URL method 2 & CE characters

[Cacademy]

Hi,

I know this might be too much to ask, but if someone can help me, please do. In croatian language there are characters : čćžšđ (I hope you see them).

Now when I switch to method 2 titles containing this characters go crazy(they get changed into their codes or something like that) . It would be best if čćžšđ could be replaced with cczsd in link, or if it is more simple just to exclude them.

Pls Help.

Tnx.
N.

Look in /libs/utils.php towards line 228. http://pligg.svn.sourceforge.net/vie...hp?view=markup

You'll see a list of characters that cause problems with URL method 2. In your utils file all you have to do it add the characters that are causing problems for you.

As I can see this characters are already included , also added

PHP Code:

  'Ž' => 'Z', 
  'ž' => 'z', 
  'đ' => 'd',
  'Đ' => 'đ',
  'č' => 'c',
  'Č' => 'c',
  'ć' => 'c',
  'Ć' => 'c', 


but It didn't help... :(

I left the first video vith this symbol so you can see it live...

I think you were looking at the wrong section. It should be the section that starts with

$output = str_replace("_", "-", $output);

and I forgot to mention, this will only take affect for stories submitted after the changes.

Tnx!!!!!

Ok, I've found out that the problem was the way it was written into DB and now it looks like this:

PHP Code:

    $output = str_replace("Å¡", "s", $output);
    $output = str_replace("Ä‘", "d", $output);
    $output = str_replace("Ä�", "c", $output);
    $output = str_replace("ć", "c", $output);
    $output = str_replace("ž", "z", $output);
    $output = str_replace("Å", "S", $output);
    $output = str_replace("Ä�", "D", $output);
    $output = str_replace("ÄŒ", "C", $output);
    $output = str_replace("Ć", "C", $output);
    $output = str_replace("Ž", "Z", $output); 


And the thing I found out

! & ?

are also making problems so for the others that may encounter this problem also add:

PHP Code:

    $output = str_replace("?", "", $output);
    $output = str_replace("!", "", $output);
    $output = str_replace("&", "", $output);

Does anyone know how to do this on version 9.

I insert the similar lines after

// $output = preg_replace( '/(_a_|_an_|_the_|_and_|_or_|_of_|_for_)/i', '_', $output );

$output = str_replace("_", "-", $output);
$output = str_replace("--", "-", $output);

but it does not work.

Thanks

Are you testing it with new stories or stories that were submitted before you changed the code? The changes will only take effect on new stories.

its the diamond shaped icon with a question mark in it. It's the only one I get from time to time.
