encoding

Hi
I use SEF Advance for one of my customers website and it works great, so today i bought a new licence for another customer, but I get problems with å,ä and ö, i tried replacements but then it not works at all. Can u give me a hint. I use SEFA on www.cleansolutions.se I would like to use it on www.atvidabergsgk.se (they are not at the same webhotel). Can u give me some advice how to write replacements for åäö, when I try to separate them with comma, the links stops working. When I am not using it I get strange chars lik %/ and so on. I have about 8 customers on the sam webhotel and Iam planning to use SEF A for all if I can get it to work.
I am using Joomla 1.0.12, UTF-8 encoding for the website, JCE editor.
Thanks in advance

Hi,

The most common mistake that people do is described in FAQ:
www.sakic.net/support/faq/sef_advance/#18

You can't replace for example:
Ã¥=>a
because after that none of your links that contain "a" will work!

You can for example do:
Ã¥=>aa
providing that you don't have regular words with "aa" as name of your content. For example a section called "Aaron Smith" would stop working.

Hope this clears it a bit, if not just ask. :)

Yes, I got it working now, but the names look abit stupid as I have a lot of åä and ö i the links/filenames, is there any way to use the title alias to get better names/urls.

That's life, one could also say the swedish alphabet is stupid having åöä.  ;D

Sure you can use title alias instead if you set long URLs to No in SEF Advance configurations.

You can also use URL alias but it needs to be configured manually for every link.

Hi
I cant do anything about the alfabet, its an old country with a old alfabet, title alias seems to work ok with articles, is there any way to get it to work with static content as well? Sorry to bother u with so much questions, Thanks again

Too bad the americans invented internet.  :)
For static content it takes the menu title instead so it will be used.
