Topic: Left menu scrabbled

[groyk]

Hi

I have installed "Crontab Manager for SME 6.x & 7.x" on my SME-7,3.

After install my left menu is a mess!

A lot of the pages are now under unknown category! Why?

By the way, how do I know if the contribs i install won't make my system unstable.

Kind regards
Simon

This contrib does not support UTF8, have a look in the wiki for a temporary fix (http://wiki.contribs.org/Translations#Outdated_contribs) and try and contact the author to update his contrib to have UTF8 encoded locale.

By the way, how do I know if the contribs i install won't make my system unstable.

The menu being messed up has nothing to do with a stable contrib. If you want to be sure that the contribs is stable and will not mess your server you will have to search for user-experiences in the forums, read the wiki page that most of the time is (and should be) created for it, search for outstanding issues in the bugtracker (and if you reallly know what you are doing audit the source code and see if strange things are likely to appear).

Hi cactus

Thank you for your reply. I have now read the link you refered to, but I don't know if dear to run the script.

Is it possible to do the UTF8 encoding manually?

Probably but it will be a tedious error-prone process. A lot of users have used this script succesfully, just be sure to run it once, there is an improved version I just noticed in the forums which I added to the bugtracker. Mentioned version can be used as many times as you like, you can find it here: http://bugs.contribs.org/attachment.cgi?id=2039

Your question therefore belongs in the Contribs 7.X forum...
