hi developers

i just set the unicode in admin to " utf7" and now i can not get into admin anymore and can not change back to utf8

anything i can do from my ftp ??

Connie

are you sure you need ftp?

well, first why you entered "utf7"???
if you want to use unicode, you should enter "UTF-8" or "utf-8" but not "utf7"
I am sure that is the reason why the page does not work anymore

I think you should try to edit the entry in your database ;=)

Be very, very careful
Do a backup of the database in phpMyAdmin (it's easy) before you edit

I do not know your knowledge with databases, but at least you should be able to use phpMyAdmin or whatever database-tool your hoster gives you

then prepare mentally ;=)
remember that you must set the charset to UTF-8 and forget about utf7!

take a deep breath, promise yourself to be very carefully and to think before entering any data ;=)

1) open the database in phpMyAdmin or whatever tool you use
the name of your database is noted in "zp-core/zp-config.php"
2) navigate to the table "zp_options"
3) and edit the field "charset"

set it to "UTF-8"

good luck!!
