit ... function counts all symbols and say word from 5 letters becomes 25 mnemonic-symbol word. But, I didnt see any result anyway ... I didnt get my caption cut to limit amount. I saw an article that function str_word_count() that is used for removing letters works not good with languages different from EN. I was getting empty array here:

$word_arr = str_word_count($final_caption, 2);

So ... my way to make it working ...

htmlspecialchars($labels[md5($config->rdg_abspath.DS.$_images_dir_.DS.$images[$a])],ENT_QUOTES,$lng->iso)
// changed htmlentities to htmlspecialchars, dont think it's very important
// to yse htmlentities
//$lng->iso = 'windows-1251' - dont pay attention on this variable

And then trimming ...

if ($caption_limit) {
	$word_arr = preg_split('/ /', $final_caption, -1, PREG_SPLIT_OFFSET_CAPTURE);
	//$word_arr = str_word_count($final_caption, 2);
	foreach ($word_arr AS $v) {
		if (($v[1]+strlen($v[0])) > $caption_limit) {
			$final_caption = substr($final_caption, 0, $v[1]).'...';
			break;
		}
	}
}

Actually, I'm pretty sure this way to trim letter will work better ... and good with non EN letters.

So... this is the way I made it working with russian.
