[drupal-support] Charset problem
by Steve Dondley 02 Mar '05

02 Mar '05

I'm using mysql 3.23 and Drupal 4.5 on an Apache/Linux server, PHP version 4.10. My older version of MySQL stores all text as latin1, the equivalent of iso-8859-1 extended. But I notice that Drupal outputs pages using the utf-8 character set. This is causing problems with the extended iso-8859-1 characters (Micorsoft's curly quotes, etc.) and they usually show up as question marks in the text. To solve the problem, I changed the charset argument in the drupal_set_header() function to iso-8859-1. This took care of the problem. But now, of course, any UTF-8 encoded text shows funky characters. What's the best way to get Drupal to output both UTF-8 and iso-8859-1 extended characters properly?

I'm so confused on how to creat forums. I am able to create forum topics but when I click on ?q=forum I get the statement that 'No Forums defined' . I went to administrator->settings->forum but I don't understand. I'm using 4.5.2.

[drupal-support] News aggregator questions
by Andrei Emeltchenko 01 Mar '05

01 Mar '05

Hi, I have several questions specific to using news aggregator. I am subscribed to news from news.news.com and reuters and after some point there are too many news which are still shown. Item count can reach several thousands. Are these items going to be cleaned or should I clean them myself from within administrator menu? in RSS there are categories also but I couldn't refer my category to category in news.news.com (i.e. "Enterprise Software") Thanks a lot, Andrei
