SEO module bug?

[MiśUszatek]

SEO module doesn't work with special characters.

when SEO module is enabled and listing title include special character my link looks like that:

http:/ /mysite.pl/listing/8/garaż.html

and I receive error

Not Found

The requested URL /listing/8/garaż.html was not found on this server.

NOTE: when listing with special character in title is clicked, encoding is switching automatically from UTF-8 to ISO-8856-1




when SEO module is disabled
(same listing) link looks like that:

http:/ /mysite.pl/viewlisting.php?view=8

and everything works.

Is there anythin I can modify to make SEO module to work with special characters?

I think you will need to submit a ticket with your ftp details for this. With that I can run some tests and get it working correctly.

Hi,

You must not be getting our replys. Can you create a ticket with a different email and see if that works? Or check your bulk mail or spam folder?

Is this problem fixed ? I have similar symptoms with characters that have accent (Latin ISO)

Hi,
I had the same problem with french ponctuation.
I fixed the problem with some changes in Listings.php
I replaced

PHP Code:

    function seoString($string)
    {
        $string=html_entity_decode($string);
        $string=str_replace(' ', '_', $string);
        $string=preg_replace('/\W/e', '', $string);
        if(SEO_STRING == 'dash') {
            $string=str_replace('_', '-', $string);
        }
        return $string; 
    } 


with

PHP Code:

    function seoString($string)
    {
        $string=strtolower($string);
        $string=str_replace(' ', '_', $string);
        $string=str_replace('�', 'e', $string);
        $string=str_replace('�', 'e', $string);
        $string=str_replace('�', 'e', $string);
        $string=str_replace('�', 'e', $string);
        $string=str_replace('�', 'c', $string);
        $string=str_replace('�', 'u', $string);
        $string=str_replace('�', 'e', $string);
        $string=str_replace('�', 'a', $string);
        $string=str_replace('�', 'i', $string);
        $string=str_replace('�', 'i', $string);
        $string=str_replace('�', 'o', $string);
        $string=str_replace('�', 'a', $string);
        $string=str_replace('�', 'I', $string);
        $string=str_replace('�', 'I', $string);
        $string=preg_replace('/\W/e', '_', $string);
        $string=str_replace('___', '-', $string);
        $string=str_replace('__', '-', $string);
        $string=str_replace('_', '-', $string);
        if(SEO_STRING == 'dash') {
            $string=str_replace('_', '-', $string);
        }
        return $string; 
    } 


For polish characters, you just have to add lines like this

PHP Code:

$string=str_replace('ż', 'z', $string); 


I hope it will help.
