Problem with greek characters
I have a problem when setting custom fields values in greek language.
If I do that, the filter doesn't work. It just comes up empty (no threads found) every time you select a value from the dropdown list. If I change the values back to english, filter gives results. I think some problem with characters has been reported in the past and a solution has been posted here: http://www.thevbgeek.com/showthread....4716#post14716 but I can see in my template that this change is now included in the default package, so what else might be the cause for this? |

What collation do you have on the gars_custom_values table? Does it match with the ISO-8859-7 charset you are using for the forum? It should probably be greek_general_ci and if it is not, use phpMyAdmin to change it and see if that helps.

I have greek_general_ci in the collation option and iso-8859-7 in the character set.
Anyway, don't bother with this as I will use the default VB forumdisplay template for my gars forums, so I will not be needing the gars filter option. THanks. |

I'm bringing this back up, since I need to use the filter option and I simply can't because of the problem with greek characters. Any ideas what I can do to solve this?
