PROBLEM WITH RSS PAGE

Hi everyone ! I'm a french developer. I would like to build my blog's app and I used RSS reader page. My problem is that accents are not supporter. They are replaced by special caracters. Do you know how (in xCode), i could tell to display accents in articles and description ? Thanks again.

Hi, we have struggled with this for awhile, getting the character sets to work-out is not easy. If you send my the URL to the RSS feed URL (s) I'll have a look and report back.

I think it's a UTF-8 Problem. A friend talked me about this function : encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding But I absolutely dont know where to place it and how tu use it.

See this: http://www.buzztouch.com/applicationScreens/screen_rssReader.php?screenGuid=26ED93C26ADE73F This is the URL that is requested by the iPhone. The RSS URL is proxied through this so we can format for the iPhone. Check this URL and tell me if you see what you would expect? I'm thinking your WordPress install is not outputting UTF-8. If it's not outputting UTF-8 data, you'll need to figure out how to change it because that is what the app is expecting.

I think you're misunderstanding. The URL above is the URL that is requested by your app for a particular screen, in this case the screen with the id 26ED93C26ADE73F. All of the screens in your app that are RSS screens request this URL but pass along a different id in the querystring. This is known as Proxying. Our servers request the XML, read it, then pass it to the iPhone. It appears that the RSS feed is not outputting UTF-8 formatted data and this is why your getting funny characters in the phone.

I'm saying that is the place to start. It's unclear what will happen because we cannot control the output of your RSS feed. Make sure it's putting out UTF-8, see what happens.

I think it's not outputting UTF-18 because there are many conversion plugins to install on my wordpress admin panel. My problem is that I can't for the moment backup my Mysql Database for the moment. Then I'll do it and install this conversion plugin. I'll keep u informed.

I'm using RSSinclude because I can't seem to get BT 1.4 to read our RSS feed. I have the RSS showing up on both RSSinclude preview and on BT Eclipse and my Evo. A few of our RSS links go to a pdf. They work fine in the RSS include preview, Google RSS reader on my phone, but in BT app on both AVD and EVO no deal. Any thoughts? Here is the feed http://www.sbcera.org/RSS.xml
