Hello JoomShaper Support,
we’re experiencing a character encoding issue with Dynamic Content in SP Page Builder. German umlauts are displayed incorrectly on detail pages when using the Rich Text field.
Example:
Input in Rich Text: “Müller führt Öl über Äpfel & Grüße”
Expected output: “Müller führt Öl über Äpfel & Grüße”
Actual output on detail page: “Müller führt Öl über Äpfel & Grüße” (or shown as question marks)
Scope:
The issue occurs only with Dynamic Content detail views (Rich Text field).
Standard Joomla articles and other content render correctly.
Site, database, and headers are configured for UTF‑8 (utf8mb4).
Environment:
Joomla: 5
SP Page Builder: 6
Template: Artolio, Mednic... (Quickstart!)
Steps to reproduce:
Create a Dynamic Content collection with a Rich Text field.
Enter text containing German umlauts, e.g., “Ä Ö Ü ä ö ü ß”.
Display the item on a Dynamic Content detail page.
Observe incorrect characters on the detail page output.
Reproduced with default editor (TinyMCE) and without third‑party content filters.
Request:
Please confirm whether there is a known issue with Dynamic Content Rich Text encoding on detail pages.
Provide a patch or guidance to ensure Rich Text is output with correct UTF‑8 encoding in Dynamic Content detail views.
Thank you!
Robert
