Using different charsets
The default charset used by Wikka is ISO-8859-1. The following is a hack allowing to use UTF-8 as a default charset.
You can test a modified version of Wikka 1.1.6.2 with this hack at: http://int.wikkawiki.org/∞
Two lines have to be modified in actions/header.php:
original:
- <?php
- $message = $this->GetRedirectMessage();
- $user = $this->GetUser();
modified:
- <?php
- $message = $this->GetRedirectMessage();
- $user = $this->GetUser();
original:
- <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1" />
modified:
- <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />
A similar hack has to be applied to the /raw handler to correctly display the source as unicode. The following change must be done in libs/Wakka.class.php:
original:
- // raw page handler
- elseif ($this->method == "raw")
- {
- }
modified
- // raw page handler
- elseif ($this->method == "raw")
- {
- }

Translating UI strings
The source of Wikka is currently not optimized for UI strings translation, although we are progressively making the code i18n-ready. Most of the new actions and handlers announced on this site already contain a UI string section that can be easily modified. To translate UI strings, edit the constant values without removing the variables (strings introduced by a % sign, like: %d, %s etc.), for example:
