i have it , however i cant read hebrew , so i even cant tell what is right or wrong.

You should use atleast IE8 + firefox.
IE8 is now free to download , just like firefox.

But I know the problem is mine because I surf to other hebrew utf8 sites and can read the view source

should I add any code? or raven is compatible with UTF8?

I'm still playing with your sql , it is to big for my pc to handle.. so it goes al verry slow.

mysqldump.exe refuses to get rid of the latin1 charset , so i only find out after importing , and when importing i keep getting duplicate entry errors etc etc.
i dont now what tools you use , but they seem to be fastrer as what i use.

all the work on the database I made on the server it self.. (its a vps) using ssh commad.. thats why it goes faster..

I think the problem might be something with server configeration but im not sure

another problem is the following:

on index.php the module in use is News.

Now the data format (which is set in admin-->preferences --en_us) is set to hebrew.. in order to display hebrew data.

the problem is that its sending the data hebrew incoded and not utf-8.. any idea on how to fix it?

ok I found a solution:

editing the following line in mainfile.php:

Quote:

$datetime = strftime(_DATESTRING, $time);

to this:

Quote:

$datetime = iconv('windows-1255', 'UTF-8', strftime(_DATESTRING, $time));

windows-1255 stands for your loacal time you choose view phpnuke admin panel and will convert it to utf. (you should change windows-1255 to your lang encode.
