cotonti.com : Create Alias From Title

Yeah, on paper it sounds logical, however my own testing showed that php does not recognise those characters as lowercase versions of the other (and vice versa). So we've been doing dual-case replaces ever since.

I'm using str_ireplace — Case-insensitive version of str_replace, so I guess I wouldn't need to put the capitalized ones in my array.

Since I haven't found solution for this specific problem, I included capitalized letters in array

lol i really dont get your problem. it replaces the small characters fine cause you put them in. it doesnt do anything to the big characters cause you HAVENT PUT THEM IN

just make another line, using BIG CHARACTERS

... in case non-latin chars are present in string, and using that converted string as a page alias
seems to me i'll have to add capitalized letters in that replacement array

Basically this is about replacing strange non-Latin-1 with their Latin-1 look-a-likes.

The only thing he posted was auto-create alias when adding new entry. I'm talking about creating the alias for the things that are already in database.

Lombi has a solution from this that uses javascript. I'm sure he will post it when he see's this, It may already be posted somewhere I think?

$rec = strtolower($rec)
outputs:

Đorđe Balašević opet u Kerempuhu - �orde_balasevic_opet_u_kerempuhu_22

changed format from ansi, to uft8 without bom, utf8.. and still weird char:S

You could make it all lowercase first. But then you won't have capitals in your url.

I'm sure there's an existing solution for this problem that I just don't know about.

Hey guys, I got stuck... again..

Here's the thing, since I have 10,000+ pages and around 50 of them have alias, I want to auto create alias from page title.

I want to do this because of few reasons:
1. Improve current SEO
2. Prepare database for Cotonti(yep, still using Sed125) - my nice urls will look like site.com/category/alias

Anyways, I'm not even a mediocre PHP programmer so don't laugh at my approach. It's almost working

Basic idea (since my titles consist of croatian letters like č,ć,š,ž,đ):
Turn: Đorđe Balašević - koncert u Šibeniku
into: Dorde_Balasevic_koncert_u_Sibeniku

What's wrong? Well, I get this kind of output:

Đorđe Balašević opet u Kerempuhu - Đorde_Balasevic_opet_u_Kerempuhu_22
Šta ćeš bez mene? - Šta_ces_bez_mene_28

And it should be

Đorđe Balašević opet u Kerempuhu - Dorde_Balasevic_opet_u_Kerempuhu_22
Šta ćeš bez mene? - Sta_ces_bez_mene_28

As you can see, output IS case sensitive, and it shouldn't be since I'm using str_ireplace. Right?

I don't get it

And second thing, has anyone created this "plugin" already and is willing to share it I'm sure lots of people could use it.

Thanks in advance!
