Google Calendar feed displaying HTML entities incorrectly

[Jen]

One of my events included quote marks in the title, and I noticed that they appeared in the Google Calendar link as “ and ”. This was also a problem in the event description, where … was written out instead of displayed correctly.

My solution was to modify googleCalendarLink() to run the content and title through html_entity_decode() and to specify ENT_QUOTES as the flag and ‘UTF-8’ as the character set.

HA! Your comment box encoded the HTML entities I used as examples. I actually wrote “ampersand, number sign, 8220, semicolon” and “ampersand, number sign, 8221, semicolon.”
