Serendipity in UTF-8 & I would like native Syndication

[Kruno Tisljar]

Hi, love your work!

I have Serendipity in UTF-8 and I would like native Croatian (Central Europe) Syndication. How can I do that? Please help me.

Another thing that is not realy important to me, but I would like to now is why there a way to log in just by e-mail because no username is used in big services like Google or Live.com
Thanks in advance!

Hi!

What do you mean with "you would like Syndication"? Do you want to export your content, or do you want to import foreign content?

You can create a username that's called like your email address, if you like that.

Best regards,
Garvin

I would like to export my content to zfeeder who will convert it to wml code for mobile view, but it does not work well with (or my sistem) real unicode streams. My system has some kind of a bug so iconv does not work when I convert unicode to native, but it works well the other way around...

Hi!

The Serendipity feeds are exported as UTF-8, so basically it's the job of the remote application that needs to do the recoding. So on your end you've done all you can, it's up to the receiver to do the required recoding.

RSS feeds are recommended to be UTF-8. You can however try to edit the feed*.tpl template files and hardcode them in another format and then remove the utf-encoding smarty calls in that file.

However, doing this is not really what it's meant to be zfeeder is the part where the recoding should be done. Many other blogging applications deliver their feed in UTF-8 (I believe the majority does, I've seldomly seen any other feeds), so it might be the right idea to get that zfeeder to do proper recoding?

Serendipity's own RSS importer can deal with UTF-8 to native format recoding...

HTH,
Garvin
