    Problems with some central european characters content creating

    Hi, I have just installed ATutor 1.5.2 on Linux, PHP 4.1, with no problems.
    I left all default settings - especialy languages. I left only english.

    I tried to use visual editor to insert new pages. I wanted to use some central european characters in those pages. When I wrote them, there was no problem in displaying them, but when I clicked Save button, large part of my text disappeared. After few tries I realized, that disappeared whole text after few central european characters, but not all of them. I had problems with characters coded as š or ž but no problem with characters like ĕ etc.

    I also tried it in demo application on www.atutor.ca, there was no problem with those characters.

    I would really appreciate any hint, how to solve this problem.

    Thanks much.

    Upgrade PHP. The minimum requirement is 4.3

    Sorry for wrong information, I have already instaled PHP version 4.3.10-16 from stable Debian release. The version of MySQL is 4.1.

    See the TinyMCE site ragarding enabling language packs for it:
    http://tinymce.moxiecode.com/

    The ATutor language pack for that language should also be installed, and enabled when you are creating content.

    It seems that problem is solved. There was no problem with language pack.

    In file include/lib/tinymce.inc.php, where are TinyMCE settings stored, should be configuration option:
    entity_encoding : "raw"
    or
    entity_encoding : "numeric"

    Setting entity_encoding : "named" which is also default, does not work and causes problem mentioned in first post.

    This solution does not depends on setting language of ATutor os TinyMCE.
