I’m setting up a greek XOOPS site (using 2.0.10).
I’ve used the greek language translation (from the local support group)
I’ve checked in languages\greek\global.php that langcode set to ‘el’ and charset set to”ISO-8859-7’.Everything is working fine but…


I’ve installed headlines module. It worked fine for the default XOOPS news headlines but when I tried to connect with a greek RSS/feed nothing is coming up.

I’ve noticed inside the XML files that the encoding that have is again ‘ISO-8859-7’ but in configuration area of headlines module you have only 3 choises (UTF-8,ISO-8859-1 and us-ascii). I guessed that this is the reason that nothing is showed.

Does anyone have used the Headlines module with a non-standard language like mine?

Is there any way to change the encoding other than the 3 proposed?

Thank you in advanced!

PS.example of an RSS feed in greek

As a second step I’ve installed xhld 2.99 which supports auto detect for the encoding but it responds with the following error…

Failed saving data to database for headline myHeadline
XmlParse error: not well-formed (invalid token) at line 4

For the above RSS/feed. By the way, in the 4th line you can find the first greek character. Is something else that I can search for?
