The input data on the simple_contacts and simple_companies is on Portuguese so I think I have problems with special characters like ç ã á à (don't know if commas or dashes might be breaking as well). If I create a company by instance with special characters and then I associate contacts with the company. Sometimes the newly created company appears as null on the contact search field. Sometimes after associating the company with the contact everything appears normal but they don't get properly linked because If I go on the specific company and then click the contact link an error message appears as "item not found". I have the collation set to utf8_general_ci on all tables except: simple_seq_simple_categories simple_seq_simple_cms simple_seq_simple_companies_ki simple_seq_simple_contactgroups simple_seq_simple_contactgroups_ki simple_seq_simple_contacts_ki simple_seq_simple_emails_ki simple_seq_simple_portal simple_seq_simple_sys_console simple_seq_simple_sys_custom_fields simple_seq_simple_sys_events simple_seq_simple_sys_groups simple_seq_simple_sys_hosts simple_seq_simple_sys_identities simple_seq_simple_sys_stats simple_seq_simple_sys_tree simple_seq_simple_sys_users these ones are set to latin1_swedish_ci which is the default collation of mysql version so I guess they adopted the default collation. I have already a lot of entries on the database and I would like to know If there is a way to solve this problem so the database does not break if I make changes to the structure. Thank you in advance, TL UPDATE: I've attached a pdf with a few screenshots of the problem TLTLWed, 28 Nov 2012 15:08:38 -0000https://sourceforge.netdf79e6e36999e7c39e20c49726ea8ed8610615a2
