1: Update list table images to update/down characters
Posted by Khy H on 06/28/23 08:33 PM
We are in the process of upgrading some sites with earlier versions of the OpenACS (< 5.10.x) and have some custom packages with pages using listtables and Bootstap3 themes. After upgrading to OpenACS 5.10.x and Bootstrap 3 theme, the up and down arrows for sorting are displaying not displaying correctly. We reviewed the change and noticed that the images were replaced:

https://github.com/openacs/openacs-bootstrap3-theme/commit/04510a305d4cd9037059a71a0c018f8c7897462e

Is there a setting in the OpenACS/Naviserver to get the arrows to display correctly? Thank you.

The new ordering character is a UTF-8 glyph, which is independent of the themes. Check out for its usage with bootstrap3 on https://openacs.org/forums/forum-view?forum_id=14014

Can it be that the site is using a charset different to UTF-8?

Thank you. We updated the charset in the Naviserver start.tcl and now the up and down glyph displays correctly.

Great. When using plain NaviServer, it is sufficient to comment out the charset settings. For OpenACS, one has to set it [1], since it takes the default charset from the locale settings via [lang::util::charset_for_locale $locale] ...
