Vicky,

I'm not sure but as far as I know you can not use RSS with authentication at this point so you need to add guest to the space where you need the RSS feed. Maybe this explains one of your problems?

It's the reason we can't use the RSS templates at this point, all documents are restricted.

1. Perhaps some trouble with the internationalization special charakters?
We have the same trouble with Spezial Language Charakters like Ã¤ Ã¼ Ã¶ and so one. No Solution, too…
We use Alfresco V2.0 CE in german version.
Any Ideas?

Hello

I foud a solution to that. You have to change into the RSS code the lenguage because it contain english like default lenguage. For example In my case I need to use Spanish and I changed that line

<language>en-us</language>
into
<language>es-es</language>

The IE get a Feedcode-Error on German special characters.

We fixed some issues with FreeMarker character set processing in the repository for 2.1. Can you try this German RSS feed with 2.1? If there's still a problem then please raise a JIRA issue and we'll take a look.

Thanks,

Kevin

The Feed cannot displayed.

   Feed-Error!

     Wrong Charakter in Content.
     Row: 183 Colum: 48

         <title>PB Muster am Beispiel Markteinf

The German Special-Charakters in Docuiment-Title cant be displayed!
The Content-Typ from the Feed-Header seems to be wrong, is not UTF-8:

No i have no further ideas, how to configure an RSS-Feed for german-language-special-charakters, so that the IE 7.0 can display the Feed.

Re: Problems with RSS

schneika — Fri, 31 Aug 2007 16:05:19 GMT

Are there further ideas?

Re: Problems with RSS

schneika — Mon, 03 Sep 2007 07:54:29 GMT

Workaround: Instead of UTF-8 now i am using language charakter set in RSS-Header:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?> 
<rss version="2.0"> 
   <channel> ‍‍‍

Now everything seems ok with the german Feed.
