[Plugin: phpBB Topics Portal] Any way to parse the characters using a different encoding?

Actually it should work with any character set. The code php code that parses and formats the list doesn’t make any distinction about character set. Are you still having the problem? Can you post your web site URL?

i have a same problem like unknownx.
i use a koren and my db is a utf-8

in my hone you can see the odd chracter in second wodget below.
that is used by the phpbb topics portal.

how i remedy this?

thanks for reading a my short english

Find this code in phpbb_topics_portal_Gugs.php

// open a phpBB connection
   if (!isset($connphpBB_b) || ($connphpBB_b === FALSE)) {
       $connphpBB_b = mysql_connect($dbhost,$dbuser,$dbpasswd,TRUE);
      $returnvar_b['connphpBB'] = $connphpBB_b;
   }

and add one line to set the char set to UTF8

as follows:

// open a phpBB connection
   if (!isset($connphpBB_b) || ($connphpBB_b === FALSE)) {
      $connphpBB_b = mysql_connect($dbhost,$dbuser,$dbpasswd,TRUE);
      mysql_set_charset('utf8',$connphpBB_b);
      $returnvar_b['connphpBB'] = $connphpBB_b;
   }

Will try to update version with this fix.

I released a new version 1.2 which fixes this and a couple of other things I noticed.

Thank a lot
My homepage is fine.

thanks again.
