[Enable 'Unicode aliases'] German "Umlaute" not showing properly in URL

Hello

'content-page'
is just the default menu item

if you have not created more appropriate menu items, then the default menu item is selected

- so to 'remove' it create more appropriate menu items
e.g. create menu items pointing to the category of your item or to create less menu items you can create menu items pointing to some parent category


About the character
- the character you want is not allowed so it is replaced by the closest match !

same like if you type,
"καλημερα" it will replaced with "kalimera"

- if these characters are important then in Joomla global configuration
please enable "unicode aliases"

Hi there,

many thanks for the update. Will give your tip with the menu structure a try tomorrow morning.

Regarding the characters, I´ve enabled the unicode aliases now and cleared the Joomla and browser cache.
Also deleted the old alias in FlexiContent and replaced it with the correct one:


But the URL is still the incorrect one:
http://......../rezepte/item/31-tofufischstabchen-mit-reis-und-kohlrabigemuse

Anything else I can do here to get it working? What would help is replacing the "Umlaut", e.g. "ä" with "ae", "ü" with "ue" and "ö" with "oe".

Best regards
Torsten

Edit regarding the URL and "Umlaute" : it must have something to do with Flexicontent. If I create a Joomla menu item with an "Umlaut", the URL shows correctly.

Thanks again for your help, guys.

I fixed it now using "RSSEO" and rewriting the URL´s that contain an "Umlaut".


Best regards
Torsten

Hello

what you see is not related to RSSEO

and you do not need RSSEO to be able to use these characters

- just after enabling setting "Unicode Aliases"

you need to
1. re-edit items that you want to update their alias
2. and make alias field empty
3. click save

you see when an alias is already created re-saving the form will not change the alias
in order to change it , you need to make it empty and then save

Hello ggppdk,

I´ve already tried the following:

- enabling "unicode aliases" in the main configuration
- clearing cache (both joomla and browser cache)
- creating a new article with Flexicontent
- changing an existing article (removing alias and saving it again)

None of those steps helped getting the URL´s fixed, that´s why I currently use RSSEO. I know this is not the best way but I need proper URL´s. I don´t need the "Umlaut"-character itself but the written-out form; means "ü" is "ue", "ö" is "oe" and "ä" is "ae".

Best regards
Torsten
