Hi,

seems it does not work right on a german language site.
Check out: www.Sonnabend-edv.de
The module is last on the left, look at the strange characters that replace the german 'Umlaut'.

Any ideas?

Hi,

Sorry for the late reply.

Can you please give me the city name that you've entered so that I can do some test to find out why the garbage characters.

Hi,

if I input 65428 for city, that is what I get. In your GOOGLE WEATHER4 demo, you have "Taipei" as default. If I enter "65428" in WEATHER4 demo, the city is shown correctly, the text is chinese though. :-(

The HTML code for the 'broken' character is ü and the unicode is ü

Like I said, the city name is shown correctly in your GOOGLE Weather4 demo. If I choose language 'de' in the module I have the problems with the Umlaut.

Don't know if these come across correctly in your browser, but the characters would be, among others: ä ö ü Ä Ö Ü

Unicode: ä ö ü etc. Maybe this link will help, if shown correctly in your browser: http://de.selfhtml.org/html/referenz/zeichen.htm

Regards and thanks for the help,

Hi Robert,

Please take a look at http://www.kksou.com/t1510/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=81&Itemid=60

You can see the GoogleWeather displaying the city "65428".

As you can see, the foreign characters displayed ok.

Can you let me know if it's the same on your browser?

Hi,

looks good from here. ;-) Tried it with Firefox and Safari, both seem to work fine. It shows fahrenheit, but I would think that this has no influence on the silly german 'Umlaut'.

Let me know when the updated module is available (or send it to me), I will gladly test it for you.

Hi Robert,

I've changed the unit to using deg C.

The module you've seen actually is using the same module that you've downloaded. I didn't change any code!

So I guess it might be something to do with the joomla template that you've used.

If you have some time, would you mind install a fresh copy of joomla somewhere on your machine. Then install just GoogleWeather and test if you see the same as:
http://www.kksou.com/t1510/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=81&Itemid=60

If the foreign characters appear ok, then try switching to the template that you're using on your site now and see if they appear as garbage characters.

Let me know your findings so that I have more clues as to where might be the problem.

Thanks and Regards,

Hi,

"I've changed the unit to using deg C" don't know what that means.

I tried all default templates, no change. I guess the major difference is, that I am using the german version language files.

Maybe I should install the englisch language files and see what happens. No time for that at the moment though.

Thanks for your help, to bad it's not an easy fix.

Hi,

after trying all kinds of other weather modules, I still find yours by far the BEST!!!!

So how to solve the problem? I installed WAMP on a WINDOWS-PC and installed your greate module. Worked just as expected, no strange characters!!! So I sent a email to my provider and 5 Minutes later, everything worked just fine on my site.

So the problem wasn´t within the module, but the ISO selection on my server.

Sorry for all your troubles and THANK YOU for a realy FANTASTIC module!!!

Hi Robert,

Thanks for the update and sharing with us how you solved the problem.

I'm sure this will save other people a lot of time.

UPDATE: The above mentioned error still occurs with SAFARI! I am running OS X 10.6.2 and SAFARI 4.0.4. FIREFOX works fine under OS X!

In my PARALLELS XP installation, the module works fine under FIREFOX and not at all under IE 8.0 :-(

Just 4 Info!

PS: It would be VERY NICE if clicking on your link in the module would open a new window and not overwrite the activ window!!!
