Hi I have a language exchange site that I'm using the UQ mod on, and I have one issue...I have native Japanese, Chinese, Russian, etc. speakers that would love to contribute quizzes for people learning those languages, but when they create quizzes in their languages' respective alphabet characters, it posts all weird.

Is there a code change/addition that I can do to make the UQ mod capable of handling this?

Unfortunately I don't know the answer to this one, I don't know too much about encoding. Sorry

eek

probably could look up and see how phpbb deals with non-english boards and see how they encode thier stuff....just a thought....

yeah, I looked at the encoding field in the forum title and description tables of the db, as I have non-latin characters in both ofthose locations displaying no problem, but they're set to the sam encoding as the quiz tables.

I also tried changing the encoding in the lang_main.php file to "ut8" or whatever it is (unicode 8?), but that didn't help either :/

Other than that, Idon't think I know enough php to be able to figure it out, lol

Well, that was the only thing I thought of, maybe try setting the encoding of the quiz text table to utf8? Naturally, before doing anything to the database you should back up first.

By the way, welcome to the forum justbishop Please do drop by OT Forum and join in the fun

thanks
