WHMCS CEO Matt Posted January 1, 2007 WHMCS CEO Share Posted January 1, 2007 Check that the file is CHMOD to 777. Everytime you add an announcement in the WHMCS Admin Area the file is regenerated. Matt 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
generic Posted January 2, 2007 Author Share Posted January 2, 2007 Found the error, for some reason the rss feed (xml) does not like Microsoft Word's quotations or apostrophes. Example: Reference to undefined entity 'ldquo'. (an open quote) Once i deleted all quotes and reinserted them using the WHMCS editor which makes it " rather than &ldquo and &rdquo then it worked. NOT A WHMCS Bug, just a typical issue with word and the xml character set i guess. Hopefully someone else will benefit from this post when they experience the same issue. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axel Posted January 2, 2007 Share Posted January 2, 2007 For me it's a real trouble, existing in 2.5. There is errors with Firefox, IE, Opera... The language of the website is french and we use many special HTML characteres, it's the same thing for spanish, italians or all the north of europa (danish...). Because of that i have to manualy rewrite announcements.xml, converting HTML and ISO code to txt. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blueberry3.14 Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 Would setting the encoding to UTF-8 in the Configuration-> General Configuration-> Localisation fix these issues? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
