How can to change - create the "categories" with Greek characters
I have (as newbie) new question. Blush

How can to change - create the "categories" with Greek characters? Is it possible this, or then it will be destroyed the Script Links2?

Every time when I'm trying to create category with greek characters , it appears the red word "Invalid" (If I remember correct the message...).

Thank you

I'm sorry, but I dont understand. Also my english knowledge it is very bad.

1. Is it possible to write the "categories" with greek characters or not?

2. If the answer is "yes", then how and where can to modify any? In any .cgi file by txt editor? On Administration menu?

There is any different-additional file which may to download from www.gossamer-threads.com/downloads_area ?

Thanking in advance

There were some probs, so I prefer english mod to create my "Links engine" - by changing the templates (html pages)

Believe me, it works: I have a Japanese Links installation, and there are no problems.

Don't forget to change the metatags in your templates to your language code:

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1253">

Ok. But.. because I am newbie (on cgi scripts generally) I will try to learn enough about the "Links 2 Engine" in english mod, and after .. when Iwill genie, I will try also in Greek.

Yes, I was carefull with this. Have a look pleas at :
http://www.hellenic-schools.gr/cgi-bin/links/add.cgi




But , my question about "name" ... the problem it is on the form.
On field "name"
Are you sure ? The solution which you propose, have solve about "name" field?

This codepage (1253) in the ...\templates\email.html solves the problem in the field "name" and allowed to the visitors to sign in greek?




Thanks again

In some html templates (4-5) until now, yes and they workink fine (except categories... I thought if it is good solution to names the categories by numbers - [we talk before about the "prob" in greek characters.] - for example 01, 02 , 03 ... and the description in greek, but finally I see ... this is not functional...)

Next 2-3 hours I will try to change next 15-18 templates (including email.html)

Thanks (until next question :-)

That's because the template set you use includes the lastlink mod. You have to add the following codes to sub site_html_home in site_html_templates.pl:

lastlink => $lastlink,

In subscribe page...

http://www.hellenic-schools.gr/.../links/subscribe.cgi

the "name" area it is not accepting different characters from english.For example greek names. The answer is "invalid"....

This problem will solve by german version (as "categories" problem) or it is need something else?
