[SOLVED]Character problem on news section

[richipilot]

Hello,

First thanks for reading, then I want to know how to solve a problem that I´m currently experiencing on my Phpvms news section when I write spanish characters such as accents or the "ñ" character. All the website is set normally and works propelly, local config files are set to UTF-8 and also de database settings.

Something like, "compañía" is transformed in the news section to compa��a

If can I have any help will be appreciated,

Let's try this way...

In the local.config.php.... find this...

Config::Set('PAGE_ENCODING', 'UTF-8');

If not, then add this to your local.config.php / or update as below...

Config::Set('PAGE_ENCODING', 'ISO-8859-1');

Hello thanks for your help;

I have just done that and still not working... I had UTF on that field now I changed it, another thing in the DB to what format should I change it, now is in Spanish UTF-8

Where are you changing the encoding setting on the database? You'll likely need to go all the way to each field to change their encoding, changing just the database/table isn't enough. You'll also then need to correct any errors as they don't get fixed when the encoding is changed - you can do some find/replace magic to fix them all at once.

I´m changing it for phpmyadmin there is one site of encoding there also I put the sentence that Kyle says on the correct file and still the same issue, but only as before in the news section!!
