This hack stops feeds in the WordPress sidebar feed widgets that have different character encodings from causing non-valid mark-up.
I say "hack" because this is NOT a plugin, but involves direct modification of the widgets.php file. If you try this, Please be Sure to Save a Back-up of the original file.
Important* Note* This hack requires the iconv function. From the PHP documentation:
To use functions provided by this module, the PHP binary must be built with the following configure line: --with-iconv[=DIR].
Also, if you are on a Windows or IBM server, or the results are not what you expect, Please read the documentation (actually, it's not a bad idea to read it anyway).
Open the content/plugins/widgets/widgets.php file.
In the widget_rss function find this section of code:
//php tags needed for highlighter //............................. } else { $desc = str_replace(array("\n", "\r"), ' ', wp_specialchars(strip_tags(html_entity_decode($item['description'], ENT_QUOTES)), 1)); $summary = ''; } //.............................
After the line with the closing curly brace add:
//php tags needed for highlighter //............................. $feed_char_enc = $rss->feed_encoding; $board_char_enc = get_bloginfo('charset'); if($feed_char_enc != $board_char_enc) { $conv_link = iconv($feed_char_enc, "$board_char_enc//IGNORE", $link); $conv_desc = iconv($feed_char_enc, "$board_char_enc//IGNORE", $desc); $conv_title = iconv($feed_char_enc, "$board_char_enc//IGNORE", $title); $conv_summary = iconv($feed_char_enc, "$board_char_enc//IGNORE", $summary); $link = ($conv_link != FALSE) ? $conv_link : $link; $desc = ($conv_desc != FALSE) ? $conv_desc : $desc; $title = ($conv_title != FALSE) ? $conv_title : $title; $summary = ($conv_summary != FALSE) ? $conv_summary : $summary; } //.............................
Which will now be before this line:
//php tags needed for highlighter //............................. echo "<li><a class='rsswidget' href='$link' title='$desc'>$title</a>$summary</li>"; //.............................
Notice that for the "out charset" I appended the "//IGNORE" string. This removes any characters that can't be converted. This is not entirely desirable, but using the default will result in the converted strings being terminated at the last valid character. A third option is to append the string "//TRANSLIT" instead. You may want to try it, but I found that the converted strings still caused non-valid mark-up.
