mod_rewrite,ajax and country language

[linksor.com]

I'd like to make some changes into mod_rewrite and ajax

- in polish language there are a lot of specific letters - and when people submitting their page polish marks are imported via ajax as a symbols - is thi spossible to correct it an dpolish marks will be imported as charset=iso-8859-2 ? (or may be it is imported only as UTF so I will put the information about it).

Second problem with polish charset is inside mod_rewrite - i.e. when I see deatils: http://www.zgred.pl/informacje/7/-la...elone-naw.html

you can see %f3 which should be a polish letter. but that polish letter should be changed to letter "o" - normally it is ó.

we have teh following leeters:

ą -> after mod_rewrite should be a
ó -> o
ę -> e
ć -> c
ź,ż -> z

and so on ... can you help me to put changes into php code to make mod_rewrite correct for polish charset ?

[linksor.com]

sorry for bumping:

need to include something like this (from Invision Power Board)

//Polish Characters


$text = str_replace( "ó", "o", $text);
$text = str_replace( "Ó", "O", $text);

or the code:

$text = str_replace("\xF3","o",$text);

For mod-rewrite, you can change /lib/misc.lib.php

  function SEOReplace($string) {
    $seo_replacement_str_arr = array (
      ' ',
      '-',
      '/',
      '\\',
      ',',
      '.',
      '#',
      ':',
      ';',
      '\'',
      '"',
      '[',
      ']',
      '{',
      '}',
      ')',
      '(',
      '|',
      '`',
      '~',
      '!',
      '@',
      '%',
      '$',
      '^',
      '&',
      '*',
      '=',
      '?',
      '+'
    );
    $string = str_replace($seo_replacement_str_arr, '-', $string);
	
    $string = str_replace('a', 'a', $string);
    $string = str_replace('ó', 'o', $string);
    $string = str_replace('e', 'e', $string);
    $string = str_replace('c', 'c', $string);
    $string = str_replace('z', 'z', $string);
    $string = str_replace('z', 'z', $string);
	
    $string = preg_replace(array('/-+/', '/-$/'), array('-', '') , $string);
    $string = urlencode(strtolower($string));
    return $string;
  }

It is working !

[linksor.com]

but still don;t know where or how to read polish charsets via AJAX ? WHen fetching META TAGS all polish charsets are overwritten by one stupid mark - and all data's must be reedited manually inside boxes.

[dody]

To make ajax work with your language, you need to add charset in ajax.php at the header section.

 header ("Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-2");
  header ("Expires: Mon, 26 Jul 1997 05:00:00 GMT");
  header ("Last-Modified: " . gmdate("D, d M Y H:i:s") . " GMT");
  header ("Cache-Control: no-cache, must-revalidate");
  header ("Pragma: no-cache");

Make sure to use correct charset.

Okey added.

Unfortunately - when pressign button FETCH META TAGS it is always "pressed" and script doesn;t work.

EDIT:
sorry - it is working

I having the same problem and couldn´t get it to work following the steps in this thread.

I have managed to activate mod-rewrite. I´m using Sweidsh chars in my category names, like "Hälsa och skönhet". But when I access that page (which is no problem) the address-field shows "h%c3%a4lsa-och-sk%c3%b6nhet".

As I said, I added the lines in /lib/misc.lib.php but it still doesn´t work.

Please help...

may be you sould use sth liek this:

$string = str_replace('ä', 'a', $string);

or

$string = str_replace('%c3', 'a', $string);

[dody]

If you still have this problem. You may submit a helpdesk ticket. We'll try to solve the problem.

remember:

if you want to use national characters you should add in admin_tpl/header.html you national coding.

After TITLE section in that file add i.e.:

<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">

Hello,

Thanks Linksor! :-) You help me very much, but I want to provide next fix:

If You want to have a correct encoding in CP, please do that:

themes/$theme/cp/header.html

Find:

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">

Change to:

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=your_charset">

I think, are next version of INDEXU should have a global variable to change it in ACP, and all work perectly.

Cheers,
Largo

I added western characters support.
You can check the latest svn
http://nicecoder.com/svn/index.php?act=changeset&id=513

next, i'll make a global charset (for ajax & template) in application.php and will make utf-8 as default charset.

[dody]

About utf-8, if the website previously using other charset (iso-8859-1), then it will not display properly when you change the charset to utf-8. This is because the character is encoded with iso-8859-1 earlier and utf-8 will recognize it differently.

So unless it's a new website (no content), it's better to keep using the previously used charset.

Update for global charset:
http://nicecoder.com/svn/index.php?act=changeset&id=515

Should there not be a command for mysql to convert the data from one charset to another?
