Hi all! I'm new around here (as you can see it's my first post!) and i'd like some help...
It's a little problem that i have, and although i've search a lot around this forum and web in general, i wasn't able to find a solution. I've created a form for a site that is in greek. Firstly, i had a problem with validation while writing in the fields in greek, but that was solved by unchecking the alphas selection. But afterwards, i realized that when i was trying to make a backup of registered users in axcel format, characters that had been written in greek was recognized only as question marks! I tried a lot of possible solutions (even changing the encoding in "admin.chronocontact.php" file but nothing :-( . It's interesting to mention that when i receive the email about the registered user's information, i can see it in greek without any problem.
Does anyone has a different solution to propose? thanx in advance!

Hi hry,
Hard to tell exactly - from memory the Excel write has a utf-8 setting included. You might need to check that in the code. I assume that your database table is also using utf-8 and not a Greek encoding? Might be worth checking that too.

Hi hry,
Check that this line exists - in my version it's at line 1610 of administrator/components/com_chronocontact/admin.chronocontact.php

$sheet =& $xls->addWorksheet($formname.' at '.date("m-d-Y"));
$sheet->setInputEncoding('utf-8'); // add this line Bob
I've already done that. As i told in my first post, i tried to change that encoding to see if any change occurs, but no result 😟
