http://www.digbook.net/story.php?title=王立群解��-《史记》人物

when click the url ,the page show blank. may some charactor do not delete by the pligg system

you had better use url instead of title, something like:
story.php?url=....

I don't think some utf-8 functions at Pligg can handle Chinese very well.

I have similar issue with only one letter in Ukrainian (cyrillic) titres.
In place of "л" letter it put "Є" in url. Other letters are just fine and if you skip this л letter url is just fine. Please help.

story.php?url=....

And how I can do this?

Ok. about second part I've found answer by myself , got changed to url= in Configuration settings.

Still have no solution for л letter. Seems like some issue with

return utf8_strtolower($string);

string

Similar issue with categories. Even you switch to url= method categories is still in domain.com/титри/ mode and the issue with cyrillic characters there it goes.

...I just wondering how Wiki handles that smoothely .Look at the beauty :-) as for instance http://uk.wikipedia.org/wiki/веб-сервіс

I have similar problem, in previeus version everything was OK, now something is wrong with characters. changing to url= is only a Temporarily solution.

OK, I solve this problem by replacing code from "function makeUrlFriendly($input)" in libs/utils.php to code from v. 9.1.
I don't know, is this correct, but it's working.

pligger2,
Can you give me that code from v.9.1. I'm using 9.7, what were you using originally? I'm having the same problem but haven't found a fix yet.

Hi all,

Found out that in libs/utils.php in the latest version - 9.8, in the function makeUrlFriendly() and in this line :
$output = str_replace("»", "-", $output);
the cyrillic letter "л" gets replaced up by the "Э", which totally doesn't makes sense.
As proposed in this thread, the version of this function from 9.1 works fine. Also commenting this line also does the trick.

What the code in version 9.1 ? Place it here, please.

I have the problem with incorrect characters in Related Stories .
I have URL Method 2 and FriendlyURLs is false, but links look as
/story/title/ÓâåÝè÷èÝîñü_÷èñÝî_À?Ï_ñ

Look the code in Story_center.tpl::

	{section name=nr loop=$related_story}
		<li><a href = "{$related_title_url}{$related_story[nr].link_title_url}">{$related_story[nr].link_title}</a><br/></li>
	{/section}

Or I need to transform links with id (like story/99)... But how?
