Hi,

My webiste is in Vietnamese and when I post an article via CB, an alias of the article is created but it change all special alias into a dash '-' I want the specials characters to be relevant Latin characters and I tried to change the following code in the file components/com_comprofiler/plugin/user/plug_cbblogs/models/joomla25.php


private static function getTitleAlias( $title )
{
$alias = str_replace( '-', ' ', $title );
$alias = trim( cbIsoUtf_strtolower( $alias ) );
$alias = preg_replace( '/(\s|[^A-Za-z0-9\-])+/', '-', $alias );
$alias = trim( $alias, '-' );
return $alias;
}


into following code:


private static function getTitleAlias( transliterateString( $title ) )
{
$transliterationTable = array('á' => 'a', 'Á' => 'A', 'à' => 'a', 'À' => 'A', 'ả' => 'a', 'Ả' => 'A', 'ã' => 'a', 'Ã' => 'A', 'ạ' => 'a', 'Ạ' => 'A', 'ắ' => 'a', 'Ắ' => 'A', 'ằ' => 'a', 'Ằ' => 'A', 'ẳ' => 'a', 'Ẳ' => 'A', 'ẵ' => 'a', 'Ẵ' => 'A', 'ặ' => 'a', 'Ặ' => 'A', 'ấ' => 'a', 'Ấ' => 'A', 'ầ' => 'a', 'Ầ' => 'A', 'ẩ' => 'a', 'Ẩ' => 'A', 'ẫ' => 'a', 'Ẫ' => 'A', 'ậ' => 'a', 'Ậ' => 'A', 'đ' => 'd', 'Đ' => 'D', 'ó' => 'o', 'Ó' => 'O', 'ò' => 'o', 'Ò' => 'O', 'ỏ' => 'o', 'Ỏ' => 'O', 'õ' => 'o', 'Õ' => 'O', 'ọ' => 'o', 'Ọ' => 'O', 'ố' => 'o', 'Ố' => 'O', 'ồ' => 'o', 'Ồ' => 'O', 'ổ' => 'o', 'Ổ' => 'O', 'ỗ' => 'o', 'Ỗ' => 'O', 'ộ' => 'o', 'Ộ' => 'O', 'ớ' => 'o', 'Ớ' => 'O', 'ờ' => 'o', 'Ờ' => 'O', 'ở' => 'o', 'Ở' => 'O', 'ỡ' => 'o', 'Ỡ' => 'O', 'ợ' => 'o', 'Ợ' => 'O', 'é' => 'e', 'É' => 'E', 'è' => 'e', 'È' => 'E', 'ẻ' => 'e', 'Ẻ' => 'E', 'ẽ' => 'e', 'Ẽ' => 'E', 'ẹ' => 'e', 'Ẹ' => 'E', 'ế' => 'e', 'Ế' => 'E', 'ề' => 'e', 'Ề' => 'E', 'ể' => 'e', 'Ể' => 'E', 'ễ' => 'e', 'Ễ' => 'E', 'ệ' => 'e', 'Ệ' => 'E', 'í' => 'i', 'Í' => 'I', 'ì' => 'i', 'Ì' => 'I', 'ỉ' => 'i', 'Ỉ' => 'I', 'ĩ' => 'i', 'Ĩ' => 'I', 'ị' => 'i', 'Ị' => 'I', 'ú' => 'u', 'Ú' => 'U', 'ù' => 'u', 'Ù' => 'U', 'ủ' => 'u', 'Ủ' => 'U', 'ũ' => 'u', 'Ũ' => 'U', 'ụ' => 'u', 'Ụ' => 'U', 'ứ' => 'u', 'Ứ' => 'U', 'ừ' => 'u', 'Ừ' => 'U', 'ử' => 'u', 'Ử' => 'U', 'ữ' => 'u', 'Ữ' => 'U', 'ự' => 'u', 'Ự' => 'U', ' ' => '-', "'" => '', '&' => '');
$title = str_replace(array_keys($transliterationTable), array_values($transliterationTable), $title);

$alias = str_replace( '-', ' ', $title );
$alias = trim( cbIsoUtf_strtolower( $alias ) );
$alias = preg_replace( '/(\s|[^A-Za-z0-9\-])+/', '-', $alias );
$alias = trim( $alias, '-' );
return $alias;
}


But it makes the site down.

Can anybody know how to correct it?

Thanks,

Hai

Install latest CB 2.x release then within Joomla global configuration enable unicode aliases under SEO parameters. We use Joomlas function now for creating aliases.

Why is that relevant? You only need to update CB then in Joomla global configuration enable unicode aliases. Then your aliases should generate perfectly fine. This won't have any affect on existing aliases of course unless you edit and re-save them for it to generate the alias again.

