Topic: Czech version - problems with diacritics

When you upload Czech language, you got always problem: Czech signs in messages inserted are not displayed correctly. We have tried it with more than 10 hosts, always having a problem. Coding windows-1250. May we ask Mr Sejrac of what should be a correct setup (what coding) to display the messages correctly?

Re: Czech version - problems with diacritics

HEY YOU, EXPERT, MIGHT YOU HELP ME. A COUPLE OF DAYS, I TRY TO GET AN EASY ANSWER. WHEN I INSTALL THE FORUM AND ADD A CZECH VERSION (CZECH by sejrac), THERE ARE ALWAYS MISTAKES, FORUM WITH ALL CODINGS. WHAT CODing IT REALLY IS? UTF8 - NO, CP-1250 - NO, WINDOWS-1250 - NO UTF8-CZECH, NO... IS THERE ANY UNIVERSAL WAY TO MAKE FORUM DISPLAY THE MESSAGES WITH CZECH DIACRITICS OR IT'S TOTALLY A BULLSHEeT AND NON-FUNCTIONAL CZECH VERSION? I'D BETTER BELIEVE, THAT THIS IS NOT A QUESTION FOR ADVANCED EXPERTS, BUT IT SEEMS, IT IS. make it an easy way, the best way...

Re: Czech version - problems with diacritics

None of you, but I've found an advice from just one - coolhd from Taiwan: I've modified table search_words - changing from varchar to varbinary, then I had to edit file include/dblayer/common_db.php with adding $db->query ("SET NAMES 'cp1250' ") in the last line. Encoding I've changed to cp150_czech... Now we can add new posts with diacritics ?????ýáíé?. Also, old posts are displayed correctly with one exception - the sign '?' is still (old posts) displayed as '?'. But when you enter a new post it is displayed correctly. I'll try to solve this last little problem. Anyway, thanx for all, we've got to help ourselves.
