Hello.

I have a problem with import from G1 to G2. After import i see broken localized strings in titles and descriptions. Source encoding is cs_CZ 8859-2 but I tested some others too (1250, UTF, ...).

Do you have some idea how can I fix it? Thx.

My Gallery is yesterday's CVS, G1 is v1.5. System is Debian Sarge 3.1. Apache 2.0.54-4, PHP 4.3.10-15 and mysql 4.1.11a-4.

Same problem on other system, same versions of Gallery, but Debian SID (unstable), Apache 1.3.33-7, PHP 4.4.0-1, mysql 4.0.24-10.

Tested in Firefox 1.06 and Opera 8.x.

Example of result: Kulturní dům a přilehlé Loštice

Could you provide links to your G1 and G2 for me? These problems are best diagnosed by looking at the pages. Also, do you know if you have iconv, mb_string, or recode in your php?

so i had a two problems:

1. some text was encoded in win1250, i dont know why, maybe some upload from Remote Gallery on other computer

2. there was an entities instead of localized characters - resolution is migration with "raw html" marking

thx to jmullan and mindless for their support :)

btw after migration you must stay with "raw html" marking, because G2 can't convert html (include entities) to text :/
