A few characters are not displaying correctly in JA Wall, such as ellipsis, quotes, apostrophes–and tildes in Spanish text. The problem is particularly bad in photo captions. I think perhaps installing a Spanish language pack will solve some of this problem. But it’s common in English too. See attachments.

On checking my server error logs, I see a number of errors to do with UTF-8. Could this be part of the problem? Any suggestions on fixing these problems?

The problem occurs in captions and headlines, not in the body of articles. Here’s an example of an apostrophe that’s screwed up in a headline:

It seems to be more prevalent in Facebooks, but it happens in blogs too. Here’s an example of a caption where the quote marks are messed up. Look for the article in the center column entitled “Those people” Gazans are not human.

You can fix the problem with my suggestion as follows:

<blockquote>Open templates/ja_wall/html/com_content/article/default.php file</blockquote>
from

<?php echo $this->escape($this->item->title); ?>
change to

<?php echo html_entity_decode($this->escape($this->item->title)); ?>

It didn’t work. The bad characters still display in the introtext, and when I try to open the article, I get a white screen.

The snippet of code appears twice in default.php. I changed both. Any suggestions?

But I’m using JA Social Feed v. 1.0.5. I’ve been using it since October. :((

I just updated new version from our dev version for your site. You can re-check it.

<blockquote>Admin site->Extensions->Plug-in Manager->JA System Social Feed plugin</blockquote>

All special characters (supported UTF-8) are supported on your site.

With the article posted before, i found this solution to fix it.

<blockquote>templates/ja_wall/html/com_content/article/default.php</blockquote>
from

<?php if ($params->get('link_titles') && !empty($this->item->readmore_link)) : ?>
<a href="<?php echo $this->item->readmore_link; ?>">
<?php echo $this->escape($this->item->title); ?></a>
<?php else : ?>
<?php echo $this->escape($this->item->title); ?>
<?php endif; ?>
change to

<?php if ($params->get('link_titles') && !empty($this->item->readmore_link)) : ?>
<a href="<?php echo $this->item->readmore_link; ?>">
<?php echo html_entity_decode($this->escape($this->item->title)); ?></a>
<?php else : ?>
<?php echo html_entity_decode($this->escape($this->item->title)); ?>
<?php endif; ?>
I applied this fix on your site.