Hi Krileon,

The matter is that I cannot use Joomla alias either, even when I turn on the Unicode mode.

The reason is that, in Vietnamese, there are some special charaters and in unisode alias these characters are kept.

For example, if the title is "Mẹo giúp thực phẩm cả tháng không hỏng"

The alias will be: "mẹo-giúp-thực-phẩm-cả-tháng-không-hỏng"

But sometimes it becomes like below or like in the attached file.

"m%E1%BA%B9o+gi%C3%BAp+th%E1%BB%B1c+ph%E1%BA%A9m+c%E1%BA%A3+th%C3%A1ng+kh%C3%B4ng+h%E1%BB%8Fng"

And cannot be read by human.

What I want is to change special charaters into relevant Latin characters. for example. ẹ => e, ú => u, ự => u, ẩ => a, ả => a, á => a, ô => o, ỏ => o...

Then the alias will become:

"meo-giup-thuc-pham-ca-thang-khong-hong"

By that way, the alias can be read.

I will use the array like this:


$transliterationTable = array('á' => 'a', 'Á' => 'A', 'à' => 'a', 'À' => 'A', 'ả' => 'a', 'Ả' => 'A', 'ã' => 'a', 'Ã' => 'A', 'ạ' => 'a', 'Ạ' => 'A', 'ắ' => 'a', 'Ắ' => 'A', 'ằ' => 'a', 'Ằ' => 'A', 'ẳ' => 'a', 'Ẳ' => 'A', 'ẵ' => 'a', 'Ẵ' => 'A', 'ặ' => 'a', 'Ặ' => 'A', 'ấ' => 'a', 'Ấ' => 'A', 'ầ' => 'a', 'Ầ' => 'A', 'ẩ' => 'a', 'Ẩ' => 'A', 'ẫ' => 'a', 'Ẫ' => 'A', 'ậ' => 'a', 'Ậ' => 'A', 'đ' => 'd', 'Đ' => 'D', 'ó' => 'o', 'Ó' => 'O', 'ò' => 'o', 'Ò' => 'O', 'ỏ' => 'o', 'Ỏ' => 'O', 'õ' => 'o', 'Õ' => 'O', 'ọ' => 'o', 'Ọ' => 'O', 'ố' => 'o', 'Ố' => 'O', 'ồ' => 'o', 'Ồ' => 'O', 'ổ' => 'o', 'Ổ' => 'O', 'ỗ' => 'o', 'Ỗ' => 'O', 'ộ' => 'o', 'Ộ' => 'O', 'ớ' => 'o', 'Ớ' => 'O', 'ờ' => 'o', 'Ờ' => 'O', 'ở' => 'o', 'Ở' => 'O', 'ỡ' => 'o', 'Ỡ' => 'O', 'ợ' => 'o', 'Ợ' => 'O', 'é' => 'e', 'É' => 'E', 'è' => 'e', 'È' => 'E', 'ẻ' => 'e', 'Ẻ' => 'E', 'ẽ' => 'e', 'Ẽ' => 'E', 'ẹ' => 'e', 'Ẹ' => 'E', 'ế' => 'e', 'Ế' => 'E', 'ề' => 'e', 'Ề' => 'E', 'ể' => 'e', 'Ể' => 'E', 'ễ' => 'e', 'Ễ' => 'E', 'ệ' => 'e', 'Ệ' => 'E', 'í' => 'i', 'Í' => 'I', 'ì' => 'i', 'Ì' => 'I', 'ỉ' => 'i', 'Ỉ' => 'I', 'ĩ' => 'i', 'Ĩ' => 'I', 'ị' => 'i', 'Ị' => 'I', 'ú' => 'u', 'Ú' => 'U', 'ù' => 'u', 'Ù' => 'U', 'ủ' => 'u', 'Ủ' => 'U', 'ũ' => 'u', 'Ũ' => 'U', 'ụ' => 'u', 'Ụ' => 'U', 'ứ' => 'u', 'Ứ' => 'U', 'ừ' => 'u', 'Ừ' => 'U', 'ử' => 'u', 'Ử' => 'U', 'ữ' => 'u', 'Ữ' => 'U', 'ự' => 'u', 'Ự' => 'U', ' ' => '-', "'" => '', '&' => '');



to change the file in Joomla core.

Please tell me if you know how to do that.

Thank you,

Hai

Your issue is probably with the database then. Ensure your collation is set correctly to UTF8 Unicode for all your database tables. Aside from that post on Joomla forums if the alias function isn't working as you're expecting as again we're just using Joomlas function now.
