Hey guys,
I have a problem. I am using JFBConnect to simplify login. I have Vietnamese people using the plugin meaning that their Vietnamese name gets taken over into the database. I now have the problem that the people that have an a or an e with a dot below in their username cannot edit their profile anymore and thus cannot activate any of the triggers for switching groups etc... that I have built in using Autoaction.

I have not been informed if they can use GJ yet.

Could you help?

Your database likely has the wrong collation. Within phpmyadmin review _users and _comprofiler database tables and make sure the table as well as all of its columns are utf8 (typically utf8_general_ci). If the collation is set correctly then PHP may not be configured correctly for UTF8 (unlikely, but contact your host or check phpinfo in Joomla backend to check). If PHP is set corretly then JFBConnect maybe escaping the data in a non-UTF8 compatible way.

If your issue isn't storage and display then please clarify further your issue.
