Hi,

I just want to know if I'm missing something while doing the export/import process with my table.

I've everything working just fine with my online version (I'm using accents as all my content its in Spanish). Everything works just fine on my website.

However, when I export my records and import it again, all my accents came with strange characters, I'm sure this has something to do with the encoding during the process. I just want to know if there's something I need to check/do before importuning my records again in order to prevent those strange characters to appear.

Thanks for pointing me to the right path.

Hi Jesus, 

I'm guessing that the charset is getting modified sometime during the process.  

Can you try changing this setting in csvImport.php from:

  'ENCODING'              => 'CP1252', 

to the following:

  'ENCODING'              => 'UTF-8', 

And let me know if that resolves it for you.

If it doesn't, can you attach a small file I can test importing, exporting, and re-importing to recreate the issue?  Thanks!
