I want to run pligg (9.5 Beta) on a german site. So users will tipe in words with german special letters (umlaut: ä,ö,ü,ß).

But if the news title contains such a character the url of the news does not work and I get a blank site. This happens with both url methods 1 and 2, with htacces and non htacces.

For example: The url of newstitle "Bücher kaufen" is rewritten in "story.php?title=b%FCcher_kaufen"

Is there a way to use pligg and clean urls for german (french,etc.) language Sites?

the special letters should be rewritten into two letter combinations (ä->ae,ü->ue,..) in the url. So the title "Bücher kaufen" would show up as "story.php?title=buecher_kaufen".

Would be nice if somebody can help to change/fix the rewrite rules. If you have another solution for this, feel free to post it

Best Regards

Please try to download and install the attached module. Then in the _main file you'll see the code for replacing characters. It won't affect already submitted stories unless you 'edit' the story from the 'admin links'. Let us know if that works for you.

thanks

Thanks Ash!

I will try this later and give some report. I first have to setup a new clean pligg installation because I fiddled a bit to much on my current testinstall.

maybe i can help...
Try to download a lang.conf (lib/ folder)
in a editor pad ( like notepad++ or notepad2) and change the encode (utf, utf-8 etc)

this work for me on Spanish letters like ñ, change the lang.conf to utf format

and sorry for my prehistoric English.

Big Thanks! Works great.

I have extended the makeFriendly_main.php with the german special characters so it looks like this know:

PHP Code:

<?php
    function utils_makeUrlFriendly($output){
    
        // http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.utf8-decode.php#31815
            $output = html_entity_decode(htmlentities($output, ENT_COMPAT, 'UTF-8'));
        $replace=array( 
            'à' => 'a',
            'â' => 'a',
            'é' => 'e',
            'ê' => 'e',
            'ù' => 'u',
            'ä' => 'ae',
            'ö' => 'oe',
            'ü' => 'ue',
            'ß' => 'ss'
        );
    
        foreach ($replace as $key => $value) {
            $output = str_replace($key, $value, $output);
        }
            
            return $output;
    }

?>

I noticed the "blank page" problem was related on the Admin>>Configure>>OutGoing>>Outgoing links:true Setting (I had to change to false) like it is posted a few times in the Forum.

@bichopro
Thank you for suggestion. I tried it with Ashs Modul first and it works great (exactly what I was serching for).

So for know everything is fine.

@Ash
Just an aditional question. Is it possible to change rewrite style from underlines "_" in dashes "-"?

And btw. Where is the thank you button in this vBulletin Forum? I see the position "Thanks:" in the User Stats but no Botton where I can say Thank you?

Cheers

bichopro how did you change lang.conf to utf-8 or other formats?

What is the correct folder for the makeFriendly files? Do I have to change anything in the admin area?

[911]

@tbones
edit the makeFriendly_main.php with the rules you want (like I did this for german chars) and upload all files to

yourdomain.com/modules/makeFriendly/

go in Backend

Admin » Module Management

you will now find the Modul makeFriendly down the Available (but not installed) Moduls. Install it. Thats it.

Cheers

Doesnt work for me.

Where do you get stuck? Can you install the Modul but it doesnt work or is der an error message while installing or something else?
