Can you provide some additional information on this?  This question was posed earlier and I never got anything back so I let it go.  I did some light reading on the web just to familiarize myself with it.  Basically what are you running that is using UTF-8 support, since I may need to set up something similiar to test.

If anyone has any information on this please let me know.  I understand the basic idea of different character coding schemes but I guess I dont see the big picture.

Thanks...

My site is not using UTF-8 but ISO-8859-7
That makes all my articles unreadable in blog-x application(I'm using the windows one)
Also the articles that blog-x posts to the site are posted using utf-8, so they dont appear correctly on the live site.
any suggestions?

alexandrosm...
   ISO-8859-7?? It's all Greek to me! Smiley  Just kidding, just couldn't help myself, please excuse me...  Anyway I may have found a way to implement your character scheme and others as well, but it's going to take some time to work out so please be patient.  Is the database also using ISO-8859-7 or something else?

Thanks...

Chris,

I am also very interested in UTF-8 support. From what I know, I am using standard Joomla 1.0x and just language pack that supports UTF-8 encoding. There are no changes in Joomla source, just the files in language directory.

I even don't know what encoding is in my DB (it is at ISPs server).

When I get posts from site to Blogg-X I got something like screenshot in previous posts. This is probably because you are using Windows encoding in Blogg-X client. If there is some way to tell Blogg-X what encodnig to use when display characters in editor (and also when you want to post something) it would be great!!!

My site is using UTF-8 encoding, in Chinese.  Now every words in Blogg-X from Joomla will result in garble.  It would be great if Blogg-X support UTF-8.

I agree, lack of UTF-8 support is a showstopper for me.

I believe Joomla is gravitating towards UTF-8, and UTF-8 is also kind of a requirement if you're going to combine third party programs such as Gallery Menalto. Furthermore, UTF-8 support simplifies things a lot if you have a multilingual (Joomfish) site.

I'd put UTF-8 support way up there near the top of the Requested Features list.

Hi Guys,

First of all sorry my poor english. It is not my mother language.
I use Blogg-X 2.12 under Ubuntu Dapper Drake Linux. This distribution use UTF-8 defult character encodings. My hungarian site use ISO-8859-2 encoding. When I post an article, the characters will be messed. Is there any way to set up Blogg-X character encoding to ISO-8859-2?
Thnx!

Laci

Blogg-x App would really be the best mambot for Joomla if it supported Unicode. I mean, if i type vietnamese( like this: Phùng Hoài Phương Việt Nam ), the character will disappear.
Coul you give me some suggestion??
