Hi Ian,

I'm currently getting ascii characters showing when some users are entering entries to calendars.

These include the single and double, right and left quotation marks, aswell as the dash and sometimes on spaces. (eg. ’)

They are entering using the thyme backend, as it is easier then adding through the joomla frontend.

I have just put together and run this SQL query to fix what has been done, but it isn't very feasible since i cannot continuously run the query.

UPDATE thyme_Events SET notes = REPLACE(notes, "'", "'");
UPDATE thyme_Events SET notes = REPLACE(notes, """, '"');
UPDATE thyme_Events SET notes = REPLACE(notes, " ", " ");
UPDATE thyme_Events SET notes = REPLACE(notes, "<br />", "\n");
UPDATE thyme_Events SET notes = REPLACE(notes, "<br>", "\n");
UPDATE thyme_Events SET notes = REPLACE(notes, "&lt;", "<");
UPDATE thyme_Events SET notes = REPLACE(notes, "&gt;", ">");
UPDATE thyme_Events SET notes = REPLACE(notes, "&amp;", "&");
UPDATE thyme_Events SET notes = REPLACE(notes, "&rsquo;", "’");
UPDATE thyme_Events SET notes = REPLACE(notes, "&lsquo;", "‘");
UPDATE thyme_Events SET notes = REPLACE(notes, "&rdquo;", '”');
UPDATE thyme_Events SET notes = REPLACE(notes, "&ldquo;", '“');
UPDATE thyme_Events SET notes = REPLACE(notes, "&ndash;", "–");


Thanks Mike
