for all those non-english pligg installations:

file: /search.php

// breadcrumbs and page title
$navwhere['text1'] = $main_smarty->get_config_vars('PLIGG_Visual_Breadcrumb_Search') . urldecode(stripslashes($search->searchTerm));
$navwhere['link1'] = getmyurl('search', urlencode($search->searchTerm));
$main_smarty->assign('navbar_where', $navwhere);
$main_smarty->assign('posttitle', " / " . $main_smarty->get_config_vars('PLIGG_Visual_Breadcrumb_Search') . urldecode(stripslashes($search->searchTerm)));

file: /libs/search.php

	function get_search_clause($option='') {
		if(!empty($this->searchTerm)) {
			// make sure there is a search term
			$words = $this->searchTerm;
			$words = urldecode($words);

file: /libs/html1.php

	if ($URLMethod == 1) {
... cutted
		If ($x == "tag") {return my_pligg_base."/search.php?search=" . urlencode($var1) . "&tag=true";}
		If ($x == "tag2") {return my_pligg_base."/search.php?search=" . urlencode($var1) . "&tag=true&from=" . urlencode($var2);}
	}
	if ($URLMethod == 2) { 
... cutted
		If ($x == "tag") {return my_pligg_base."/tag/" . urlencode($var1);}
		If ($x == "tag2") {return my_pligg_base."/tag/" . urlencode($var1) . "/" . urlencode($var2) . "/";}

file: /templates/yourtemplate/search_center.tpl

{if $templatelite.get.search neq ""}
	<h2 class="title">{#PLIGG_Visual_Search_SearchResults#} {$templatelite.get.search|sanitize:2|stripslashes|urldecode}</h2>
{/if}
{if isset($templatelite.get.q)}
	<h2 class="title">{#PLIGG_Visual_Search_SearchResults#} {$templatelite.get.q|sanitize:2|stripslashes|urldecode}</h2>
{/if}

file: /templates/yourtemplate/pligg.tpl

<div class="search">
{if $templatelite.get.search neq ""}
	{assign var=searchboxtext value=$templatelite.get.search|sanitize:2|urldecode}
{else}

hope this helps!
for me this works now... it's an ugly hack but the whole pligg code seems to be one as well! at least regarding internationalization...

Your system runs with UTF-8 (default) and you don´t have any problems with stories, RSS feeds and tags using this characters?

Sounds better than real!

[geneticwaste]

didn't change it, so it still must be utf-8.
haven't looked at stories and rss feeds so far. but i guess it all has to do with the missing urlencoding in the file html1.php! it's really bad that variables assigned to urls don't get encoded!
and additionally of course one has to find all the functions where the variables get outputed and apply "urldecode".

edit:
just checked: stories work with umlauts in the title out of the box, didn't have to change anything (and it's certainly not because of my hack)

[tbones]

Please check it with tags an feeds (esp. Internet Explorer). This would solve a long lasting problem of mine.

P.S.: If you´re interested in that stuff: Here´s a sketch of mine how to use the special characters for user names. I´m not a coder, therefore just a sketch. (http://forums.pligg.com/bug-report/1...ves-404-a.html)

For me this doesn' t work. This is all real funny to me. Seems that the author is a nationalist and wants the world speak english only! !LOL!

Except that Pligg is derived from Meneame, coded by a Spanish-speaker. And Spanish does use a few special characters/diacritics.

Help!

iamstraggler: this is an old thread that you dug up. Could you open up a new one with more details and examples of your problem?
