    HI!

    1. Whenever i set up an extra field if the field contains any special characters like in my language (úőűáéóüö)
    only strange charaters are appear.

    I followed this guide: UTF-8 - 68 Classifieds
    Now the spec character are ok in the dropdown extra field, but once the ad is done the resoult is again strange stuffs.

    2. These characters are also only strange chars whenever i put spec chars into the Payment->Manage product.

    Got any idea? The MYSQL is setted up UTF8.
    In the "language".php everything ok except these.


    Thank you

    If you have actually done all of the things listed in the link that you pointed to and it still is not working, it sounds like the only other thing that might cause this is the actual template file that is displaying those fields. e.g. showlistings(2).tpl and viewlisting(2).tpl.

    If you have modified and/or opened these with a text editor that doesn't support UTF-8 encoding, then that could cause these types of display issues. Check the settings of your text editor and ensure that it saves the file as "Plain text" AND with UTF-8 encoding.

    Im editing my files with dreamweaver. Setted up to UTF-8.

    Actually only the extra fields screwed up.

    Others are fine, and nice like a new born baby...
