    Problems with ä, ü etc.

    Hello,

    there`s a problem with "Umlaute" like
    PHP Code:
    äü 
    etc.

    For example a Forum like
    PHP Code:
    "Fantasy-Bücher" 
    (Fantasy-Books) can`t be open.

    Instead of the forumsdisplay there comes a completely white page with a notice like that:

    [ /fantasy-bücher/ ]
    Same problem to threads using "Umlaute":

    For example threadtitle
    PHP Code:
    "Auflösung" 
    (eng. resolution)

    [ /forum1/9-auflösung.html ]
    Picture:



    Should be fixed as quickly as possible, cause vBSEO can`t be used as long as this error is not repaired.

    IMPORTANT: I was only able to post this text by using [PHP*]text[/PHP*] for "Umlaute".
    So it isn`t possible to post a text with "Umlaute", too.

    As a matter of fact... I had to enable the 'remove the foreign characters' option in these forums in order to make this thread visible

    You need to enable that option through vbseo_cp (see the attached image)

    Let me know how it works for you.

    Cheers!

    Sorry - I shouldn't have used that word... what is "foreign" anyways? That's a relative word... and definitely doesn't fit on the www

    Question

    Is it possible to replace the "foreign characters" ä, ö ,ü and ß with ae, oe, ue and ss?

    Example: /soccer/27-fc-bayern-munchen.html --> /soccer/27-fc-bayern-muenchen.html

    [QUOTE=Silmarillion]Is it possible to replace the "foreign characters" ä, ö ,ü and ß with ae, oe, ue and ss?QUOTE]

    Hi Silmarillion,
    RC3 will include replacements of the characters (ä, ö ,ü and ß with ae, oe, ue and ss). However, I have to explore how well this will serve our general vBSEO user base. My first language is Spanish. In Spanish, it would be more appropriate to replace ü with u.
    Example: I went to school in Mayagüez. With the current settings "Mayagüez" would become "mayagueez" which is probably closer to how my Canadian systems analyst would pronounce it, but not correct! Sorry Joe!

    We will consider adding a configurable feature allowing an admin to select the foreign character replacements based on the language of their vB forum.
    Thank-you for the feedback. I will keep you posted.

    Sounds well. Maybe in Version RC3?

    At the moment - in this forum - foreign characters are replaced correctly (ä --> ae....)
    Before this isn`t possible for me, I cannot use vBSEO for my Forum. The outcame of this would be defective Serp-Results. (for my german keywords) :(
