Re: Place WordPress posts in your X-Cart

Ophelia,

I guess that is as your X-Cart store uses ISO-8529 (ascii) and your wordpress uses UTF-8... perhaps Dmitry has a quick fix - but real fix is the same as for languages - change your X-Cart over to use full UTF-8 - search forums for the answer on how to do that if you really want to.

Code:

    # 

    # this function will be called everytime there is a string between two tags

    # 

    function characterData($parser, $data){

        global $rssblog_globals;

        if($rssblog_globals[inside_item]){

            switch($rssblog_globals[current_tag]){

                case "TITLE": 

                $rssblog_globals[current_title] .= iconv("UTF-8", "CP1252", $data);

                break; 

                case "DESCRIPTION":

                $rssblog_globals[current_description] .= iconv("UTF-8", "CP1252", $data);

                break; 

                case "LINK": 

                $rssblog_globals[current_link] .= $data; 

                break;

            } 

        } 

        elseif($rssblog_globals[inside_image]){

        } 

        elseif($rssblog_globals[inside_channel]){ 

            switch($rssblog_globals[current_tag]){

                case "TITLE":

                $rssblog_globals[channel_title] .= $data;

                break; 

            }

        } 

    }

Re: Place WordPress posts in your X-Cart

One thing to note.. if you include this... it will try to load it before the store, so if there is any kind of delay on your site, high server load, etc., it's going to lag your store. We ran into this issue during a sale that had high server load and it took 2 days to pinpoint exactly what was causing the issue via watching the server logs. Once we removed the code, the issues stopped.
