RSS Character Encoding Issues


Subject: RSS Character Encoding Issues
Since this post is a year old, I guess it's the right time to recall this unsolved issue of Icy Phoenix, because the next version is near, so it could be so fine to fix it. Well, as it says the post of the previous link above, the problem is on the RSS encoding character set. I don't know for other languages, but on the spanish one we loose our accents "á, é, ü, and our wonderful Ñ". The point is that if we change to a UTF8 encoding (FFox -> View -> Character encoding -> Unicode UTF-8" <<- This confirm that's 100% an Icy topic) we can read our feeds right, so we tried:

1 - Changing the lang_main_settings.php
2 - Editing the rss.php and adding utf8, utf-8, iso-8859-1, iso 8859 1, etc
3 - Searching inside the news_rss.php (nothing found to edit)
4 - Searching inside the rss_news_help.php (nothing found to edit)
5 - Adding <?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?> to several templates like rss_body.tpl and news_200_rss_body.tpl
6 - Editing the supposed RSS style file rss.xsl located on templates/common

And nothing worked, so desperation are getting us... Any idea, please? Thanks in advance...

Give me an RSS address which has these problems and when I have time I will check.

Any spanish RSS will bring character errors. Here are some of them:

http://feeds.marca.com/marca/ultimahora
http://www.elpais.com/rss.html
http://www.heroesofmightandmagic.es/backend.php
http://www.edicionmania.com/v2/inde...=view&theme=rss
http://www.finanzas.com/rss/al-minuto.xml

And I found that the character one is not the only issue, there's also a problem with the character "&" inside the links, that's so usual on the PHP made CMS, like PHP-Nuke or Zikula. You can test it with the Heroes of M&M one and you'll see the Icy RSS ignores any "&" on the link.

I will see what I can do.

In the meantime... Can you test this: http://www.flepstudio.org/forum/fle...rss-reader.html

Thanks, MG, I've taken a look to it, but I don't understand what's we're supposed to do, specially with steps 5 and 6:

5 Re-create main.swf from main.fla
6 Upload main.swf

Anyway, I guess depending on a flash application is not the best option, don't you think?
