Ok, for a long time now I have wanted to switch the encoding for Muninn to Unicode so that I can easily display Chinese, Japanese, and Korean. I love the PostNuke software, but it isn’t good for everything. One thing it isn’t good for is support sites like the one at support.postnuke.com. An article based approach is not good for reference sites and they obviously haven’t gotten that.
Anyways, a search on their site or on google turned up nothing. Only by wandering into their forums, did I realize the search there (which appears to be running phpBB) turned up the answer. If you ant to change your site to Unicode with Postnuke, simply:
1. Locate the file “global.php” in your blog folder’s:
~/languages/eng/global.php
2. search down the list until you find this line:
define(‘_CHARSET’,’ISO-8859-1′);
3. Change this line to:
define(‘_CHARSET’,’utf-8′);
That is all there is to it.
