Rotation script error

[rojaba]

the rotation script seems to be causing java errors in my browser. Is there anyway of switching off rotation without losing the entire headline box?

I've also have this problem...

Problem with rotating headlines can appear if you amend the .tpl file behind it (headlines.tpl), or if you use non-english characters that are not in utf-8 format.

If non of this is the reason, submit a support ticket on HelpDesk.

Yes I'm using non english charset. But I also tried english version. Error is going on...

Error line is 85
Error is object required...

i have this problem too, just to tell you what happen, when i use utf-8 charset everything is ok, rotation is working well, if i write in Greek(iso-8859-7) or win-1235 charset rotation dont work anymore, searched a lot in tpl files and lang files, i maded english lang file to win-1235 charset greek characters diplay normal but rotation gets error in line 85, reason: object requires, dont know if you have a solution for that would be great !

Thanks

This is often the problem that happens because WYSIWYG editor inserts special characters by their entity name (for example " £…), but XML doesn’t parse them by their name, instead it requires their entity number (" ; £ ;…), and this is where AJAX crashes and blocks headline rotation.

In HTML_function character encoding is included, however the list is not complete.

To fix this, in your HTML_function somewhere around line 1857 (// XML special chars problem) you need to replace entire list of existing characters with the list in the attachment.

This is complete list of ISO-8859-1 (Latin-1) characters, and after you replace the existing list, headline rotation should function properly.

Hope this helps. :)

thank you very much, at this moment its not working yet. maybe cause greek uses ISO-8859-7 and not ISO-8859-1 ? hope we will fix this

Yes I also tried it but it didn't work... It seems a java script problem at me. and I use ISO-8859-9 charset.

[cyberghoser1]

Well if someone of the devs or anyone has a solution we will be very happy.

Problems with other charsets are being resolved, hopefully we'll find acceptable solution very soon :)

[cyberghoser1]

well i hope very soon :) , btw i know a lot of changes have been done from version 3.25 to 3.40 but in 3.25 the rotation works with greek charset, i checked both version's html_function files but in XML special charcters problem section there is a bigger list in the 3.40 version of script.So i'm lost i dont know what to do anymore.I'm waiting the staff to fix that.

[90doksun]

cyberghoser1 is right. in 3.25 it works but 3.4 it doesnt... i think its a very simple problem. but who can find it...
