This is a 1.2 specific issue due to a switched code order and mbstring failing on some character sets. This will generally only affect non-Western European languages.
In library/XenForo/Importer/Abstract.php, change this: (it's at the very end)
[code]
if (function_exists('mb_convert_encoding'))
{
$string = mb_convert_encoding($string, 'utf-8', $this->_charset);
}
else if (function_exists('iconv'))
{
$string = @iconv($this->_charset, 'utf-8//IGNORE', $string);
}[/code]
to:
[code]
$newString = false;
if (function_exists('iconv'))
{
$newString = @iconv($this->_charset, 'utf-8//IGNORE', $string);
}
if (!$newString && function_exists('mb_convert_encoding'))
{
$newString = @mb_convert_encoding($string, 'utf-8', $this->_charset);
}
if ($newString)
{
$string = $newString;
}[/code]
