Hi!

My first post, is about a problem I came across. Installing acajoom news was easy, as it was getting into the idea of it. But unfortunately, I need to send newsletters in Greek language and not English and all greek characters are displayed as question marks "???". I saw some answers around this forum, about changing character encoding to utf-8, but can someone be more specific about this? Which files need to be changed? I gave it a few tries, but nothing happened... :S

Thanks in advance,
schumacher_

Hi,

try to edit file administrator/components/com_acajoom/classes/class.subscribers.php around line 1669 where the code tries to convet to UTF8 and thus over-writes the UTF8 chars.

Disable thie line and it should work fine.

You mean either

$values[0] = compa::encodeutf(trim($values[0]));

or

$subscriber->language_iso = 'eng';

?

I'm sorry but I don't fully understand php :blush:

I mean the first one

Yeah, that's the line I thought. I deleted the whole line, uploaded the new class.subscribers.php file through ftp, but unfortunately nothing different happened. The greek characters keep being displayed as "?"

Also, I logged in my phpmyadmin panel and saw that every acajoom table had latin1_swedish collation. So I changed it in utf8_generic, hoping it will work, but nothing happened again...

At this moment, I'm using acajoom with class.subscribers.php without the line we mentioned above, and all acajoom tables with utf8_generic collation. What else do I need to do? Is it maybe something else that's causing the problem?

Thanks for the answers and sorry for the continuous questions... :blush:

Hi,

maybe you did change collation of Acajoom tables but this won't work until you actually export all the content and change collations of every field in Acajoom tables also. Than import data back to tables

Thanks for the info!

I finally managed to make it happen! I'm very glad, and of course thank you very much mihha! :woohoo:

I hope everything goes on without any more surprises
