Hey everyone, I was wondering if anyone had an idea where I could change the charset for ProductCart. My store will operate in Turkish so I have to translate the dictionary file and if I don't change the charset to windows-1254 or iso-8859-9, I won't be able to use the extra characters in this alphabet. I added it in the include-metatags.asp as: Response.Write "<TITLE>" & Title & "</TITLE>" & vbcrlf & _ "<META NAME=""Description"" CONTENT=""" & mtDescription & """>" & vbcrlf & _ "<META NAME=""Keywords"" CONTENT=""" & Keywords & """>" & vbcrlf & _ "<META NAME=""Robots"" CONTENT=""index,follow"">" & vbcrlf & _ "<meta http-equiv=""Content-Type"" content=""text/html; charset=iso-8859-9"">" & vbcrlf & _ "<META NAME=""Revisit-after"" CONTENT=""30"">" & vbcrlf but that didn't really seem to do anything. Thanks in advance, Egemen |

Just add your extra meta tag(s) directly to the header.asp file. ------------- NetProfits Internet Consulting Certified ProductCart Developer http://www.nicwebdesign.com" rel="nofollow - Our Site |

hi,I thought it might work and gave it a shot yesterday, but no dice  When I open the languages.asp in dreamweaver, I can see the characters just fine, but when I open say the login page on my browser, the text fed from the dictionary shows up with letters from the english alphabet. ( 'i' without the dot on top becomes 'i' etc.) |

Sorry, I thought the problem was getting the meta tag to show in the HTML properly. I didn't realize the problem was with you encoding. Character encoding is a really tricky subject. You may want to review some articles on the web about it. Here is one we found really helpful: http://www.sitepoint.com/article/guide-web-character-encoding - http://www.sitepoint.com/article/guide-web-character-encodin g ------------- NetProfits Internet Consulting Certified ProductCart Developer http://www.nicwebdesign.com" rel="nofollow - Our Site |

Thanks for the link. I think I figured it out. Took me over a day and a half, but finally I managed to get the characters to show up correctly. All I had to do in the end was add " Session.CodePage = 1254 " in the beginning of pcStartSession.asp d'oh! Peace, Egemen |
