I've integrated G2 in Mambo. It's working fine.

My Problem : Selecting G2 in my Menue, the "German Umlaute" doesn't work in my Mambo Template..

Is there a charset-problem ?

correct. it's a charset problem. you'll have to use the charset from G2 in mambo, maybe you'll have to edit the mambo <head> part of the templates.

How I can use the charset from G2 (UTF-8 ??) in mambo... ?

Where I can find the mamo <head> part of the template ?

This is a mambo question. And I don't know much about mambo. Just edit whatever is needed in mambo to get the utf-8 charset in the html <head> part instead of another charset.

this is the charset G2 needs in the <head> part:

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"/>

Hi,

use the html code for the umlaut-characters. For example & instead of ü.
You can use it for the modul description (mambo menue), links etc. too.
It works fine on my homepage. So mambo can use iso-8859-1 and gallery can use utf-8.

Now posted in 3 topics, i hope these helps. I'm happy that it works.

Alas if you wish to have a random picture with a page of news requiring iso-8859-1 it is not working.
It displays well until any G2 module/component is loaded. It has been a full month I have tried to understand why my Mambo was not managing well special characters.
Actually that's all about G2 integration. I regret I have only figured it now. :|

I've although installed the random picture modul, i use it on the homepage. And it works fine! On Homepage and Gallery the Browser changes the code to utf-8, on the other pages the Brower uses iso-8859-1. Alway I see the correct "german umlaute".

Only the navigation path on the top shows G&amp;auml;stebuch instead of Gästebuch.
But the Menü and Links. I don't know why, but it's not so important.
If anybody know why, please tell me.
