is forum needs to be UTF-8 too in this mod?

[bepe]

The mod converts the content of the wiki to the same charset as the forum, so you don’t need to change it.

It works fine on all wiki pages I've tried, but possible that there are some cases where it does not work correctly... I cannot tell for sure, so best would be to set it to UTF-8.

Tell me if you try the mod and find charset problems, then I can try to fix it.

Waiting too much for this

Nice work Bepe!

[silneil]

Im waiting too!

Thanks Bepe!

[Cadellin]

This is probably a daft question but what's the difference between this mod and your other MediaWiki mod?

[bepe]

@Cadellin
Difference to the old mod is that this one works with the new MediaWiki 1.16.
The new MW Vector skin fits much better and there is some nice new stuff coming from the UsabilityInitiative... Also it supports vBulleting 4.0.5 now.

Since even Wikipedia is using 1.16 now, I thought it should be time to switch.

@All
I've made many changes that need to be tested now...
So let’s start the beta testing

BETA means it is BETA! ... Try everything in a test environment first, if there are any problems I'll fix them.

... Let’s get this RC and then FINAL ... and perhaps a bit faster than the last one

I installed it and didn't have a problem during the install. The manual is nice too.

Unfortunately the normal text seems to be as white as the background so i thought i should ask if it uses the forum text color (which would be white in my case) or should i start to take a look in the css files?

[bepe]

Ok, thank you very much for that bug!
I always had black color for the forum, so I did not see it.

You need to edit wiki\skins\vbmediawikivector\main-ltr.css
There add at line 70 to #wikibody this line:

	color:#000000;

The manual is still in development... and would be very nice if someone with good English knowledge could take a look

[Bellethiel]

hehe i thought as much. Thanks :3

[xtremecoders]

bepe nice product my friend.
But I have BIG problem .
I don't Use UTF-8.
So it's impossible to edit or SAVE.

i always getting this message after save...

Your edit has been rejected because your client mangled the punctuation characters in the edit token. The edit has been rejected to prevent corruption of the page text. This sometimes happens when you are using a buggy web-based anonymous proxy service.

How can we bypass the UTF-8 problem without mess the Forum posts. ?

Also editor like yours is NOT included, and i can't find it.

Thanks.
