Hi,

I use xhld0 and xreaggregator module for displaying RSS feed on my website, and I have problems with encoding. It doesnt show russian, arabic and chinese letters right, althought UTF-8 is set as default and the feed are UTF-8 too. What is the problem?

I use RssFit 1.22 and it sends news like trash

My site 2.3.0 (with UTF-8)

I'm having the same problem with my site. I think there's a problem in backend.php. The generated html claims to be utf-8 encoded but the characters seems to be iso-8859 encoded.
I'm getting things like "Asociación" instead of "Asociación".

I managed to solve the problem by removing all xoops_utf8_encode calls in backend.php. For example:

$tpl->assign('channel_title'xoops_utf8_encode(htmlspecialchars($xoopsConfig['sitename'], ENT_QUOTES)));


should be changed to:

$tpl->assign('channel_title'htmlspecialchars($xoopsConfig['sitename'], ENT_QUOTES));


So the problem could be that htmlspecialchars() is already returning UTF-8 characters and xoops_utf8_encode() is badly re-encoding the characters, could it be?
I've seen xoops_utf8_encode is in the end calling XoopsLocalAbstract:utf8_encode() and at the beginning of utf8_encode it says:

// Each local language should define its own equalient utf8_encode

What does it mean?

BTW, backend.php seems to be the only XOOPS core file calling xoops_utf8_encode.

Any other having this problem? I think it should affect to all utf8 installations using non-english characters.

I thought that 2.3.1 solved the issue:

Meanwhile XOOPS news aggregator has been improved for non UTF-8 charset websites, multiple feeds are enabled.

Are you using 2.3.0 or 2.3.1?

PHP, MySQL version?
Database collation? Char set in mainfile.php and global.php?
If using xLanguage, settings?
