[Solved] Strange character before £ symbol...

[R12NDS 0]

I have just started using this CRM software and despite it being a little tricky, i am getting there.

 

I am just trying to create a template document and when it displays the 'invoice lines' i am getting the following displayed:

 

£1022.50

 

I have searched the forums and added a few bits of code which was recommended. I shouldn't have to do a download as this was only installed yesterday?!?!

 

Please help if you can. Thanks.

Did you ever fix this as I am also getting the same result before the pound sign ?

Cheers,

I believe I've resolved this issue. After you update to the next release, please let me know if your problem persists.

Thanks Raymond,

 

Any idea when the next release is due please ?

 

If it's any help, I noticed that if I force the Character Encoding to Unicode in Firefox it is fine, but when I reload the 'print invoice' report the encoding goes back to 'Western' and the problem returns.

 

Cheers,

GB.

The next release should be available in about two weeks, no hard date yet for the next release. The fix is exactly as you mention: I've explicitly set the encoding in the header. If you'd like to patch your instance, you can apply the following diff to protected/modules/quotes/controllers/QuotesController.php

        public function actionPrint($id) {
+               header('Content-type: text/html; charset=utf-8'); 
                echo $this->getPrintQuote($id);
                return;
        }
