Hello and greetings,

I'd like to get charset var added in directadmin.conf

Now we have

Code: 
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1252">

in /usr/local/directadmin/data/skins/SKIN_NAME/header.html

And I'd like you to replace direct "windows-1252" with a token, which would be defined in directadmin.conf

As we use different encoding on our pages, we should always to change the file manually.
 
Hello,

I looked at this request to start implementing it, but quickly realized we've already got tools for this, because "|LANG_ENCODING|" is already a variable, stored on a per-language basis, eg:
/usr/local/directadmin/data/skins/enhanced/lang/en/lf_standard.html

to still use our skin, and our English pack, but change the charset, do:
Code: 
cd /usr/local/directadmin/data/skins/enhanced
echo "LF_STANDARD=lf_standard2.html" > files_custom.conf
cd lang/en
cp lf_standard.html lf_standard2.html
and edit lf_standard2.html, and set:
Code: 
LANG_ENCODING=windows-1252
That will be safe from updates too.

With it, the only thing you need to watch out for (very very rarely) when we make additions to lf_standard.html, you'd need to add the additions to lf_standard2.html.

Hello John,

Thanks for your guide and link. It works for other skins too.

We're currently using /usr/local/directadmin/data/skins/power_user/ skin, and the skin had no lang directory, and header.html had no "|LANG_ENCODING|". Does it get updated together with enhanced skin on new directadmin release? I guess no...

So I've copied lang/en directory from enhanced skin and updated header.html file, I've got now

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
Click to expand...


And header.html starts the following way:

Code: 
# head /usr/local/directadmin/data/skins/power_user/header.html
|LF_STANDARD|
|LF_IMAGES|
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=|LANG_ENCODING|">
<title>|HOSTNAME| - |DEAMONNAME| v|VERSION|</title>

        <script language="JavaScript">
        <!--
        //timer for auto-logout


One issue we met at first, as the language was set to ru (not en), encoding was displayed as none, and in Enhanced skin we saw a lot of none instead of regular words of navigation... So

Code: 
#cp -r lang/en lang/ru

brought everything in order.

Thanks again.
 
Another way of doing it (which would work for power_user) would be to use this:
http://help.directadmin.com/item.php?id=295

on the header.html, eg:
Code: 
cd /usr/local/directadmin/data/skins/power_user
cp header.html header2.html
perl -pi -e 's/windows-1252/UTF-8/' header2.html
echo "HTM_HEADER=header2.html" > files_custom.conf
I'm not too sure about bringing the LANG tokens into power_user.. but use whatever works for you.
