Isn´t there anybody there that is using text in any language that has special characters or accented letters like spanish, german, french, etc... that can confirm that they are or are not properly being displayed in mod_recenttopics 2.0?
Replacing that with the Utf line you mentioned doesn´t solve the issue.
Concerning the database, if i look with MySQLFront at the database properties, i see that Character Set is "latin1", while nothing is selected in the "Collation" list. If i change the Character set from "latin1" to "utf8" nothing seems to change :-(
You can find this info on Simplemachines.org some extra info Convert both data and database tables to UTF-8 character set (do this also with your Joomla database, for beter intergration)
Syntax
void ConvertUtf8 ()
Notes
* requires the admin_forum permission. * uses the convert_utf8 sub template of the Admin template. * only works if UTF-8 is not the global character set. * supports all character sets used by SMF's language files. * redirects to ?action=maintain after finishing. * is linked from the maintenance screen (if applicable). * accessed by ?action=convertutf8.
I don´t think you are helping me much by just suggesting that i make a massive change in my Joomla and SMF database, without explaining why this is needed, and now pointing me just to the definition of a function of the SMF API, which happens to be a function that is already used inside the SMF code, making your suggestion even more confusing.
Please can you be a little bit more ellaborate on what you know, if you are sure that you have the solution to my problem?
thank you NiCo
P.D: Nobody else is using a language with accented letter or umlauts, such as Spanish, French, Scandinavian languages, etc...? Nobody else is having my problem?
I gave you two options one for the template the other to check your SQL. an I pointed you to the Simplemachines forum. It is not on me That you not read this on that site There is a lot writen on the SMF board
Unfortunately, as per the document, this change doesn´t apply to me, because both of the languages i offer in my site are of the same character set: Spanish and English are both ISO-8859-1
So that means my problem comes from something else.
