Thai characters becomes ?????

[vrasak]

Hi All,

I'm a new user to Downloads System Pro.

I'm trying to set category title and description in Thai. After clicking  "Edit Category" button, all Thai sentence will become ? ? ? ?

here is what I keyed in

Code: [Select]

สวัสดี become

Code: [Select]

??????
Is there a way to fix this problem?

Thank you
Weerasak

PS.
I already changed database collation 'latin1_swedish_ci' to 'utf8_general_ci' but it doesn't help.

Just posted an update redownload from download forums that might help.
2.1.7
+Added better support for UTF8 languages

I downloaded "downloadspro2.1.7.zip" but when I upload, it's shown as "Downloads Pro Addon - Display Credits 1.0 " and can not install, there is a error.

Redownload http://www.smfhacks.com/index.php/topic,3489.msg16633.html#msg16633 updated the zip file.

Thank you for quick response.

version 2.1.7a installation success,  but problem character "? ? ? ?" still exist on category title and description.

However, on download page can show Thai sentence correctly, including title, description, comment.

Please suggest what I need to do.

Try making new category/description and see if it still exists.

Ok done. Previously, I missed to change text type of down_cat table, latin1_swedish_ci to uft8_general_ci.
Right now, it works ok.

Thanks so much for your support.
