utf-8 / iso8859-1 charsets for rss export

[CaptnNuss]

hi guys,

I have a typo3 site running where I want to integrate my s9y driven blog. As there is no direct possibility to integrate s9y into typo3 seamlessly, I thought about just integrating the RSS feed. Visitors could read the new entries and as soon as they click on one, they'll be forwarded to the s9y blog. so far, so good.

There is one problem: The RSS from s9y is in utf-8 but the typo3 site is in iso8859-1, so that special german chars are not displayed correctly.

Has anyone a working solution for this?

Thanks,
Marco

RSS feeds are usually always in I UTF-8 format. You'll need to fix this on client (=typo3) site - tell your RSS feedreader to transcode into ISO-8859-1. Serendipity's own RSS feedreader (serendipity_plugin_remoterss) does this as well.

Another idea on integrating the blog is to use the embed directive; search the forum for that and for 'gallery' inclusion. There are some threads explaining how to embed serendipity into foreign applications.

Garvin
