UTF-8 for new documents

[gistolero]

Hello,

is it possible to define UTF-8 as default enconding (character set) for new documents?

When I create a new (TXT, HTML, XML) document with the web-interface,  UTF-8 should be preselected in the list of encodings.

Is it possible to configure this behavior?

Thanks
Simon

Yes. In your web-client-config-custom.xml add this section:

   <config evaluator="string-compare" condition="Content Wizards">
      <!– default encoding when creating new inline content
           if not set then server default charset encoding will be used –>
      <default-encoding>UTF-8</default-encoding>
   </config>

Hello Kevin,


Alfresco 2.1 here. Added the above section in my web-client-config-custom.xml file but didnt work. Still preselects Big5.

Has this issue been fixed only on 2.9 or does it work on 2.1 and I'm doing smth wrong?

meh, i guess we should wait for the final 2.9 then and then upgrade. Till then I found a workaround on that with creating a script that changes the encoding of new content into UTF-8.


Anyways, thanks a lot for your input Kevin.

I checked those config modifications - work on r1672, and latest svn revision. And you were right - they don't work on 2.1.
