KVS Posted June 16, 2010 Report Share Posted June 16, 2010 Hi all,this is my first post and I would first like to thank you for a fantastic product. I've installed ver.8 from fresh and it works fine and performs a lot better then expected So, to my little problem. There's an option in TNG to chosse to show all surnames in capital letters, which I'm using. It works fine apart from the norwegian Æ, Ø and Å which it displays as normal lower case letters æ, ø and å.The installation is fully UTF-8 and I do not have this problem elsewhere.What can I do to fix this?http://www.myroots.no Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theKiwi Posted June 16, 2010 Report Share Posted June 16, 2010 If I go to this pagehttp://www.myroots.no/tng/surnames-all.php?tree=MyRootsI see this nameOLSON SÆLEwith the Æ showing as expected and this nameCHRISTIANSON PETERØDwith the Øall in upper case as expected. Do you see something different?Roger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you see something different?RogerYes, I can see the same as you, maybe because all letters are in capital, I don't know.But if you look at http://www.myroots.no/tng/search.php?mylas...mp;tree=MyRoots I have a difference in the letters.

KVS Posted June 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2010 When a save the surname in CAPITAL letters it shows up as all capital, no problems. The problem is that all the surnames are saved as per normal, ie. Sæle, and it will be a big task to change them all.The collation is set to UTF8-general, there's no option for UTF8-norwegian, believe it or not Is this the problem?I don't have any problems leaving the surnames in a normal state, but since TNG hars the option to make it all capitals I thought I'll give it a go.

theKiwi Posted June 17, 2010 Report Share Posted June 17, 2010 A fix for this has been found and I've tested the changes Darrin made - it all seems to work now.The fix should be available from the TNG Downloads page, as part of a revised Patch 8.0.0 file by tomorrow (Thursday 17 June) morning.Roger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The surnames I've imported from a gedcom-file have the same behaviour: capital ÆØÅ are displayed as æøå. The ones I've made directly in TNG are ok. Unforthnually I can't show you the page, because I use a local server with no connection to www.My TNG is setup with danish ISO-8859-1...hopefylly this can help...

When they're written in capital letters in the database, this is not an issue.Like the person above, I use the ISO-8859-1 but in norwegian. I haven't tried changing the standard to UTF8 yet, mostly because I'm unsure how to do this (used the readme.html file when setting it up, but I've deleted that file now).
