Problems with character encoding in new cmsms version

[kendy]

Hi

We have upgraded our test environment to the latest cmsms version, but are having problems with the character encoding for Eastern european languages: polish/Czech - it displays like this>> ?r�d?

If we manually paste the text from Word into tthe cms and resave, it then formats correctly...

The previous (in production) environment works fine..seems only to be an issue since the upgrade.

any ideas..??

Any help much appreciated!

I think that you can solve your problems without waiting v1.6 - just re-read that topic.

Good luck,

Hi all

I am pleased to report the solution to the problem: thanks http://www.netplace.de/

The problem was due to missing code in the 1.5 release.
1) Copy adodb.functions.php.patch to /web/servers/WEBSITE.com/docs
2) cd /web/servers/WEBSITE.com/docs
3) patch -p0 Global Settings -> Clear Cache

MISSING LINES OF CODE...
+       if ($config['dbms'] == 'mysql')
+        {
+                $dbinstance->Execute('SET NAMES utf8;');
+                #print_r ($dbinstance->Execute('show variables like "%charact%";')) ;
+        }

I hope this helps someone..!!
