Re: [mapguide-users] RES: Widget Label Accentuation not working

Hi Liglio,

I'm sending you a response from Gemini. The 2019 server is possibly the
cause.


Try these solutions propose by Gemini

 

1.

 

Configure IIS to Force UTF-8 (via web.config)

 

If you are using IIS on Windows Server 2019, IIS may force the
application/x-javascript or text/html encoding to ANSI/Windows-1252. You can
force it to use UTF-8 by adding or modifying the web.config file in the root
directory of your MapGuide site (often in C:\OSGeo\MapGuide\Web\www\).

 

Add (or merge) this section into your web.config to force global decoding to
UTF-8:

 

<configuration>

  <system.web>

    <globalization 

      requestEncoding="utf-8" 

      responseEncoding="utf-8" 

      fileEncoding="utf-8" />

  </system.web>

</configuration>

 

 

 

2.

If you can't or don't want to modify the server files, you can work around
the problem directly in your widget's XML using a CDATA block.

Since Maestro automatically converts the code &#227; to ã during a standard
save, the CDATA block will "hide" the HTML entity so that Maestro saves it
as is, without modifying it.

In Maestro, right-click on your Flexible Layout (or your Widget) and choose
Edit as XML.

Find the tag for your Label or Tooltip.

 

Write it exactly like this:

 

<Label><![CDATA[Vis&#227;o]]></Label>

 

Save.

 

This way, Maestro stores the raw Vis&#227;o value. When the browser displays
the widget, it will decode the code &#227; itself. in ã, regardless of the
encoding quirks of the Windows server.

 

Regards,

 

Pierre

Hi Pierre,

 

It did not work here, I did the same with widget QuickPlot, edited the label
to Quick Ploã and the result is Quick Plo?

Mapguide installed in a windows server 2019.

Hi Liglio,

 

 

Environment : Windows11, MapGuide 3.1.2.9484, Firefox, Edge, Chrome,
MapGuide Maestro 6.0m12

 

I dit some tests with the widget QuickPlot. I added ã at the end of the
Label and of the Tooltip.

<Label>Quick Plotã </Label>

<Tooltip>Click to create a plot quicklyã </Tooltip>

 

The results are ok.



 

 

It appears that your custom widget is the cause of the problem.

Regards,

Pierre

Hi Pierre,

 

The widget is edited through Maestro at Web Layout Flexible. I suppose it is
saved in the library, then the Fusion Viewer parses this XML to create the
Widget.

I already tried to replace ã with &#227; same result. Maestro converts
&#227; to ã when the widget is saved. This is a parser problem in Fusion, or
some configuration to made.

Regards,

Hi,


Was your XML file saved using UTF-8 encoding?

or

Have you try to replace ã with &#227; 

(Visão to Vis&#227;o)

Pierre

Hi,

 

I tried to use accentuation in a custom Widget at Label or Tooltip but is
not working, despite the encoding="utf-8" in XML.

Words like Visão are displayed Vis?o. Maybe the parser it is not applying
the right encoding. Can I correct this ?
