You may need to change the RSS Feeds page encoding to the same as for the forum.

You can do this in 8.02 by editing the includes/setup_options.asp file

Borg, I know that but do you recall the RSS issue? When I set the ncoding to the one that supports arabic, subject titles and topics will appear fine, but the RSS pages will not.]]> Thu, 15 Jun 2006 09:57:11 +0000 https://forums.webwiz.net/rss-and-arabic_topic19566_post109084.html#109084 <![CDATA[RSS and Arabic : You need to edit the file incl...]]> https://forums.webwiz.net/rss-and-arabic_topic19566_post109073.html#109073 Author: WebWiz-Bruce

Borg hello again,

I have concluded the the following in regard to the RSS issue with Arabic:
 
RSS works perfectly fine when the encoding format is set to the default (which is set by webwiz forums when you first download it)
However, if you leave the encoding format at the default, another problem occurs but not on the RSS.
The problem that occurs is that when a member attempts to post a new topic using the Arabic alphabet letters, the subject title appears in strange characters. It looks like this: 
&#1578;&#1580;&#1585;&#1576;&#1607;
 
The topic content itself is not effected, the only thing that misbehaves is the topic subject title!
 
My conclusion was after I released the new design of my personal site when I installed a fresh copy of webwiz forums.

It seems to be a very common problem as I did a search on google. One of the results was that at the BBC news website but I don't see any different encoding on their source code: http://news.bbc.co.uk/rss/arabic/news/rss091.xml
 
I'll keep looking..if I find anything I will let you know. ]]> Fri, 28 Apr 2006 02:37:05 +0000 https://forums.webwiz.net/rss-and-arabic_topic19566_post105760.html#105760 <![CDATA[RSS and Arabic : I don&#039;t know what else to...]]> https://forums.webwiz.net/rss-and-arabic_topic19566_post105691.html#105691 Author: WebWiz-Bruce

I don't know what else to suggest, apart from having a look at other RSS Feeds on Arabic sites and looking at the source code for their RSS Feeds and see how they are doing the encoding.

If you find a solution please let me know.

I would try looking myself but as I don't know Arabic I can never find anything on Arabic web sites.

I tried both "Arabic Windows" encoding codes.. iso-8859-6 and windows-1256.

The RSS files are set to use UTF-8 which should work for Arabic, however, tyr editing the files satrting with RSS_ and changing the character encoding for the file.

If it works let me know

Forum encoding file is set to use arabic, however when trying to view arabic topics in RSS they cannot be read as it appears in diff format..

Edited - url updated in a later post in this topic.
