Upgrading from swcms

[highirly]

Hi all. i am still trying to migrate from swcms mainly because search.php uses lot of resources and also because of spam.
So i setup the hotaru at local server: http://93.103.226.136/odd/ and imported DB from www.odmevi.com
And now i see that old users cannot log in without reactivating account, that is somehow ok.

Second prob is characters like š č ć ž i cannot get it to work, i searched and tried all that i know with little success.

And also problem from this thread :http://forums.hotarucms.org/showthre...=1959#post1959 which i have not tried yet because i am on localhost and i think should work on webhost later.

Other than that the script looks very nice and i can pay trough paypal if someone can help me complete migration.
Thank for help.

Pligg2Hotaru includes a "Character Cleaner". Have you tried that yet?

You can customize what characters it changes in /functions/funcs.strings.php in the strip_foreign_characters function at the bottom of the file.
