Headlines Module for DBCS Language Xoops Sites Hack Released

Category : Hacks | Published by wjue on 21-Jun-2003 23:07
The original Xoops Headlines Module requires PHP's mb_string extension for encoding and decoding DBCS characters to and from utf8, but unfortunately PHP 4.xx version of mb_string extension does not support such conversion other than japanese encoding ! So no RSS news feeds are possible in Chinese Xoops sites.

This hack will make Headlines Module for big5 and gb2312 encoding Xoops sites working again!

If other DBCS language users are interested by this hack, please make your request on my websitehttp://www.guanxiCRM.com, I will try to integrate your language in next releases.

and also: please make comments and suggestions on www.guanxicrm.com only.
