CMS Made Simple Forums

CMSMS 1.x used to convert umlaut characters in the page alias from texts like:

Süßer Text 123

to texts like:

suesser-text-123

In CMSMS 2.x this whole conversion does not happen any more and gives a result like:

süßer-text-123

Is this behaviour intended?

In CMSMS 2.x the URL in the HTML source code in the menue then looks like (using mod_rewrite on .htm)

"http://www.domain.de/süßer-text-123.htm"

but what you want is

"http://www.domain.de/s%C3%BC%C3%9Fer-text-123.htm"

(like the Wikipedia encodes it's URLs in HTML)

Yes, this is intended. Can't say if it all works correct though
We will look into it, and see what is the best behavior!

Thanks, Rolf

utf-8 characters are now allowed in URLS. Also in domain names, and most browsers support it properly.
