I don't see anyone else reporting a problem I am now experiencing - a complete loss of RSS feeds. I publish RSS feeds (title only) on the front page of my website in two different modules. One for US news relative to the topic and one for Nebraska news relative to the topic. Since I upgraded from 1.0.7 to 1.0.8, I now have zilch! Tried creating a new module and adding another feed - no joy. Anyone else with this issue? I find it hard to believe that I would be the only one.

Quite the opposite here.
feeds that would display incorrectly before now display withthe right encoding.
Could you post here the urls for the feeds you experience problems with?

Bug confirmed here with PHP5.
These are utf-8 feeds.

Which PHP version are you on?

As another user in another thread http://forum.joomla.org/index.php/topic,41675.0.html has indicated, use of Yahoo news feeds works fine. It seems that something has changed that prevents Google newsfeeds from working. One suspect is compound news feeds. Google is the one I would prefer to use. Any insights yet on what may be causing this issue?

I have tested one. They look like iso-8559-1.

It's quite easy to test in Firefox.
Set Firefox to auto-detect Universal. Double-click on the Rss link.
View Source: the encoding shows in the xml header.

Ah... I see it now. But am I right there is a problem with showing these RSS feeds with the 1.0.8 newsfeed component?

I checked them. They show OK.
The problem is for the utf-8 feeds on an ISO-8559-1 site as far as I understand and tested.

EDIT: correction: utf8 feeds on any site encoding.

Cache OK, Rey.

One gets no content for the feed.
mod_rssfeed published although useless in this case. Mossef published as changed in last SVN.
I tried everything, I must say. To bypass the joomla.php and other core files containing the $encoding definition in function of PHP version by recreating it totally in newsfeed,html.php, this to no avail.

Yes I am aware there is another issue at work here and will examine in due course.

However, I'm try to distinguish and clear this from the problem with people not setting their cache directory.

Thanks for your reply.
I would really appreciate you let me know some details when you solve this.
I have had the feeling of bumping my head over the walls and this is the only matter that prevents me from upgrading to 1.0.8

I'm having an interesting problem with my RSS feed.

I have Coppermine Image Gallery installed. It publishes a "random image" RSS feed that I use with a custom module on my Joomla site (Coppermine runs integrated with vBulletin on a subdomain.)

I initally had the cache permission problems. I fixed that. Joomla can write to the cache. If you clear the cache manually and reload the page, it will put a new entry into the cache. The problem is that on subsequent reloads, it does not delete the old cache file and grab a new one.

What's puzzling is that the module is set to NOT use a cache, yet if the permissions are wrong on the cache dir, it complains.

The cache dir is owned by the apache user, and is chmod 777'd.

You need to ensure that your cache directory is properly set.

The Module caching is different from the caching newsfeeds employ.

For newsfeeds to work at all it needs to create a cache file of the feed being pulled - otherwise it would always be pulling directlly from the feed site, increasing load times and the bandwidth burden of the feed site you pull from.

I tried the fix -- didn't make a difference.

There should be an option to turn caching on or off, or control how old the cache gets before it's deleted. The feed I am grabbing from is for a random image from my gallery, so I need it to pull a fresh image every time.

In the end I just replaced the RSS feed with some quick PHP code to accomplish the same thing.

Would be nice if you shared he code you used and where you place it.  :)

Think: it was only one line:
//$rssDoc->useHTTPClient(true);

Great indeed. Tested on utf-8 as well as on iso-8559-1 sites. :)

I replaced using RSS to grab the random photos out of Coppermine with a PHP script that I found on the Coppermine forums. It's being called through my Joomla theme, not via any modules or anything.

If anyone cares I can post the code, but it's not Joomla specific and likely wouldn't benefit anybody except those of us who use Joomla and Coppermine.
