French pligg website - french caracters

[WebAbitibi]

I'm a french canadian, I installed pligg and it seems great, just great !

I have a problem with special french caracters (à,é,à,ç and such). When I'm pointing out an URL, it print all well, excepts french accents, Explorer prints squares and FireFox prints question marks.

I had a similar issue with a website I made in the past. I resolved it by putting this line;

<meta http-equiv='content-type' content='text/html;charset=ISO-8859-1'>

and all went well on my website after this. The problem this time, it's that pligg seems to use this;

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />

I just checked on the submit.php page to put ISO-8859-1 if it could resolve the problem, but OMG, numerous pages are called in and there.

So I'm just asking this, is there a way to put the entire site to ISO-8859-1 instead of UTF-8 via a single page on a single action via admin panel?

Just to see if it works.

Thanks

This is my MySQL coding system, am I ok?

Jeu de caractères pour MySQL:  UTF-8 Unicode (utf8)

I've found that when I register category titles like 'Actualités' or people register news titles with french accents, or keywords ... (every input on the website that is done with accents), it register itself like this in the database.

Actualités

it prints like this in the navbar, on the left, but on the right side, under the categories menu, it shows fine, like this;

Actualités

What is wrong?

If I go in the database and replace Actualités with Actualités, it prints right in the top navbar, but on the right menu, under categories, it prints a square under IE and a question mark under FireFox.

Try this thread [SOLVED] Mangled accents in the 'link_title' field of the 'links' table

That's not exactly what I'm looking for. He's replacing accents with non-accents characters.

Example : Un avion est écrasé

$title=str_replace("é","e",$title);

Changes to : Un avion est ecrase

I want the title to remain intact, I want the sentence in db and in the printout to be the same. Is that possible??

Take a look at this;

Pligg Beta 9

Titles comes with a square or question mark, when you click on it, you see the title in the navbar that it's screwed up, Actualités in marked Actualités ...

But on the right side, it takes the same name, Actualités, but it prints ok ... weird.

In MySQL, it's written Actualités and not Actualités.

I also tried comments with accents and keywords with accents, all is perfect. The problem seems from URL submission and category creation.
