I already have installed joomla 1.0.7 with codification utf8,I also have installed the component community builder rc2 as the plugin of the greek version (utf8) when I am trying to update my profile settings in greek and for example I change my name in greek it gives me back the following characters “ £Î±Î¼Î±ÏÎ¬Ï Î§Î±ÏάλαμÏοÏ
ΣαμαÏÎ¬Ï Î§Î±ÏάλαμÏÎ¿Ï “ which never happens in version of component community builder rc1,the same thing exactly happens on the website www.joomlapolis.com when I am trying to change my name in greek.Is there solution for this problem so I can use the right greek characters on the user’s profile ?

thanks

Help!!! I inserted the line

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />

suggested above and after I saved it a parse error occured. It reads :

Parse error: parse error, unexpected '<' in /home/.cammomile/prodoggy/prodoggy/language/japanese.php on line 414

and I cannot even access the backend. How do I get back in and delete that line?

Help please..site is down indefinitely:(

Nevermind...that was a close one..went into ftp and manually edited it through notepad.

However I still would like to fix my problem when entering fields in Japanese. Does that line I attempted to insert above fix the problem of wingdings being entered in instead of the actual japanese characters?

howdy there.
quick and dirty solution is available through my site, i have tried securing the db while removing HTML entities from the original code, until Beat B. get it straight and clean.
you can find the Greek-ready version of RC2 from www.feddyups.net, Side projects section.

Feel free to post if it has worked for you, and if you have any suggestions for making it even better.
