  content encoding

  When creating, editing etc content in my native language (greek - iso-8859-7) the greek text is saved encoded.
  For instance, the greek 'a' is stored as &alpha. This doesn't have any effect in the viewing, presentation, export etc of the content, but it messes up the search. In order to find for instance the word 'ka' i would have to enter in the filter: '&kapa&alpha'. if i enter 'ka' it doesn't find anything...
  
  I believe i have to change the encoding in the embedded html text editor. is that right?
  if yes, where from can i do that???
  
  Things to describe:
  operating system - Ubuntu 7.04
  version of ATutor - 1.5.5
  versions of php - 5.2.1
  version of mysq l - 5.0.38-Ubuntu_0ubuntu1.1-log
  webserver & version - Linux lamp 2.6.20-16-server #2
  copies of error messages -
  changes to default settings - in table AT_languages, i changed the encoding for the english to iso-8859-7.
  web browser being used - mozilla firefox/explorer
  and anything else relevant -

  Hello,
  
  Did you type in "ka" where "a" is in English? Or did you type in k'alpha'?

  Re: content encoding

  ok! i just saw that in my exaple that the & a l p h a was turnded into . So that must have messed up my example a bit!
  
  My problem is that the greek letters are stored encoded:
  -> & a l p h a
  
  and so when i try to search (filter) searching for '' does not return results, while searching for '& alpha' does....

  tis ok. got it!
  
  you have to open ATutor/jscripts/tiny_mce.js (not tiny_mce_src.js !!!) and change entity_encoding from 'named' to 'raw'
