Wrong coding in RSS

[vBET]

OK - so it is this still an issue? Because we are not able to reproduce it.

Possible reason why it wasn't working and now it is, is because RSS channel shows other messages right now. So it is possible that some issue exist, but it is rare and we do not know now what it is.

For sure - it is not because of vBET cache - RSS has it's own vBulletin's cache so for RSS translations vBET cache is not used at all (it appears to be better for performance).

I will leave this thread open for some time. As I wrote we are not able to reproduce it on our side. So if I can ask you please monitor your RSS channel and check it from time to time. If you find this issue again it would be best to copy and give us links to every post which was shown in your RSS channel. This way we will be able to put it to our test forum, see exact content and work on it. Please stay in touch with this issue.

RSS still fine. But I will monitor and report if problem occurs again.

RSS still fine. But I will monitor and report if problem occurs again.

It is also possible that this wrong content was from vB cache - generated before update. We will see does some bugs will appear in future.

There is an issue:

If title contains language tags and body contains source without tags then rss for source language dies. RSS then shows <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> when source in fact is iso-8859-10

Title:

[*language=en*]Title in english[*/language]

Body:

iso-8859-10 source language with no tags

(* inserted in example)

Another small issue (explorer only): RSS for source (iso-8859-10 language) (even when not provoking above) cannot show hyphen in titles: - (it can show hyphen in titles for other languages though)

There is no lanuguage bbcode. I assume that you mean langtitle bbcode.

Question is - does issue really exists? Do you see any wrong content?...

vBET re-encodes RSS content when any translation is made. So - do you have issue or you just think that there could be an issue? If you have issue then please be more specific - give us URL and point which content is wrong. This will help us to fix it

About hyphen - which exactly is this sign? '_' or '-' or something else... Please point it and give URL where we can see it. Also do you see this hyphen in html source? If yes, then it is just a way how IE shows it.

If you send me a pm when you are ready to look at it, I can provoke the error temporarily.

You will get an url of the thread causing the problem + a link to the rss feed.

Ok here is an example to my test forum:

Right now you will see the RSS-feed is not working: <![CDATA[TGO]]>

The RSS feed contains 2 new threads:

1. A thread with the title tagged in English - body is not tagged: Engelsk tagged titel

2. A thread not tagged: url=http://www.thegameonline.dk/showthread.php?t=16631

You can make the RSS-feed work in to ways.

a) Delete the title tags of thread 1.
or
b) Delete thread 2.

I have pm'd you the user login for thread starter so you can log in and test

Great thanks. I totally see it right now. We will reproduce it on our server and we will fix it

[vBET]

Just want you to know that we successfully reproduced it on our server, so it will be solved soon

Corrected. Will be included in 3.3.2

For quick fix please fallow this instructions:
1. Open file /includes/vbenterprisetranslator_class_externalParser.php
2. Find code:

$this->outputResult[$this->index] .= $toTranslate;              
if (false === $cdata) {
$this->outputResult[$this->index] .= ']]>';
}
return false; 

3. Change first line in it to:

$this->outputResult[$this->index] .= vbet_getReEncoded($toTranslate);
