Hi,

I have problem to integrate a chinese rss feed into the block nor static pages. It displays weird characters, it seems like it is some sort of encoding problems. The feed should come in with utf8 or big5 encoding, but it cannot be decoded correctly on the site via block or static pages. Can anybody help?

Also, I have tried to use the RSS aggregator function downloaded from here, but I got the following errors when displaying the static pages, it cannot display the format correctly with links, can anybody help as well:

For starters, the URL of that feed would help ...

Since the feed is using UTF-8 you would also have to run your site on UTF-8 for it to display correctly.
