V4.1.x Replacement non-ASCII in SEO Module

[nzyan +]

I'm running 68Classifieds (4.2.1 Developer) completely in UTF-8 with the SEO Module 2.1.1

Now I have problems with listings with non-ASCII characters in the title (German Umlaut, but also accents):

������ � �� etc.

I've taken a look in the PHP code and found a function which should solve the problem:
function (remove_accents)

But there seems to be no call to this function...

Right now a listing with the title "����" or "����" is linked to:
DOMAIN/DIR/listing/19/����.html

Any ideas?

Hi Andreas -

Please do the following:
- Open modules/seo/hooks.php

- go to line 42 where it says:

$string=preg_replace('/\W/e', '', $string);

- below this line, insert the following:

$string=$this->remove_accents($string);

- next, around line 98, locate:

if (seems_utf8($string))

- change that line to:

if ($this->seems_utf8($string))

- save and upload the file.

Thank you for bringing this to our attention.

Works fine - with minor cosmetical problems...

Looks as if all umlauts are rewritten to "A" instead of "�" => "u" or "ue"

But this no big deal...

Thanks for the quick help!
