Press Hello World 1 - The first steps or Hello World 2 - Getting personal.

It will result in many warning messages.

yeah, you were right. 
gotta report this...

Warning: htmlentities(): charset `ANSI_X3.4-1968' not supported, assuming iso-8859-1 in /home/help/public_html/mambots/content/geshi/geshi.php on line 1361

I've seen this too. It might just be the site's global configuration setting for error reporting is not set to NONE.

Thanks, have informed our Core members about this, hopefully they can restore this.

Hmm...I Googled this and there seems to be a small bug with the geshi.php module.

EDIT!
Workaround found!

Find the lines that looks like this...
[php]$geshi = new GeSHi( $text, $lang, dirname( __FILE__ ) . '/geshi/geshi' );
if ($lines == 'true') {
$geshi->enable_line_numbers( GESHI_NORMAL_LINE_NUMBERS );
}[/php]


Make it so that it is like this...
[php]$geshi = new GeSHi( $text, $lang, dirname( __FILE__ ) . '/geshi/geshi' );
$geshi->set_encoding('iso-8859-1');  # Fixes bug with htmlentities() warning
if ($lines == 'true') {
$geshi->enable_line_numbers( GESHI_NORMAL_LINE_NUMBERS );
}[/php]


The idea is that you have to set the encoding type before you use Geshi.

I have not modified any Joomla source files, so if a Dev Team Members wants to step in and apply this little patch, then go ahead.

Sorry for bringing it up. Just curious.
Is the help.joomla.org geshi bot and joomla 1.0.8 geshi bot are same?
Or has it been modified?

As i see in my local Joomla! 1.0.8 testing server, the encoding were set to null.
=================================================================================
var $encoding = '';   // The encoding to use for htmlentities() calls
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
function set_encoding ( $encoding )
{
$this->encoding = $encoding;
}
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
$result .= $this->indent(htmlentities($this->source, ENT_COMPAT, $this->encoding));
=================================================================================

And what was causing this? An unrecognised character? 

@ Tom,

Thanks heaps for the fix, I have applied and all seems to be good now.

Cheers
Shayne

1.0.9 will contain the latest version of Geshi:
Geshi 1.0.7.8



This problem looks to have been an issue with Geshi 1.0.4, which we were running in 1.0.8.

I have upgraded the help site Geshi to 1.0.7.8

looks weird in FF 1.5
