Hi Tomaz,

All Joomla original files are western european encoded by default (I don't want to change all files...)

My template files are all utf8 (western european by default)
Btw I've also try the default Joomla templates

I've convert all the JXtable component files to utf8

My database Connection Collation is utf8_unicode_ci (was utf8_general_ci)

The table (and column) wich contain the data I retreive with your component is utf8_unicode_ci. (When I look in phpMyadmin all the characters are ok in table view)
** To change the default collation I've use :
ALTER TABLE jos_chronoforms_FORM CONVERT TO CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_unicode_ci;

All other Joomla tables are utf8_general_ci

All the french text data (with èàéç character) in the site is displayed correctly, including the initial view of the page displaying the JXtable component. The problem is only visible when I sort by clicking on the field title name.

What are my options?

1. Convert all Joomla tables to utf8_unicode_ci?
2. Ask my hosting admin to check the charset config in Apache?
3. ???

You wrote that the problem might came from the Ajax process.
What can you do to check if it's the case?

Thanks in advance

Julie

I'll check it. And you, check your e-mail.

Julie,

After some research, I assume, that your server settings (probably in .htaccess file) are set so, that default enconding is other than utf-8.
So whenever page communicates with server through javascript (not through joomla's index.php) this problem occurres, because meta tag is not set.

Our component is changed, so it doesn't depend on this server setting any more.

In other words - problem solved. And hopefully there won't be any encoding problems after next release.

Yes!!!

Thanks you for your really good support!

You make my day!
