Japanese characters in alias

I'm not sure if this is a bad way to do it. I'm just posting this here.

in lib/misc.functions.php in function munge_string_to_url

...snip...

This is how I like my URLs. This may only work with "pretty URLs"/mod_rewrite. Full-width and normal spaces are replaced by a minus. Then all other punctuation and non-kanji/kana/roman characters minuses and underscores are discarded.

...snip...

Let me state once more, that I'm not sure if this breaks anything or even generates valid URLs.

In anyone has any comments or corrections, I'd be very interested to hear them.

Many thanks!

Modifying your CMSMS install means you will not receive ANY support.
I'm keeping a list,

Hi Calguy,

Of course I understand that this is the case.
However, please consider the reasons that the hack has been done.
I.e. that utf-8 characters are an integral part of urls as used in many sites around the world, and for my site we can't live without them.
See my post here" http://forum.cmsmadesimple.org/index.ph ... 746.0.html

I would like you to consider including support for utf-8 characters (at least as an option) in a future version.

Best regards

Ben
