My question then is how do I make sure that all encodings > submiitted from forms are in the correct UTF8 format? Regards Use ensure that the HTML page uses UTF-8 as encoding (either using <meta-equiv...> within the HTML page or by sending content-type: text/html; charset=utf-8 as HTTP header.I have taken this a little further after trying all suggestions in the thread with no success and looked into zope.conf, specifically: # Directive: default_zpublisher_encoding # # Description: # This controls what character set is used to encode unicode # data that reaches ZPublisher without any other specified encoding. # # Default: iso-8859-15 # # Example: # # default_zpublisher_encoding utf-8 As my pages all report as iso-8859-15 I thought a change here would help, but this happens: from OFS.content_types import guess_content_type Error: 'default_zpublisher_encoding' is not a known key name It works on this: Zope Version (Zope 2.9.0, python 2.4.2, win32) And fails on this: Zope Version (Zope 2.9.0-, python 2.4.5, linux2)
Totally wrong approach modifying the zpublisher encoding here. As said you have two options:
- <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /> with in your HTML. <tal:call define="dummy python: request.RESPONSE('content-type', 'text/html;; charset=utf-8')" /> within your template
The Second solution is known to work across all browsers reliably. -aj
