When I first installed drupal I have set the drupal database in MySQL to be of collation greek_bin.
But my problem is that when I try to add custom menus or even alter the xtemplate.xtmpl to have Greek letters in the alt field then I am seeing in IE UTF-8 not ISO 8859-7 as it should be. What am I doing wrong?
The solution is to remove the lock files by hand. Go into that part of the repository and look for files named "#cvs.lock" or that begin with "#cvs.wfl" or "#cvs.rfl". The waiting CVS processes eventually notice that the lock files are gone and allow the requested operation to proceed.
I wanted to translate a contributed module into French, so I have done as follows:
1) Put the extractor.php script into the Drupal root.
2) created a directory called "transmodules" and copy the weblinks module into that directory (keep everything separate for the moment since it's a first try)
3) execute the script from the Drupal root thus:
c:\php\php extractor.php transmodules\*
