[SOLVED] - probleme with french caracters

[mikees]

Take a look at : {old test link removed}

The é, Ã**censored**, è, etc... doesn't work well from the parser... This caracters are replaced by 鬩.

Ok, I will see what I can do.

When did you think you can take a look on it ?

In DB the caracters are good, so the problem is not when you parse, but only when the script take the data in the db and put them on the site.

You can test with that feed : http://www.lequipe.fr/Xml/Football/Titres/actu_rss.xml

Thank you.

Ok, sorry for the delay. I now have someone looking at this.
You should have an update in 1-2 days. If not, please bug me.
Thanks,
David

This problem is only with the encoding... by default NewsTopica uses UTF-8 enconding. This problem can be fixed by choosing ISO-8859-1 instead of current UTF-8.

You can change encoding by editing "templates/header.tpl" file:
he must replace this code (line 6)
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf8" />
with this
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />

Sorry david, but it doesn't work.
Take a look at : http://www.news-finder.com/test/

Ok, I will see what else can be done.

I've got the solution :
It's in the includes/config.php file where you need to change the charset.

Juste replace the defaut header by :
header('Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1');

and it work well ;)

Your solution don't work with title and description of the directory, don't change the charset, just content, title by encode utf-8 when inserting in the database.

In admin/dir_importrss.php on line 90,
change the line by:
add_link($row['CATEGORY_ID'],$row['ID'],utf8_encode($item->link),utf8_encode($item->title),utf8_encode($item->content),$item->pubdate,2);
So you must add utf8_encode() for link, title, description.

So finally what's the solution ?

[David]

From the above posts, what changes have you attempted so far?
What is an example of a page where it is not working?
When viewing source on the page, what is the encoding now?

Also note, that it is working in 3.0 here:
