description category cannot handle non english letters

[cooletin]

Hello! 

 

I try to add text to the description of categories. This was not a problem before, but now PrestaShop change my Norwegian letters Æ Ø Å to some strange letters. This is simply just there when I go over the products on the front page and not inside the tab. S

 

omeone who can help?

[cooletin]

someone knows ?

 

I cant show the full description in categories too.

you're talking about category page where the description appears? or about some other front office feature?

also, what theme you use and what prestashop version?

[cooletin]

Hello Thanks for answering:)

 

I use prestashop 1.6.0.6 and default theme. 

 

Please look at the pictures. 

 

You can see that my norwegain letter is not showing in the first file.

 

Next problem I have can you see on the other picture. It just shows some lines from the hole text. Is it possible to show the hole text or have a button you can click on to show more text or something?

I don't know about your norvegian language but can tell you about More button. You can't see it because you have white text on white background.

To change it, open category.css and find this code:

.content_scene_cat a {
    color: #FFFFFF;
}

Change it to some other color and you will see link More or Mer in your language.

Thank you so much:)) Just some other problems now. how to fix pictures and descriptions together? I have sub categories, so I have to have some picture there. This looks really strange.I Think I have done something wrong.

First, you have problem with category name which is also white.

To change that, find this code:

.content_scene_cat span.category-name {
    color: #FFFFFF;
    font: 600 42px/51px "Open Sans",sans-serif;
    margin-bottom: 12px;
}

and change color.

 

Category images are actually backgrounds. That's how it's made in 1.6

Images should be in dimensions 870 x 217 px.

Thanks for answer. But it have to be better to just remove this white text? it going over the picture too. This is just a dublicate of the category name and not something I wrote. 

 

The more button going over the picture too. Maybe because of the duplicate text?
