[Vtigercrm-developers] Installation and non-ASCII characters in the default data populator

Hello,

during Vtiger 6 installation Polish currency and language names
display non-ASCII characters incorrectly (I guess the problem relates
to other languages as well). I have reviewed the ticket http://trac.vtiger.com/cgi-bin/trac.cgi/ticket/7784
and added an approtiate comment.

The problem seems to be a missing call to SET NAMES utf8
while populating default data in the modules/Users/DefaultDataPopulator.php file.
I guess it should be called automatically, but it does not happen.
If I insert the call manually, the default data gets populated correctly.

Maybe it is somehow related to mysql server settings. My settings are:

Server characterset:    latin1
Db     characterset:    utf8
Client characterset:    utf8
Conn.  characterset:    utf8

I create a database by hand before starting installation with the utf8 character set,
but the default server character set is latin1 - maybe this causes the problem
and requires SET NAMES utf8.

Regards,
Michal Zygmuntowicz
