Subject: re: cbstarter garbles special characters

Matti,

There have been a few posts similar to this which is why I recommend commenting out everything in typo3conf/ext/cbstarter/scripts/localconf.php to disable the file entirely as shown below. This way you still have the benefit of using the extension to edit and add additional extensions to the RealURL configuration file without having to directly alter typo3conf/localconf.php.

For additional RealURL configuration options have a look at this thread here.

Subject: cbstarter garbles special characters

If I install the Cannonbose Sitestarter extension, all my special characters like å,ä,ö are changed to other wierd characters like brackets,chinese signs etc. (in IE6) or black diamonds with a questionmark in them (if I use Firefox). This goes for both the front end pages and the backend pages.

It looks like the cbstarter extension is a must-have so does anyone know how to fix this? I assume it is some kind of UTF8 issue but I have no idea where to even begin troubleshooting this.

Thanks,
