Mod_Rewrite and Accents

Good work Eduardo! Thanks for that!

Sorry for late answer btw.. (

I have attached script to this post which make paths for 3 and more levels of categories.

If somebody have problems wiith paths you need to run this script, your path will be updated from titles with good structure.

/topcat/subcat1/subcat2/

You need to copy this script to root of the domain and then run
yourdomain.com/dir_from_path2.php

		$str = trim($str, '-');
	
		return empty($str) ? "listing" : $str;

change with :

function convertStr($str)
	{	
		esynLoadUTF8Util('utf8_to_ascii');
		$str = utf8_to_ascii($str);
		
		$str = str_replace('é', 'e', $str);

		$str = str_replace('ê', 'e', $str);
		$str = str_replace('ë', 'e', $str);
		$str = str_replace('à', 'a', $str);
		$str = str_replace('à', 'a', $str);
		$str = str_replace('ñ', 'n', $str);
		$str = str_replace('ù', 'u', $str);
		$str = str_replace('ú', 'u', $str);
		$str = str_replace('û', 'u', $str);
		$str = str_replace('ü', 'u', $str);		
		$str = str_replace('ç', 'c', $str);
		$str = str_replace('ï', 'i', $str);
		$str = str_replace('î', 'i', $str);
					
		$str = strtolower($str);
		$str = preg_replace('/[^a-z0-9]+/i', '-', $str);
		$str = preg_replace('/\-+/', '-', $str);
		$str = trim($str, '-');
	
		return empty($str) ? "listing" : $str;
	}

This is not working for 2.2.06

Any idea?

[falsealarm]

Rexinvn, there are actually two places where you need to make the same change in 2.2.06..

1. includes/util.php (affects sitemap plug-in, etc.)
2. includes/classes/esynSmarty.php (affects the general site links)

Sadly, this information could have been provided in a very clear way but I personally as a new 2.2.06 user had to go around reading multiple threads before I had the full solution. I am still not even fully sure the changes I made covers everything. It's also odd that different folks from the same support team provide different solutions and some even have typos in them. There needs to be a unified front with this.

[falsealarm]

Yep, I was right. The changes I made did not cover everything. Feed output still does not display properly. Any ideas?

Update: Resolved by adding the following after line 100 in feed.php (2.2.06)

esynLoadUTF8Util('utf8_to_ascii');
$value['title'] = utf8_to_ascii($value['title']);

How can this be done with the 2.4.1 script?? I need lowercases and to convert á to a in the url and any other accent... The tried the solutions and changing it in the util.php but it didnt work out...

[Vasily B.]

Greetings,

The script should convert á to a by default. In order to make your URL titles lowecase you need to add the following line to your includes/util.inc.php file in code line #721:

PHP Code:

$aParams['string'] = strtolower($aParams['string']); 


Let us know if it works fine for you. Thanks
