hi,

following to the bad display of the specials letters (é,è,à,ê,...) in all the translation, i have re-writed the index.php in /components/com_jcalpro/languages/french/ directory and saved it in utf-8.

all texts becames good excepted the month in the minical and the latest event modules.

i have tried the tips in the folowing thread but without any effects : http://dev.anything-digital.com/Forum/1.6.x-General-Discussion/2223-Swedish-letters-a-a-o/
so i have tried to rewrite the month without any specials letters in the french index.php: février ->> fevrier but i always have the display problem.

so can you tell me in witch file those modules goes to keep the french word because it appear that is not in /components/com_jcalpro/languages/french/index.php...

thanks for answer

EDIT
JCal 1.6.176
joomla 1.5.1
mysql 5
php 4

I agree with you (bonjour de Bordeaux !) because I have the same problem and I am still waiting for an answer regarding this problem.

It's definitely an encoding issue.  Minical and the yearly view that is based on it both use the php strftime function to get the month name in the currently set locale.  The problem is that strftime uses ISO-8859-1 Encoding, not UTF-8.

In Firefox (Windows), I was able to go to the view menu, character encoding, and change it to "Western (ISO-8859-1)" and the page suddenly showed the accents.  I don't speak French, so I don't know if the names were correct, but it was no longer showing invalid characters.

If your php has the iconv module installed (mine does, but I don't know if it's standard), you can replace the lines:

Code:

$params = array(
'{PREVIOUS_MONTH}' => ucwords(strftime($lang_date_format['month_year'], mktime(0,0,0,$date['month']-1,1,$date['year']))),
'{PREVIOUS_MONTH_URL}' => $info_data['previous_month_url'],
'{CURRENT_MONTH}' => ucwords(strftime($lang_date_format['month_year'], mktime(0,0,0,$date['month'],1,$date['year']))),
'{NEXT_MONTH}' => ucwords(strftime($lang_date_format['month_year'], mktime(0,0,0,$date['month']+1,1,$date['year']))),
'{NEXT_MONTH_URL}' => $info_data['next_month_url'],
);

in /components/com_jcalpro/includes/minical.php

with

Code:

$params = array(
'{PREVIOUS_MONTH}' => ucwords(iconv('ISO-8859-1', 'UTF-8', strftime($lang_date_format['month_year'], mktime(0,0,0,$date['month']-1,1,$date['year'])))),
'{PREVIOUS_MONTH_URL}' => $info_data['previous_month_url'],
'{CURRENT_MONTH}' => ucwords(iconv('ISO-8859-1', 'UTF-8', strftime($lang_date_format['month_year'], mktime(0,0,0,$date['month'],1,$date['year'])))),
'{NEXT_MONTH}' => ucwords(iconv('ISO-8859-1', 'UTF-8', strftime($lang_date_format['month_year'], mktime(0,0,0,$date['month']+1,1,$date['year'])))),
'{NEXT_MONTH_URL}' => $info_data['next_month_url'],
);

and it seems to show the accents for me.  This may not work on all servers, and since I don't speak French, I don't know if it's working as it should, but hopefully it will point someone in the right direction for more fixes/bugtesting.  The iconv function will probably need added in other spots in other files as well.

super !!! you are the chief
i known that was comming from this code but was not able to resolve the probem... 

so i think that for the last event module is the same thing. i have just to find the right line to insert iconv function if you find it before me, think at me by posting your discover here, it will be so helpfull 

thanks a lot.

i have found the code to modify.

in /modules/mod_jcalclient_latest/mod_jcalclient_latest.php on line 226 replace

Code:

if ( (($start_daynumber == $end_daynumber) && ($start_month == $end_month) && ($start_year == $end_year)) || $no_end_specified ) {
        // January 30, 2007 (08:00 - 10:00)
        $returnstring = strftime($EXTCAL_CONFIG['date_format'],mktime($start_time_array[0],$start_time_array[1],0,$start_date_array[1],$start_date_array[2],$start_date_array[0]));
    $returnstring .= ( $EXTCAL_CONFIG['show_times'] ) ? ' (' . $start_time . ( ($EXTCAL_CONFIG['show_times'] == 3 || $no_end_specified) ? '' : ' - ' . $end_time ) . ')' : '';
      } else {
        $temp_start = strftime($EXTCAL_CONFIG['date_format'],mktime($start_time_array[0],$start_time_array[1],0,$start_date_array[1],$start_date_array[2],$start_date_array[0]));

    } else {
          $returnstring = $temp_start . ' - ' . $temp_end;
    }
      }
