Major Collation Problem

Hi,

I applied the collation tool to a client database. Everything worked well, unfortunately during the conversion some articles were corrupted and now only show a small portion of the content. When replacing the content through the backend admin interface and apply, nothing stays. The additional content is deleted.

Any ideas as to how to fix this? Otherewise I'll have to restore the site and database from backups. A last resort.

Site details: Joomla 1.5.8
PHP: 4.4.7

SOLVED - It was caused by an FCK editor problem.

hi there

I am trying to migrate my site from 1.0 to 1.5
Some components i have to import old bd tables to the new db, as my old site is latin encoded the result is mixed latin/utf


The collocation tool changed all to utf-8 but some tables get tuncated, others work fine

Thing hapend in latin words like "restauração" the result is "restaura"

Can you give some hints on this?

thanks in advance

:( I am testing it with some specific utf-8 characters and get no problems there :( maybe there is some problem with previous encoding ??? :idea: :(
