I'm do it, but xml don't work.

I think need change all xml_utf8_encode in rss.php, but i don't know how:

Content visible to registered users only.

I need to know the same thing. How can i change the encoding from utf-8 to iso-8859-1. The Umlaute ä, ö and ü aren't shown the right way in rss. Changing the encoding in rss.tpl doesn't do it. I suppose that i need to change someting in rss.php but i don't know how.

Please help!

After some research i found the answer.

Look for the following code in rss.php:

Content visible to registered users only.

Now remove "xml_utf_encode", the "(" and ")" for TITLE, DESCRIPTION and OWNER_NAME. Those can contain special characters like ä, ö and ü or somethin like it. Removing it prevents the checking for utf-8 encoding.

The code will have to look like this:

Content visible to registered users only.

Now you will have to change encoding in rss.tpl. I changed it to iso-8859-1.

Beware of using charcters like "&" in description. RSS doesn't like it.

It's surely not the cleanest way to get things going, but for me it works as you can see on http://www.katalogfuchs.de.

I forgott something.
Look for the following code in rss.php:

Content visible to registered users only.

and change it to:

Content visible to registered users only.

This has to be done for correct category and category-description in rss.

For masking html-entities you have to add "htmlspecialchars()" to TITLE, DESCRIPTION and OWNER_NAME. From now on you can use "&" and so on.

The code will have to look like this:

Content visible to registered users only.
