rssLounge weird issue with greek characters

I have just installed rsslounge 1.7 but I am experiencing a wierd issue. When rs开发者_StackOverflow社区slounge loads, everything seems ok, but when the rss elements are refreshed (for instance I click on a category on the left), the rss elements's contents turn into "?". This behaviour is happening on Greek characters only. How can I fix this?

I came across the same problem and fixed it by changing a single line: http://code.google.com/p/rsslounge/source/browse/trunk/application/controllers/ItemController.php#80

Replace it with the following one:

'html' => $this->view->render('item/list.'.Zend_Controller_Action_HelperBroker::getStaticHelper('viewRenderer')->getViewSuffix()),

Basically, you remove the utf_encode/decode calls...

This isn't a perfect full solution (other small problems remain), but you at least get a functional rss reader ;).

Edit: Go to config/config.ini and add the following line: resources.db.params.charset = "utf8"

This should fix everything (your old rss items will not be printed correctly though).
