MySQL tables are UTF8, forum is ISO. How to change?

(1/3) > >>

f00ty:
Hi,

the situation: in phpMyAdmin all the tables in my smf database are in format utf8_unicode_ci. However, when I check my forum source code when it has loaded, I find this:


--- Quote ---<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1" />
--- End quote ---

How I can change this encoding to be the correct one?

Kindred:
check the manual?

f00ty:
Thanks for the reply, I have read and tried the conversion, but I get the following marks ( I set values so that my encoding is already UTF8, since it is in the database tables. Also tried convert with ISO-setting, it broke also the messages in the forum, not just the theme. See below for further explanation.):

� <- these replace Scandinavian letters. This happens however only to SMF itself and the theme, not the forum posts or anything what is in the mySQL database. How could I fix this?

Kindred:
you will need the utf versions of the language files

f00ty:
Hi, thanks for the help, problem solved. I actually had installed the language files, but they had no effect at first. Then I changed default language to English and then back to language I use, and the problem got solved. :)
