I don't need the awcs_forum_convert_latin function...

I export the mysql databases from, the forum and replace the wrong diplayed charakters in the posts with the right characters and import it in the database and now it displayed all ok and by new posts the proplem with the charaters is not ... so all is ok by me ...

After uploading the files (was using 2.4.2 with 1.13.0)

the browser is trying to take me to:
http://mysite.com/wiki/awc_urladmin/forum_update

Even if I want to go to
http://mysite.com/wiki/

It just redirects me to
/awc_urladmin/forum_update

which does not exists.

Had to use this link to get to the forum update page
/index.php?title=Speciális:AWCforum/admin/forum_update

Pushed the button "update to 2.5.1" did not do anything on google chrome, but it worked on mozilla.

Options from the languages file went missing so had to us this link to imprort a proper language file
Speciális:AWCforum/admin/awc_lang/display_lang_options 

Importing a language pack did not work, so had to use the "Update language pack" (around the middle)
The language pack I uploaded was:
http://downloads.anotherwebcom.com/wiki/updates/export_en_2009_02_09__19_22_48.txt

Now I could see the menus and options, but the forums character set is bad.
Tried to set to UTF-8 in the general optoins, or to Latin-1 but it did not solved the problem.
The posts are in latin-1 (based on the general settings but never really UTF-8), the forum and category names are in something more worst.

That is the point where i give it up now

thanks for all the feed back, Tester. Its a big help.

Did you try changing the
define('awcs_forum_convert_latin', false);
to true in the config.php file ?

That should fix the character display in the forums and also in the forum tag.

If you didn't try that, please do and change your "UTF-8 in the general optoins" to what ever you had it set at when you had 2.4.2 running.

You should not have to change any chr-set in the admincp, the 'awcs_forum_convert_latin' in the config file is the only change which needs to be made.

Set to true and char set problem solved, but as you pointed out in the PM, the edit box is missing somehow.
Anyway, I am the one who should thank you for your work and help, so thank you

Your welcome.
This forum extension would not have all the options that it does with out the help of you guys (and gals). And when a person has problems and give as much detail (like you did) its a big help.

Anyway...

Yes, i see this and it might have something to do with the extra buttons you PM me about, can you post or PM a link to these buttons.

Also, can you try and re-upload ALL of the forum files from this link.
http://downloads.anotherwebcom.com/wiki/updates/awc_forum_beta_2.5.rar

You do not need to run the update-script, just upload the files and see if the posting box appears.
If might have something todo with an extension you have running or something, your the only person which has this problem, now.

Tester, got your forum working, but its still not right and i do not know what the problem is, also sent you a PM from your forum and the SERVER ERROR is back, will fix that in a bit.

Note to self - added to bottom of box() function in Tester file:
$tplt->add_tplts(array("'post_box'", ), true);

LOL. Google Chrome isn't the best browser. I'm just using it to try it out and lots of scripts don't run on it. I certainly didn't want to imply something was wrong with your update script simply because of Google Chrome. I was just providing more information ...

yea... after you posted about this i test out g-chrome, another member was having problems with a beta IE (have no desire to test out any MS stuff period )...
Not to sound rude, but things like that im not too worried about.
If a person it playing around and testing out things like that im sure they will figure it out and run a "proven" browser.
I would think the g-chrome problem is how the browser deals with javascript, thats whats being used to "disable" the update button after its clicked.

Acouple more tweaks along with the poll_tag.
http://downloads.anotherwebcom.com/wiki/updates/awc_forum_beta_2.5.rar

Alittle info about the skin templates.

If you already have 2.5.1 running, theres no need to run the update script, just over-write all the files.

The language update is still messed up.

I have a problem with this beta.
Ive installed on new wiki AWC forum 2.4.1 and updated to 2.5.1. Everything works after copying new language files, except... writing posts. Im trying to do this even from admin account, but it dont shows edit box. I dont get completly any posting form in page source:
<table width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="bread_crumbs">
	<tr>
		<td width="99%" valign="bottom"><a href="http://xxxxx.pl/index.php/Special:AWCforum/">Forum</a> >> <a href="http://xxxxxx.pl/index.php/Special:AWCforum/sf/id10">test1</a></td>

	</tr>
</table>
<br />      <br />
        	<table class="whos_here" width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
        			<tr>
                  <td width="100%" class="whos_here_header">

Ive tried to send files to server again. but nothing changes.

I had a major issue when I updated from 2.4.0, my suggestion is restore the backup you (hopefully) did before upgrading, and then preform the updates for 2.4.2 and 2.4.3, THEN try to go to 2.5.1.

I know that worked for me, in a similar situation (though it was a massive language issue in my case).
